We continue to receive the mos
discouraging accounts from the int
rior regarding the prospects Of til,
growing crop. 1t is not out of plac
to remind many cnnnnrtnl with tn
cotton interest growers and factors
that before the effects of bad seed, tn
late rains and overhows, that they es
timated the yield of this season at on
ly one fourth to one third of 1862. A
this time, with the numerous draw
backs, untOward weather, bad stands
and further confirmation that Samb,
is Indifferent about working, careless
about engagements, estimates do no
appear to he changed-that IS, one
fourth of a crop will he realized
which means the fourth of the yield o
1860, There are some exceptions
+ From sections of Mississippi we hav
i views expressing that the Weld may
5 according to appearances and pros
!, poets in that State, be 100000 bales
o while from other sections they talk 0
100000 bales. However it is useless
> for parties, bulls, bears, stays, and al
u interested, to be making estimates.
G They are not in our view, worth tn
$ paper on which they may be written
That the crop or yield viii be short
UNNECESSARILY short, so much so Their
will be no way to measure or estimat
l. it, there is not 4 doubt-N .. Times
