The Plethora of Cotton,

The Macon (Ga) Messenger of the Both
ult says:
1t really seems that we are to have no
end to the cotton crop of last year. 1t has
been coming to Macon at the rate of so
and 100 bales per day, for the last week or
ten days, and we were assured yesterday
that there is still lots of it in the country
to come forward. We now begin to think
the receipts at Macon this season will
closely push $4,000 bales, and the entire
crop of the country will run over 10000
bales. That it will run considerably over
all estimates made by those in the business
at the opening of the season, is generally
conceded, and these ''guide-posts" having
now disappeared, there is no telling what
the crop of 1S69-7O will be until it is all
in and counted.
