II will be seen by reference TO the tables made up by
the NeevYork Shipping and Commercial List that the
crop OF the United Sate including that OF TeXRs for

During the whole of the present we have
deaTorcd to possess ourselves Of correct information
from the cotton growing section of the country On
ference to Circular OF 18th November 1s45 it will
be then believed that the frost OF fth 9Th and
9th November would prevent the maturing Of the
second growth and render an overwhelming crop I'M
probable" and on the 29th November. lSl5 stated
that from information then in our possession we were
fully persuaded that the crop would full materially short
OF the previous year This opinion reiterated the
10Th December last although some parties IN the early
part OF the season boldly announced that the crop would
be- the largest grown and even as Int the 30h

The arrivals of Cotton at this port for the past season
have been 3lil15 baloa against $50 bales last

these the recent complaints Of damage by the

increasing the alarm OF the planter already excited by

Carolina Georgia, North Alabama and Tennessee the
prospects, much favorable and considerable IN

may reasonably be expected although complaints OF
damage by caterpillar and boil worm in some few sec
tiCrs have lately been received.
Viewing the subject AT this time from all the data
within reach, are compelled TO admit that the
season is undoubtedly late one, and consequently the
danger arising from storms and frost considera
