CoTToN CRop-In the report of our Cotton
market in our last issue, we stated that the Flint
River crop was nearly all in, and instead of the
crop exceeding last years by 10 Is per cent.
as was generally believed, until the first Of De-
ccmber, it is found that it turns out short of the
last crop. Since making up that report, our
atteuti has been particularly called to this
subject, and we have made inquiry as to the
number Of cotton yet to be received, and the
crops as compared with the last year.
From the best information we can obtain, we
find there is not 300 bales Of cotton to be re-
ceived and not 600 bales left in all for ship
ment. This is unprecedent for the Flint River,
for there has been no season until the present,
that there has not been a large part Of the crop
on hand awaiting shipment after the first of
March.
1t is believed now that the whole Flint River
crop falls short of last year fully Is per cent.
which is the shortest cotton crop that has been
made for some years, Notwithstanding the in
crease OF planting.-Alblny Putrioi.
