promise of the crops both cotton and agar But these
adviees are exceptional Along the Mississippi, from
the Red river up the season, far as we learn
has been unsatisfactory in every aspect and cotton is
backward and unpromsing. Ane the same may BE-
said of the interior of North Louisiana in general In
fact the tenor of the reports received from all parts
of the growi belt Of the South is such to
forbid the expectation Of large production Of cot
ton as the breadth of land and the amount of labor
devoted to it induced the commercial world to anci
pate at the opening of the season 1t is believed by
many that there will be serious falling off from the
result of the previous year. At all events there
rot be- in the opinion of careful observers, the least
excess over that. There is degree of consola-
ton in the tendency that this prospect will have to
keep American cotton up to fair prices. For, in spite
of Senator Spragues unhappy conviction that India and
Egypt will drive American cotton from the markets,
unless the South can obtain labor for its cotton
fields there is to suppose that the demand
for the products of those fields will fail simply because
the aggregate supply is diminished, especially when the
acknowledged superiority Of this cotton is considered
As long as Southern agriculture afford, with the
labor that it has, to produce anything for commerce,
it can afford to produce cotton unless causes should
snpervene to put an end to its successful cultivation
under any circumstances. New Orleans Bulletin.
