A Coop QUALIrr OF CorroN.-Mr. A.
Mcdonald, . planter Of Wayne county,
Miss, paid US . visit yesterday after
noon, and in the course of conversation
alluded to cotton. He then showed us
an account current rendered for the sale
of cotton by Messrs. Walsh, Smith & Co.,
of two bales grown on his plantation.
The cotton was sold on Monday last for
30 cents per pound. It will be remem-
bered that middlings we're quoted on that
day at IL to 214c. It will be inferred
from this then that this cotton was a
very superior quality. Mr.. Mcdonald
informed us that he had been growing
this cotton tor the past six years, but
only in such quantities as were rendered
necessary for home consumption. The
two bales above alluded to were the FIRST
sent to market, but in future it is his in.
tention to plant largely of this quality
altogether. He represents the cotton to
DO Of remarkably long staple and very
beautiful in every respect. The two bales
at 30 per pound yielded the sum Of $500
20. If We are not mistaken this is the
highest price paid in this market during
the present season.-MobM Tribune, 4K.
