what little changed hands was ct the
most irregular rates, rendering quota
tons impossible. Among the few sales
reported TO us were 20 bales Good Ordin-
airy at 28c u bales Low Middling at 26c,
and 5 bales Strict Middling at 10c. The
asking price for MidGling at the close OF
the market appeared 10 be Soc.
Nefl Brothers Cotton Circular Of
April oath says the Southern markets, es-
peeially New Orleans, have been some
what affected by reduced receipts at that
port, which amount to II 900 bales for
the week ending April 20, against $4,000
the week before, aud $1,000 the previous
week. The receipts for the week md
ing April q, we romark, We're 10000
bales There is some alarm felt in rela-
ton to the dangerous condition of the
river banks. A serious food on the east
side Of the river aoove would do vast
damage, especially If it reached the
YazoO Valley. As regards the growing
crop we have a vast variety Of opinions.
From some quarters, especially in Ala
hanna, there are great complaints that the
seed does not come up, or the plant dies
as soon as it gets fairly above ground.
| This is supposed 70 DE caused by the use
Of seed which has lost its vital power by
long keeping. From Georgia we have,
as yet, no complaints, but, on the con-
trary, very cheering reports, except from
particular neighbOrhoOds, whence we
hear of negroes violating their contracts
and changing their employers, tempted
away by higher wages. From Texas
and Louisiana accounts are still favora-
ble-some complaints Of cold nights and
too much rain, but on the whole the re-
ports are good. It would be folly for US
10 report all we get on the subject, the
range of opinion being as wide as the
poles-say from one to four millions for
the next crop. Receipts In New Orleans
