PROSPECTS OF COTTON.

Messrs. Editors. The following iner-
es,ing letter from tie Journaluf Commerce,
on The subject of the Cotton Crop, We
think will be found highly interesting to
your readers. 1t goes far to settle the
question that under no circumstances, can
it exceed 100000 bales--and that il is
highly probable that it may not be over
100000. If these facts are sustained,
The present prices are bul the effect of le-
gitimale causes, aud not The consequences
of nero speculation. w.
The following is extracted from letter;
moi written for effect and contains some
information:
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 80, 1S43.
My last letter was dated 18th inst, since
theu our Cotton market was quite anima-
ted, and The tendency of prices has been al
ready upward, until "middling" Cotton
have reached &c as you will see by the
quotations at foot. Even at these rates,
factors offer their Cotton so sparingly. that
orders in any extent cannot be filled. One
Of The largest brokers in The city, with
whom am very intimate, informed ME
last night, that Of 5000 bales he expected
10 purchase yesterday, he was only able
10 procure $50, owing to the factors de-
mandiug generally TO I'd above The quo
latons alluded to. The opinion prevails
here in all commercial circles ,except the
agents Of English manufacturers aud mer.
chants who affect to believe differently
that Cotton will not be lower this year,
and that in all probability il will advance
Id or more before the lst OF March. To
this opinion subscribe, as the accounts we
are daily receiving from the interior, give
the most gloomy picture Of The immense
destruction of Cotton in the fields caused
by the rains which have fallen almost in
cessanlly from the lst November ill the
23d December, in all parts of the Cotton
region tributary 10 this city, and for great
portion of the time in The country tribula-
ry 10 Mobile. As you are not familiar
with Cotton planting, will now digress a
little from the Cotton market To The Cotton
plant for The purpose Of showing the rea-
sons on which my short crop views are
predicated.
Asa general rule the seed of all plants
which arrive at maturity fall Immediately
to The ground. To this The Cotton plant is
somewhat an exception.
The boil or pod in which the seed is
continued, and to which the Cotton is at.
tached, opens gradually, and portion oil
the Cotton is fastened by gluey sub.
stance to the centre of the boil, where il
uniles with the branch or stalks. When
the boil opens, the Cotton gradually pro.
Ijecls, until it becomes a string like form,
