SIR: There ought to be no misapprehension

gathered Many who obliged sell have crowded
1t upon the market that 1t appeared though there
full crop at the first opening Of the season The
truth however too apparent that the crop will be far
behind the expectation Of the planters, aud, the
penses Of production have been heavy IL prob
able that at present prices much more will be sold
Something has been said about taxing cotton again by
Congress IL viii be a sad day for the South when any
such measure passes again The effects would prob
ably be that tue cotton planter would have 20 change his
occupation. There Is thing certain he cannot buy
fertilizers pay aborers State and Federal taxes risking
