the plant running too much 10 leaf and partly 10 the
attacks OF insects, whilst on some drier soils, the
plants had been nearly destroyed by the exces-
sve drought OF the first two years. which al the same
time very lpuriously affected the grain and other
crops. IL appears, however, that in the neiahbor-
hood OF CoimbatoIe, in Southern India, better sue

ION having been grown, though hitherto al cost
wnlch would render the cultivation unremunerative.
~ Is thought, however, that when grown by the ma
tlves, who can carry the'cultvatlon OF their land
on much more moderate terms than Europeans, it
may be afforded at rates which will bring il into
consumption IN this country. The part Of India,
however, which appears best calculated for
the growth of the American varieties of the
cotton plant, and where the cultivation has been
most extensively and successfully prosecuted, is
the cotton district lying IN central India, to the
eastward of Bombay where the climate is favorable
TO the plant being neither too dry nor too moist and
where experiments large scale are still proceed
ing, at the expense OF the East India Company
These experiments are under the direction of Mr..
Mercer, one OF the American planters sent out a
few years ago; who, last year. had three thousand
acres under cultivation, and expected to have this
year, about twenty thousand acres all planted with
New Orleans cotton But the cultivation is not con-
fined to the experimental efforts of Mr. Mercer for
the ryos IN the districts have taken il up and find
the New Orleans cotton plant quite as profitable as
any unlrrlgated crop which they produce There
are also saw-glns IN active operation, under Mr..
MERGERS management; and il is expected that some
OF the cotton, grown and cleaned IN the district will
speedily make Its appearance in the Liverpool mar
ket Hitherto, however, the produce has been sold
70 the native manufacturers, who have discovered
Its superiority over the produce of the indigenous
plant, and give very good prices for il, for making
their own fabrics.

The fine weather, which may be said to have set in
about the Goth ut in the districts which supply the Lon
don market had an immediate effect IN checking the ois
position to enter upon speculative purchases in Marx

Wheat will be deficient, and holders OF Foreign have
therefore been rather rmer in uphoding prices than
could have been expected the fall from the highest point
being IS to as per quarter At all our markets hed

article small decline has occurred. A few samples
only of new Wheat have been exhibited they are gene

From the London Mark Lane Express, Sept IL
The weather has, since our last, been highly ausp
cious for bringing the grain crops to maturity in the
backward districts and for securing the corn where al
ready ripe Bright sunshine with drying breezes were
precisely what wanted after great quantity OF
ran and these have been experienced in all parts Of the
kingdom throughout the eek; should September prove
equally favorable the wheat harvest would terminate
much satisfactorily than at one time appeared like
ly; still we much question whether any weather, how
propous, can now make good the i'll effects OF the
wet, cold summer The most prevalent complaint, ant

feared has all along been the blanks caused in The ear y

material deficiency in the produce of potatoes must

least partial failure in this root in conjunction with the
reasonable suppostion that the yield OF wheat will also
be short is strong ground for concluding that the value
of the latter will rule higher from this time till the har

For the present however, the trade in wheat has, as
might have been expected, been influenced by the
change from remarkably wet and ungenial weather te
