Prospects of the Cotton Trade.


 We find in De Bows Commercial Review, for February, an elaborate article upon the prospects of the Cotton Trade. from Prof McCAY. of Georgia, based upon many carefully prepared statistics of the demand aud supply of cotton aud cotton fabrics throughout the world. After a full conside ratio n of ths various certain and probable causes which may operate at home aud abroad, to check or h.. crease the consumption and production of the raw material the total demand for 1850 is estimated at 2,5oO,OO0 bales; while the probably supply from the United States, the East Indies, and all other countries where the article is produced, will not exceed 2,10O,OOO bales leaving deficit of 100 000 bales. The stocks oa hand being smaller than they have been at ths same for ten years the pre- sent advanced prices mast be maintained The con cIuson, therefore, Is that even large crop from the next planting will bring fair prices, while a failure would carry up prices 10 the high range of 1855 aud 1886" These calculations were made to. ward the close of the pas, year, the continued high water n ali of our south western rivers, and tine consequent partial and in many instances total abandonment of the plantations upon the Missis- spp river has since given every reason to anti ciPate only short crop this year. that our plan ters, who may be saccessfui may well entertain hopes of an unusually profitable return for their productions. We congratulate them upon these prospects, and trust that application. industry and proper economy will enable them 10 realize rich harvest equal 10 their most prosperous anlcipatons
