In considering the above table planters mn st NOT
overlook the fact that in addition to the amount
set down LOT consumption. there is quantity

lends to increase our receipts of cotton and sugar
but Is source of profit the city dealers and the
numerous class depending on them for business.
u, einer they nor others will object to the facts
being clearly placed before planters and factors.
Inc proceeds Of 100 900 bales of cotton would prob
ably pay for all the Western corn consumed By
southern planters in the cotton and sugar growing
: section connected with this city, and by buying
Western corn instead of raising it themselves their
cotton product is perhaps increased 10000 bales,

bales, or SO 0OO We suspect, however, that
without diminishing their cotton crop they can by
good management, considerably increase their sup
ply of corn
