pondent writing under tho above head,

messenger says:
1t a little remarkable that "colton
men, have made no allusion through the
press to the undcniabc fact that the
bales 0: cotton ofthe crop OF 1869
are, on an average considerably lighter
than were those Of lSG7-S. This is
verified by the observation and The re-.
ports that come from the large and small
markets of this country.
II is estimated that the difference
will average thirty pounds per bale,
which on all estimated crop of 2. 500, 0O0
bales, make diifcrncc of $500, OOO
pounds, or 100000 bales Of 500 poands
rach-thereby reducing The crop to g
$500 balcs-an item well worthy OF
noto by manufacturers and dca lcrs in the
staple generally.
The main reason with the planters 70,
packing light bales this season is quite
obvious. At the high ruling pic" ol
cotton, the bagging and rope, or ties
pay about two dollars per bale profit
that being tho estimated average differ
