The estimate OF $500, 900 balcs of cotton
(say s74. 600, 600 pouuds) as the average OF last
years Southern crup Is very encouraging one

cleared, after paying all expenses OF transpor-
tation. commission sales, and so ca, about
seventy millions of dollars. And this, says the
New York Times, will be pretty much intact as
new cap,,al, for the South bought very little
grain last year, raising nearly all she needed.

AT no time since the war, says the Macon
Telegraph, has there been 80 large avolume OF
currency afloat as in Georgia to-day. Tho
planters have realized an enormous price for
their crop, and, being comparatively free from
debt, they have the bulk of it on hand. About
thirty four thousand bales OF cotton havc.been
sold in this mark 1t alone, bringing s4.250 OOO.
At least So 100000 of this money is now within
the commercial rsdius OF Macon, to say nothing

son opened. The great stock purchase has Sc
riously affected the atlantic and Gulf Railroad

stock, as people geuerally suppose tho Central
