COTTON CROP

The unLavorahle news from the cotton
market, has had visible effect upon the
nervous system of some Of our planters and
merchants; much greater we think, than
there is any grounds for The decline
seems to be without coed cause, the mere
ickleness Of trade, and we have every
reason to believe that it will soon regain
what it has decli Ell. There is a eliminating
point in the price of the article, and when
it reaches it, decline will succeed. and il
would be a miracle, if adventurous crcum>
stances did not cause it to decline below
the real market value. Fluctuations in the
price OF cotton will take place, and a few
timid spectators will become alarmed, and
hurry what they have OIL hand into market,
and thus create a great dIsproportion be-
tween the buyers and sellers; the effect is
natural enough; the price goes down much
below the market value; when a reaction
will again take place, and each ono anxious
to ho.d on for the highest price, there are
consequently moro buyers than Sc llers,
and the price. goes above the real market
value.
We take paragraph from the New Or
leans Crescent, upon this subject which we
commend 10 our planting friends:
CAUSES OF THE DECLINE of Co TToN -
The circular ofihe Tacotts, OF the 9th, as.
signs several reasons for the unexpected
and unnatural decline. The spinners are
using other cottons and neglecting the Liver
pool market, in order to affect the price;
second, TO fear of the Bank Of England,
third, to belief that the crop will run up tc
100000 or 2. 100000. The result, there
fore, now depends on the course Southern
planters may adopt with the balance of thei
crop. Our faith is unshaken in moderate
crop-certainiy not to exceed 2,15O,0OC
bales; but the anxiety Of planters to realize
causing early heavy receipts, will, if persist
ed in, weaken confidence in any estimat Il
under 100000 bales, or at all events de-
press prices to the point which will be con
sidered safe, adopting that estimate as TIT
basis, and when later in the season the fac
OF moderate crop is established, for who's
benefit will the error be corrected

"Here it is shown that the aggregate a.
mount of the exports of Southern industry
made to foreign countries within three
years, was 1912, 273, 294.
GLOW much of all this, does the reader
suppose, was imported by the South? Why,
as shown by our tables, only SIS, AL, 719!
The rest, SI64,835,575, went through the
hands of the North. How much was left
in those hands, and how many hundreds oil
thousands of people in the South would
this have maintained?s How many cities
would it have helped to build? How much
would it have served to reduce the pc1
