lion six hundred and sixty-nine thou
sand baies-at which ratio OF increase
Of the crop of last veal 1855 should
have beer seven million Of bales, instead
of a million and a half Of bales.
In further explanation of the above we
will add that 400. 600 bales of cotton
reached our ports from the close of the
war, May 4, 1885, 10 September 1, 1866
making the amount received at those
ports to September l, 1856, 2,571, 943 (;
from which deduct the 10000 bales re-
ceived up to September l, 1865, and we
have 2,151, 900 bales for the crop Of 1865.
From all we could learn from the pa
pers and from other sources there was a
much larger area Of land in cultivation
in cotton in 1856 than in 1865. The great
falling of In production can be attributed
only in part 10 the unpropitiOus season.
1t can be fully explained only by the
rapidly increasing inefflciency of the
negroes. They did not work nearly so
well the second year after the emanoipa-
ton as they did the first. This is but the
counterpart OF the history Of negro free
dom in the West Indies.
