entirely accurate basis for estimate; but
it is believed that fair approximation
has been made, thus making an estimate
of farm stock, as compared with the
number of 1860, as follows: Horses, 66
per cent; mules, 20; cattle, 65; sheep,
80; and hogs, Sc per cent.
A table of the estimated numbers OF
the farm stock of each of these States
will be found interesting. 1t shows an
actual increase in the sheep Of Texas
amounting to twenty per cent.
The county estimates Of the, probable
cotton crop on the lst of September were
less confident, for many reasons, and
especially owing to the danger to which
the crop is liable in the future. A fair
analysis, however, at that rate, OF the
elementary estimates, will make up q
grand estimate of about 100000 bales.
The estimate of the various farm crops
warrants the assertion that the year has
been one of remarkable fruitfulness OF
corn. There will be more than a thou
sand millions of bushels. Although late
fears Of killing frosts have been realized
only to a small extent, yet the recent
deluging rains overhowed large areas OF
ripening corn in the West, and retarded
its maturity generally, and aroused some
apprehension of an inferior quality in
that region. Wheat is not fully matured.

An Interesting Estimate Of Grain
and Cotton Crops

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-In the month
ly report of the Department of Agricul-
ture for September, now in the press,
will be found list of recent foreign
official statements concerning cereals
and cotton, of especial interest to Amer
lean producers The import of bread
stuifs into Great Britain during the
present year shows an Insignificant con-
tribution from this country; but the
acknowledged deficiency of the harvest
of the season, both in France and Great
Britain, promise a demand which will
call forth, at remunerating prices, our
surplus stores, which are sufficient to
materially aid in equalizing the heavy
balance of trade against the United
States in this country.
The following communication, bearing
date September 7th, has been received
by the courtesy Of the Assistant Secre-
tary Of State, from the United States
commercial agent, E. ID. Webster, will be
read with interest:
For the information of the Commits
sioner of Agriculture and the grain grow
ers of the United States, | have the
honor to state that the harvest in none
of the midland counties, or, indeed, in
any part of England, will come up to
the expectations that were entertained
few weeks ago. 1t will fall short both in
quantity and quality of the grain.
Unfortunately for the farmers, just as
they we're about to commence the wheat
harvest, severe rains set in, which have
continued with but little interruption
down TO this time; and the weather is
still threatening. The consequence is,
that in all parts of the country the rain
has been very damaging, and in some
places whole fields have been rendered
worthless for human food
The crop of sound wheat in England,
| am told by well informed persons, will
not be above one-half as much as that
harvested last year Very much Of the
wheat that will be harvested will be in
the condition commonly described by
our farmers as grown
Other kinds Of grain have also suf-
fered very seriously.
In France and other portions of
Europe the crops of wheat are also re-
ported small aI
1t will be seen (says the report) that
the ud0 aAACeAl teo u ~
propriate leading position in furnishing
the cotton supply of European manu-
facturers. The receipts of Great Britain
in seven months of the present year
were l,Ol7 ,s56 bales Of 400 pounds each;
which is greatly in advance of those
from India, and almost equal to the com
bined supply Of all cotton exporting
countries except the United States,
comparison of which is suggestive of the
continued and assured supremacy Of
United States cotton in the markets OF
the world.
The imports from the United States, in
the six months from January to June,
inclusive, are computed at $l26, ,349, ,S55,
or 9O4, 704 bales, OF 81 cents per pound;
while all other imports averaged but u
cents and India cotton but y cents
An interesting feature in the present
report is the assumption Of statistical re
lations with the South. Its returns may
not be sufficiently numerous to afford an

The Battle of Palos Pietas

SAN FRAYoIsco, September PA
letter dated September 2lst, giving an
account of Corona's recent operations
at Palos Pietas, near Mazatlan, says;
Seven hundred men, under the command
of Colonels Grenade and Martinez, en-
tered the French position from the rear,
capturing one piece of artillery and the
Imperial magazine The French who
were cut off from Nlazatlan, made two
desperate charges under Capt DeLatak,
who succeeded in recapturng the cam
non
An Imperial battalion coIled casodors
shortly arrived and drove off the Liberal
forces. Both sides exhibited the utmost
bravery, and especial praise is awarded
to Capt DeLatak for his obstinate de-
fanQa
