MONDAY MORNING, SEPT. 1s, 1869.
The La.s Cotton Crop.

By special telegram to The News, pub
lished in another column, it appears that
the total cotton crop of 1s88-'69, according
to the New York Shipping and Commercial
List, is 2,260, 557 bales. This statement will,
we are sure, greatly surprise all who are
Interested in our great staple, as it falls far
below the lowest estimate up to the present
time by those who are accustomed to give
much attention to cotton statistios. The
New York Shipping aud Commercial List's
Crop Statements have for many years been
accepted as the authority by which the ao-
tuai amount Of the crop should be deter
mined, and we do not desire prematurely
to question the correctness Of its figures in
the present instance. We feel bound to
say, however, that much dissatisfaction was
expressed Last year, OF the unusual and
large additions made by the Shipping List
to the actual receipts at the ports, and by
which the crop Of lsG7-'8S was made largely
to excerd the estimates Of other we'll In,
formed authorities. Itsesms passing strange
that the same journal should, this year.
have made the crop so much smaller than
everybody anticipated. We shall await the
receipt Of the full details Of the estimate.
and may hove more to soy upon the sub.
jeot, should we see reasonable cause to
doubt their accuracy.

which prohibits tho sailing OF foreign-built
vessels undor the American flag. The pre-
dominating sentiment OF tho prncpa, speak
ers was that our shipping interests wero ra-
pidly declining. and that tho only rcmody was
free trade. II was stated that in Now Bruns-
wick tho wooden part ofthe hull OF C sailing
vessel was built at $22 in gold per ton, whilo
on the opposite side OF tho river in Name the
the same thing in evory respect would cost
s45, currency, and that tho people could not
be expected to invest in shipping uudor such
circumstances. A committee Of five WAS ap-
pointed to draw up suitable memorial to be
presortcd ~ Congress. To avoid the opposi-
lion Of tho ship builders whose business the re-
peal OF this law would entirely ruin. it was
suggested that Congress should further re-
NIT the duty on all such shipbuildng material
as has tho full internal revenue tax imposed
upon it.
Tho baby market in New York is active,
judging by the advertisements of that trade in
the city papers, which show demand and
supply Of three or four dozon per week. The
adoption, or more literally tho sale, OF inno-
cents has attained tho dignity Of a regular
business, supporting a number OF establish
ments and many private speculators. Strictly
speaking, it cannot be olaesed as productive
industry, since the producers Of tho commodi-
ty do not reap tho profits, those belonging
entirely to the "femalo physician" who plan-
ages the sale. Tho supply is obtained from
those mothers who have become such
"outsido tho conventional rules" as Mrs.
Stanton phrases it, aud tho demand is found
among those whose means and circumstances
are favorable, but TO whom nature is not be-
nignant. Tho former are usually anxious to
dispose Of their enoumbrances, and the latter
to obtain such ornaments OF the household by
purchase II no other means arc possible. And
i'm this they ,vo tho advantage OF wives oston-
sibly moro favored, since the baby mart nlIows
OF wide selection, in which preferences as to
Sex, complexion, size and disposition may in
great measure be consulted. Some purcha-
sers prefer brunettes, others blondes, and the
agents advertise their merchandise in assorted
parcels. Blondes rule highest at present, o
frst-olass specimen, with bluo eyes, bringing
one hundred dollars.
