A lively fisticuff took place yesterday on
Union street, in front of Brown d Shep-

Neither of them possessed the use of the

with benzine. Their vigorous, though

the crowd. They finally quit OF. CAS-

This being the last day of the cotton
year, it is timely to reckon up, as far as
possible, the yield of the last crop. At the
beginning of the year the crop was most
generally estimated at three millions of
bales. As yet, the returns being incom-
plete, it is impossible to say within fifty
thousand bales how far these expectations
compare with the actual result; but the
data is sufficient to enable us to state that
the Weld is two hundred and fifty thousand
bales in excess of that estimate. The
main item vet lacking to a complete state
ment is the movement by the oveland
routes. Last year two hundred and fifty
eight thousand six hundred bales were sent
from the South over the interior railroads
to the manufacturing districts. This year,
as the crop has been larger than last, it is
reasonable to assume that the overland
movement has also been proportionately
larger; and it, therefore, perhaps might be
safe to estimate that portion of the crop at
300, 900 bales Another unknown quantity
is that portion of the crop which is taken
directly from the plantations, or the inter
Tor towns, to the Southern factories. Last
year this amount was generally estimated
at 70, 900 to $4,000 bales. This year, IS
manufacturing has been extended at the
South, the amount may have increased to
100, 900 bales. To these two estimated
items we have but to add the actual re-
ceipts at the ports, amounting for the fifty
two weeks to 2,898, 600 bales, and we have
the total yield for the year. These items
compare with those of 1869:

The consnmntion at the North and Sonth

The consumption at the North and South
combined reaches the large total of 1,O64,
bales, or nearly one-third of the entire
crop. For the year 1869, the total home
consumption was 99S, 900 bales, viz: 91S,
600 bales at the North and $4,000 bales at
the South While, therefore, we have had
an increase of $50, 900 bales in the crop,
we have used at home only &C, 600 bales
more, while we have increased our exports
1921, 200 bales; in other word, we have in
creased our exports fifty per cent, and our
home consumption six and a quarter per
cent; a result not very fattering to the de-
velopment of our cotton manufacturers, nor
yet very complimentary to the working of
the protective" laws which mistakenly
aim to build up our industries at the ex-
pense of those of competing countries.
