CoTToN-The movement in cur market to day
has exhibited very unusual state of afiirs. Ad-
vices from all available points disclosed steady,
and in some cases heavy decline, but rates here
have been firmly upheld, nevertheless and in ex.
ceptonal cases. still higher figures have been paid
by brokers and buyers. The nominal stock on
hand last night was correctly reported ia this
mornings CRESCENT at ll46lS bales, but il is
generally admitted that most of the latter has al
ready changed hands, and that the supply on sale,
or TO be put upon the market hereafter is exceed
ingly light. To-day the demand was fair and in
Cluded offers for most of the European as well as
the Northern markets, but, as heretofore the sup.
ply was limited and undesirable, and the total
operations amounted TO only 1850 bales. The re-
ceipts of cotton thus far this week disclose a very
heavy falling of, and the opinion prevails that the
total for the season viii be very light Rates Of
Gold and Foreign Exchange have been fully up to
previous figures, aud the prospect of a more than
nominal crop Of the staple for the ensuing year il
so discouraging, that holders appear to feel ex-
ceedngly confident that prices cannot go materi-
ally lower. The ruling figures az the close of

Ihe IneomIng NYhent Crnn.

The following is so much of the June re
port Of the Agricultural Department as re-
lates to the incoming wheat crop. An in
crease of acreage is observed in greater or
less degree in nearly every State. Eastern
states show no increase of fall sowing, eX-
cept four per cent in Vermont, but enlarged
area of spring crops, which are tue main
home reliance for bread supplies, is very re
markable in Maine and Vermont, the for
mer showing an advance OF twenty.siN per
cent, the latter of sixteen per cent. A very
slight movement in this direction is shown
by New Hampshire and Massachusetts,.
New York indicates five per cent increase
in fall acreage, with no change in spring
wheat. In Pennsylvania the average is yerV
slightly enlarged, three per cent for winter
wheat. In Delaware Il reduction of seven
per cent appears, while an increase of four
per cent is shown in Mary md, eleven in
virginia, seventeen in North Carolina,
twenty,One in South Carolina, eleven In
Georgia, ten IN Alabama, ffty-two in Mis-
sssippi, thirty-one in Arkansas, forty in
Tennessee, thirty in West Virginia. In
Texas a decrease is shown of six per cent,
and IN kentucky of one per cent. Spring
wheat is not grown in the South.
The increased acreage in the West, where
the great bulk of the wheat crop Of the
country is grown, is of peculiar significance.
or the States in which winter wheat is most
largely cultivated Ohio presents an increase
of five per cent OF that variety, Indiana ten
per cent and Michigan seventeen per cent.
In portions of these States an unusual effort
has been made to enlarge the area by spring
sowing, showing respectively eleven, four,
teen, and six per cent increase. In the
States which rely mainly upon spring soWn
crops Illinois indicates an increase in that
variety of twelve per cent, Wisconsin four
per cent, Minnesota twenty.three per cent,
and Iowa twelve per cent, an increase haY.
ing been made also in winter wheat in the
same States with the exception of Wisconsin
and Iowa, though in Minnesota the total
product Of the fall sown wheat is too triAing
TO be much affected by it.
The increase of winter wheat in Illinois
is placed at ten per cent, in Missouri fifty
per cent, and in Kansas twenty-five per cent.
An analysis of these averages will show the
general average of about eleven per cent
Increase in fall sowing, and twenty.eight
per cent in breadth of spring wheat, alto
gether an increase of eighteen to twenty
per cent in the aggregate number of acres
in wheat.
Reports of the condition for June are gen
orally very favorable. The promise of the
best crop ever known is held out by local
correspondents in many places, particularly
west of the Mississippi Some complaint Of
failing is made, but the extent of this dam
age, which has been more severe during the
latter part OF the month, is not determined.
Many of the most serious complaints of the
winter-killing of the crops in Kentucky and
Tennessee have been greatly modified by
subsequent growth and tilling of the roots
presumed to be dead.
