favorite cry. True, the staple was pretty well
eaten up by caterpIlars in Georgia. Florida, Ala

crop in Louisiana, Arkansas, Western Mississippi,
and Texas was immense, and the aggregate cou,a

advanced they modified their figures aud put It 81

planters were about as Wen posted as tne =, sgsSSs
Quietly stored their cotton in their gin houses OF
with their factors, determined 10 be paid for thel
labor this time or stop the machinery OF Manchef

From the commencement Of the season till now
