been sold 1868 bales new cotton, making the
| total receipts for the season 2l47 bales to No
| vember l, 1868; and we think we may safely
| estin ate the crop to be sold here yet at about
| five thousand bales. SuppCsing our farmers to
invest one-hat their crop in supplies for another
| year, they will have snug little pile of green
| backs left to operate on. The cotton sold has
