How About the Cottouy

A there Is fair prospect that the war will be
over by mid~ummer, the cotton-supplY question
begins TO be much di<cussod in commercial cir
clss While this important product has been
proved by the waT 10 have regal powers Il Is
still in great favor the world over, and hundreds
OF millions of m 1ney are ready TO be poured into
the South in eK henge for tails foculent hbre as
soon commercial relations can he re-estab-
hshed. Nov, what IS the prospect? VIII the
cotton b. sold or DESTROYED How much may we
reasonably SIpect to Hud avsilable In the Soutn
and what will be the prooabl- course Of prices!
Assuming that The crop OF laSs year, not vet
marketed. was I 600 COO baies O., las been esti-
mated at ZOO OOO Oales), IL is not possible that
more than 5OJ co biles can have run the block
ade, or have been IVES ed and DESTROYED by tbe
Union and Rebel armies. As yet our armies
have barely skifted the cotton regions Some
was destroyed en- the South Carolina coast, cut
more was Zsd by the Union troops or trans
ported into tue interior o. the Rebels A few
hundred bales may have been destroy, In Vir
giuis, North Circltna and Tennessee, and few
thousand in tie nsighhorhood Of New Orleans;
but the vast bulk OF the crop is still lying un.
ginne1 and unbaled on plantations and in out Of
the-way places.
No matter II the whole South 1, the scene OF a
bitter partisan war which should continue even
until autumn, tho stock Of cotton, eventually
available for commerce cannot be reduced below
3U0O,O bales In the meantime another crop Is
growing, not large az that Of last year for OBJ
vious reasons, bnt BtiIl not more than one-third
iess. 10 is indesd safe to assume that there will
be ,CH0 600 bales CT . neTican cotton which Will
come upon the markets q the world between
next July ard the following April. The planters
must self and submit to lower prices than have
been known for yeaIs, Tor the immense accumu.
lston Of tie tao Yeas will meet In sompetitIo on
an excessive product from all the other cotton re-
Rions Of the earth.
Taking for granted that the war will be over by
midsummer, We may assume:
! That az least ak million bales OF American
cotton will be available for the commerce Of the
world before the following spring.
3 That owing 20 the American war an unusual
" large cotton product may be expected from
India, Egypt, West Africa, Brazil, and other
cottOn-g growing regions; and
Asa cons-q quence that a cotton glnt will sue
