There is good sense in this para
graph from the New York Tribune:
The cotton crop Of our country
for 1869 amounted to three mill
sthree hundred thousand bales,
being the largest since that of 1860.
We presume that Of 1870 will not
fall below four million bales. This
prospect depresses the price, and
we hope to chronicle henceforth a
larger breadth Of the South devot-

fruits, to cattle and sheep breeding.
