State of the Cotton Crop--Aspect of the Market
JAMES GORDON BENNETT, ESQ.
1t may not be unacceptable to you to have some
information in relation to the extent Of the grow
ing crop and the transactions in cotton amongst us.
So far, it is evident that the present crop will be
far short of full one, and from all the information
can collect, it will reach but little over 500
600 bales. Some estimate it at two millions,
but il cannot reach that quantity. This State and
Georgia will certainly fall short one-fourth, if not
more. Alabama may reach 425,0O0 bales, while
the receipts of New Orleans cannot exceed S25 900
bales ; and Florida, 1870 900 bales. My estimate Is
as follows it has been collected from the best
sources New Orleans receipts, S25,OOO bales ;
Mobile, ~425, 900 Florida, 10000 Savannah and
Charleston, $50, 000-Total, $3.50, 900 bales Should
the crop exceed this estimate, it cannot reach two
millions but no one can estimate within one nun
dred thousand bales at this period OF the year
The cause of the falling off of the crop is easily ac-
counted for the planting season was from two to
three weeks later than usual, and in July and Au-
gust there was too much ram at that stage OF the
growth of the plant, which had the effect OF caus-
ing the youn forms TO shed, and although the
weed grew to a good height, the fruit was want
ing, and nothing but the very favorable season the
planters have had, has enabled them to save the
short crop of about 900 bales. feel satisfied
that two to three hundred thousand bales of this
crop will be retained in the hands of the planter,
until another year. unless the prices advance to
ten cents or mere. The favorable opinion held by
all those interested with healthy state of trade
and the relief from great portion OF Indebtedness
on the part ofthe planting as well as mercantile IN
terest, gives a stimulus to planters to hold back
their cotton for improving prices
Since the arrival Of the packet of the 4th, our
market has exhibited great activity, and cotton has

IMPoRTANT PROM BRAzIL.-We have received
late and important intelligence from Brazil.
The Brazilian government has refused its assent
to the basis of Treaty of Alliance which the go
vernment of Montevideo had proposed. At the
same time it declared its intention to observe stric
neutrality in the present war between Buenos Ayres
and Montevideo Instructions to this effect have
been sent to the Brazilian Minister at Montevideo
and to acknowledge the blockade of that port by
Admiral Brown of the Buenos Ayrean squadron.
This puts new face on the position Of affairs in
that quarter. Our last advices from Montevdeo
stated that serious difficulties with Brazil Were APP
pretended, but the above intelligence places all
warlike matters on the peace list again.
