With regard to the incoming crop, we
cannot yet, with any degree of certainty,
form an estimate of its deficiency. The
opinions OF those whom we regard as the
very best Judges, vary on the probable
amount 10 be received at this port--l cir
estimates ranging from 100000, to 400 900
bales. Their estimates OF The incoming crop
of the United States also range from 1900.
600 to 100000 bales. The deficiency is
greatest in the following States, and in the
order we name lhem-Louisiana, Alabama,
Mississippi and Texas. In all of the At
lantic STATES, and Florida, it is believed the
yield OF this season will equal. and in some
of them exceed that of last yrar-but it must
be borne in mind, that the yield of all these
States of last year amounted TO only about
1900 bales-showing that they then con.
tributed less than one.thrd of the crop of
the United Slates.-MobHe Advertiser.
The estimate Of 100000 10 10000 bales
for Alabama, is most extravagant,-and

who have all object to subservs, or from
those who have not the requisite data for ma.
king reliable estimate. All the informa-
ton that we are in possession f-and we
have not only the benefit of exchanges from
all parts of the State, but we have taken
special pains to get infornatio through
other channes-tends 10 show that the crop
OF Alabama is not only much below that of
last year, but The Shortest for the amount of

The counties of Green. Sumter, Marengo
and Perry, we are fully satisfied. have made
but little, if any, over half of hat they did
last year; in fact, we do not believe that
the crop Of Marengo will reach half of that
of last year,-and as 10 that of Greene, we
have been assured by a gentleman of good
judgment, who travelled few weeks ago
over the entire county, that the crop cannot
possibly reach half of last years.
But most Of the best cotton counties in
the State are doing very little better than
those we have ed.-whilst some are do.
ing quite as bad. A few Of the Eastern
counties are making something more than
they did last year; but the falling off in the
fu,o coppfiae nc
probably counterbalance this increase. In
reference 10 North Alabama. taking the facts
published in late number of the Montgom>
cry Journal as guide--and we consider
them more reliable than other Information
we have seen from that quarier-and the
conclusion is irresistible, thst there will be
little or no increase in the crop 10 that
quarter, compared with last year.
Where, then, is the increase 10 come
from Assuming the falling off in the cotton
region OF the State to average one third,
compared with last year-we believe it will
be greaer--and where is this deficiency to
be half made mp? Are those persons who
estimate the crop Of Alabama at $4,000 to
100000 bales aware, that in the principal
cotton. counties. the crop was nearly all gath.
cred in two months, and the picking poor al
that?
As an offset 10 the opinions OF those who
estimate the crop of the State at $4,000
to 100000 baes,--we again hazard the
opinion, that the crop cannot much. If any
erceed 100000 bales. We shall be more
astonished if it goes above 100000, than il
it falls below. Nor have we the most dis.
tant idea that the crop of the United States
will reach 100000 to 100000 bales.
Our estimate for the entire crop, is abou
1900 900 bales +; $50 600 of which we al.
low for the receipts Of New Orleans,-3OO..
600 for Mobile,--and $50, 900 for all other
ports.-Greensboro' Beacon.
