us the instructive and valuable Re-
port on Agriculture for May and June,
and we deem it our duty to furnish
our readers with such extracts from
it, as may prove advantageous and
entertaining. The farmers rule
should be: Prove allthings, hold fast
that which is good. These reports
facilitate tho proving; they furnish
we'll attestcd facts, and the intelligent
cultivator may extract from them a
we'll approved system of husbandry.
Let the Report sp' ak for itself:
"HnAr.-'Aoeumul evidence

fertilizing, particularly in badly fmanee
aged, neglected and worn out lands.

and one bushel Of oats and barley, to
the acre all of which (May 20th)

ought to have stated tho character
and condition Of the field.
"Another correspondent, Kanawha
Co. West Va. states that last fall in
one part of . field wheat was sown,
and then turned under to tho depth
Of FIVE inches with turn plough, and
in another part tho ground was bro

narrowed in. The first is from to 9
inches taller, and Of dark green
color, while the other is pale and
sborter."'
Our opinion is that in our light
lands all small grain should be cover

CkKsczxr OFFICE, "a Camp Street. !
New Orleans March IL, 1869.
We hear that there is q movement on foot
among the property holders on Chartres, Royal,
Bourbon, Dsuphin aud Burgundy streets to ini-
nate joint action towards the widening of those
streets by ten feet on each side. While this would
decrease the size of each Of the squares, all the
way down TO Esplanade street, and doubtless en-
tail very heavy expense, or rather sacrifice, on
the part of the owners Of the properties reduced
still we cannot but believe that the result would
De profitable in the end as one of the principal
objections urged against that part of the city has
always been the narrowness OF the streets.
we also learn that q certain organization which
numbers among its members all the leading pro.
fessional, commercial and literary mea of the
city intend purchasing property in some central
position, with view to the erection Of grand
CLUB house and theater. Now, we would respect.
fully suggest that it would not be unwise for pro.
perry holders whose lots are eligibly situated TO
make propositions to this organization to give
them the ground necessary. If they will locate it
amidst them. The Varieties Theater was built
about twenty years ago, in part the city which
was then as innocent of business houses as almost
any street in the upper part of the Second or back
part OF the First Districts but in five years from
that time changes were made in that locality
which advanced the value of properties there at
least one hundred per cent. May not the building
OF another popular club room and theater be at.
tended with a like RESULT Let the owners Of real
estate in good locations ponder on this.

very satisfactorily. Onr Cotton market is exceed

show but little increase, aud although the supply
Is now fair, operations continue light at previous
prices. The stock of Sugar shows a steady accu.

ceipts of Molasses are still light and meet with
ready sale. but without any improvement in rates.
Flour has been inactive with augmented receipts
and limited inquiry at former figures. Corn has
come in more freely and is somewhat lower. Al.
though the local and shipping demand Indicates
but little, If any, abatement. Oats, Bran and Hay
are in light supplysnd request without any marked
alteration in prices. while Bacon and Lard have
remained quiet at about last weeks figures. and
Pork has been unsettled with some indications Of
Improvement within the past day or two. Cur.
rency is still abundant. Foreign Exchange is in.

The CoTToN CRoP-Hs Past, Present and

ton TO be raised in the United States cannot. for
AZ least several years, exceed two and a half mil

point to much smaller figure. II Is an alarming
TACT that throughout middle Alabama the planters
are from two 70 three weeks behind with their

On quite large number of the plantations no
hands nave been employed, and of course no work

NUMBER OF hands employed is wholly INADEQUATE

The entire visible supply Of cotton IN the world

In 1858 1t was 100000, and in 1867 1t was

while the world has been producing as much cot

continually gaining upon production, and, Is

extent OF 100000 bales In two years.

improved sdvces from the principal European
and Northern markets. But since then there has
been Q general return to the previous apathetic
sno monotonous movement, as Saturdays prices
were not upheld at Liverpool or New York, and
quotations. here have receded even below the
closing figures of last week. Operations under
tne circumstances may be reported as partially
SUSPENDED as while most buyers are limited to
such reduced figures that they are wholly unable
to NIL orders, the principal factors resolutely
reIuse 10 make any concessions whatever. There
are, nevertheless parties to be found at all times
VINO deem II best to meet the every day market,
ana sucn Oh toe latter parted with lists during
the past two days had to submit to decidedly
lower quotations. For full understanding of the
movement since the date of our last, we would
refer to the subjoined extracts from our daily
reports, viz:
Saturday. March l3.-Adyices from New
York, Liverpool and Manchester disclosed
better feeling to-day, and the demand in
this market has been active and gene
raj throughout on the part of domestic as well
as foreign purchasers. The Offering supply also
and the movement resulted in total sales of 6250
bales at an average advance of &c. q ID.
Monday, March l5.-With less encouraging
advices from Liverpool and New York
Of Gold and Exchange, the movement ia
the Leading staple has been Of very res
tricted character throughout. Factors gene.

ever, Dut some Few OF the NUMBER deemed IL best
TO realize at Offering figures, and sales of 1000
bales were effected at en- irregular decline of Ia

Tuesday, March 16.-The market to day has dis.
closed still increasing weakness. Offerings were
at no time better than moderate, and the demand
was exceedingly restricted throughout. InteIli-
gence from leading European and Northern ports
was not OF character to infuse spirit or energy
In cotton circles here, and In fact the entire move-
ment was confined to $500 bales at the annexed
