From the Journal Of Commerce.
The following estimate of the cotton crop is based
upon information derived from reliable sources in
the coton-growing States and if it serves no other
end 1t may indnce investigation. At all events it
can injure no intearst by calling attention to the
contrast between the two seasons-ths and the
last. .- 49, .t-.a. .
The crop Of last season q very large one and
the weather extremely favorable for picking it.
This season commenced with drought and in the
early stage of the plantit retarded in its growth
The drought was followed by continued rains in
I L
growth of the stock, and~caused portion of the
fruit that wasprevionsly formed to fall off and when
a second formation OF bolls was in process of ma
turing from the latter growth, the caterpillar APP
peared, and did serious injury in many sections.
The picking season IS full two weeks behind last
year in It's commencing and the frost is three
weeks in advance Of last year. The first killing
frost Of 1852 was on the l4th November; this year
on the 18th October
The following figures may not therefore, prove
far from the product of the present crop:
New Orleans POO 900 bales.
Alabama 425 600
Texas 10000 excess
Florida 100000
Georgia 100000
South Carolina 100000
North Carolina 10000
Virginia 10000
Bales 2,595,OOO
Say IN round numbers, 2 600 600 bales
The crop Of 1851 was 2355, 257 bales, that of
1852, 3,Ol5029; aud the last crop, 1862 $50 bales

Pork SPEcULAuoNs.--Notwiths the dis
aS'ers which overlook the specualions in Pork last
season, dealers in the West are again rushing into
the market at rates as high as last year. under a
vague impression that there is money to be made
by it, The official and other reports which 90 to
'hsw large increase in the Hog Crop this season
are ignored and set aside, and the new specuatons
are based upon presumed shortness of the crop
and anticipated increase in the home and FOREIGN
demand. The Cincinnati Price Current disconr
lges this view of the matter, and urges its conf
lent belief that the increase supply of Hogs this
year viii be much greater than the increased de-
nsnd. In this connection it publishes the follow
ng extract from letter written by reliable party
