COLUMBIA.
Wednesday Morning, Feb. 81, 1886
immigration.

Last month, the number of efni-
grants that arrived in New York was
11,175-oyer twice the number that
arrived at Castle Garden during the
same month last year. The great
majority Of these emigrants have set
out for the Western States. A few
hundred, possibly, may find their way
to the South. Northern gentlemen
who have become interested in lands
in this section have written to their
agents in New York to secure the
services of a certain number of
German emigrants. In twelve months
from the present time, the Courier
thinks, South Carolina, if the march of
improvement is not interrupted, will
be so far. advanced in the matter of
developing her resources. as to excite
the envy of half the States in the
Union. A gentleman living in the
city is looking for an arrival of emf
grants during the present week.
They will be sent to plantation dis
tant about twenty miles from Charles
ton. The prospect for future pros
perity is encouraging.

Total 80. 1851, 900 2,755, 900 5000, 600


of 400 lbs. ,243, 900 2,414, 900 1850, 900
=. Direct shipments from America to the
Continent will probably reduce the export
from this country to $1,000 bales per week,
against 1900 bales last year, or total Of
79O, 900 bales, against $780, 900 bales. This
would leave 1920, 900 bales Of all kinds for
home consumption, or only 42,7O0 bales
per week, against 80, 100 bales las: year,
and present average of $4,000.
There is, therefore, nothing to warrant
the expectation of any material average
decline in prices. The anticipated in
creased supply in actual packages is 245,-
900; but in bales of the uniform weight Of
400 pounds, only 10000. Considerable
fluctuations may be anticipated, arising
out of the varying relations Of supply and
demand, as well as from the changes Of
feeling and opinion which must ever attend
the market until the trade has resumed its
normal character. The exceedingly low
state of the stock of all kinds of cotton
goods will be q great source of strength to
the Manchester market, and enable pro-
ducers to maintain, if not to increase, the
present margin between the prices of raw
cotton and manufactured article. The pro-
liability OF dear money and constantly va
rylng rates of discount will curb specul a.
ton, and have tendency to keep bushes ss
within safe bounds.

Noticing DR.. Cummings prediction
that the world will come to grief in
1867, the Augusta Constitaltionalist
says:
We are fully persuaded that this
will prove to be "great cry and
little WOOL" for, shave the pig-headed
world as you may, bristles alone fall
into the apron of the inspired barber.
All this raying about the end of the
world is mere bosh and Indigestion
A bad stomach is the origin Of vast
deal of the lugubrious religion of our
fellow-creatures, and Dr.. Cumming
wo-ld do well either to go to a water
cure establishment or sanitary COM
mission, before ne e dons his ascension
robe in the judgmen. day OF 1867.
We stake our money on he planet,
and think it safe.

STANTON TO GO OUr.-A Washing

Ledger says: The short editorial allu-

mere as one of the most significant
signs IN connection with the retire-
ment of this gentleman from the
Cabinet that has yet appeared. Tie
pen that wrote it was fully cognizsnt
OF what was about to happen; but
the earnest plea for his continuance
ut ut his post, and the picture drawn of
the consequences that might ensue,
should his co-laborer in the Treasury
department and the country at large
Lose his services, will not avail in
changing the fiat that but awaits
official utteranee. s.-. ..

The Washington correspondent Of
the Mobile Register and AdUertissr,
speaking of the action and strength
of the radicals, aud the policy Of the
President, says:
And they will surely succeed in all
their designs, unless they are speedily
grasped by restraining hand. With
Cabinet which does not sympathize
with him, and two-thir.ls majority
against him in either House, the
President has no alternative but to
use the power at his command. I'm
der the existing circumstances, he
cannot longer remain passive without
exerting most diseouraging infu-
ence upon the friends of restoration
throughout the country. Everywhere
they are watching, waiting, hoping.

yield than seems at present to be gene
rally anticipated, but yet one that will fall
very far short of the requirements of the
world, and, therefore, render any impor-
tant decline from present rates improbable.
The monetary disturbances Of the past
year, and the high prices OF cereals, have
exercised prejudicial influence upon the
Indian crop, more grain and less cotton
having been put into the ground than in
the previous season. AS, however, we have
this time last year, and which, but for the
great depression experienced in the spring,
would have been shipped in time to have
been added in the import Of 1865, we think
1t highly probable that the import Of 1866
will reacn from $50, GOO to i, 800, ,0GG bales,
against 1,266, 900 bales last year-due al
lowances being made for shipments to
China. Should the arrivals from America
snow any important excess upon our esti-
mate, no doubt prices would be depressed
and shipments from India curtailcd, as was
the case last year. The Egyptian crop ac-
counts are very unfavorable Opinion diff
fers as to the probable deficiency, compared
with the yield Of last year; some authorities
place it as high as so per cent, others as
low as 25 per cent.
Taking the least unfavorable view Of the
matter, Great Britain's share of the crop
would be about 250,000 bales, against
1884, 600. A similar reduction for Turkey,
whence the advices are equally discourage
ing, would give us $4,000 bales, against
$4,000 bales. From the Brazils, the news
port thence of about 100000 bales more
than last year-say 40, 900 bales, against
340,0 900. The West Indies, Peru and mis-
cellaneous sources, will most likely send
us 15O, 900 bales, against 131, 900 bales.
;, recapitulation of the foregoing gives
the following total, as compared with the
actual figures Of 1865 and 1864:

ESTIMATE OF PROBABLE CoTroN SUPPLY
Nessrs. Ellison & Hayward, cotton brokers,
Aave issued to-day their monthly cotton
port and annual review Of the cotton
Earket for 1865. 1t is document of great
myth, very elaborate in its treatment of
livery point interesting to the trade, and
I3he latepess of its appearance is accounted
II by the great research which was ncces-
AIRY for the accurate compilation OF such
document, some of the facts embraced in
having to be waited for till the last mo-
lent before publication. The following
xtracts give an estimate of the probable
'Mpply Of cotton, and an interesting COM
paratiye statement of the economic vicis-
situdes of the cotton trade during the last
ten years.
Tho new year opens with promise of
healthier and more renumerative trade
than has been experienced for several
years past. The doubt and uncertainty
that still surround the future Of supply
