"The fact is, that ! neither retreaied rom,

N In a communication TO the Picayuue, lrol
Thomas Afleck, an intelligent and scientif
h planter of our State, there occurs the followin
is paragraph, well worthy Of attention, He Ia
v been s%perging of the almost certainty of ha'
At ing a short crop of cotton, and of the effect
should have upon the prices;
n. 'If in the habit of betting, you may safeI
!, venture a hat that the manufacturers ON II
,s other side will win the day! Notwithsta-
ding that every observaut planter know
:. that the estimates generally believed in hay
" been entirely too high and that twenty p
a cent. Of the possibilities of making Il fl
u crop this next year are already lost, pa
overtaking yet us prices stagger, they W
press cotton in the market, Instead of We
& turing something and holding Oh firmly
"a. The tirmness and decision Of planters dnrii
n. the next three months will determine d
ne price of the staple during the next thr
years"
~ Mr., Afleck says further, in relation to {

"Nilhln the next two years, | hope
fruit some two hundred or more varieties
