Editors Appeal: I notice that you in
wife information from the various sections
Of the country as TO the prospects of the
growing crops, and having recently
passed through a number of the
OF North Mississippi, to-wit; DeSoto, Pa
nOls, Tallahstchie, YalObusha, Lafayette
and Marshall, with a view of obtaining
information on this subject, have no hest
tstion in saying that, with an experience
and observation Of thirty years, 1 have
rarely, If ever, seen the prospect more
discouraging. Two weeks ago the indi-
cations were very different. The stands
were then good, and the weather having
been favorable for work the crops were
clean and everything encouraging. About
that time cold rains, with an occasional
sprinkle Of hail, set in and continued for
about ten days. With these cold rains
came the lice,~and probably in the
whole history Of cotton planting
the ravages of this plague have
never beer more destructive. Very
many crops which, two weeks ago, were
most iattering, have been abandoned or
plOwed up, and all, without an exception,
seriously Injured. True, crops tina were
IN he grass have not suffered 50 seriously
from me ice, but during the wet weather
the grass got such a hold that It is found
impossible to subdue it, and save more
than the fourth OF a stand. IL is no exag-
geratiOn to say that with the most favor
able seasons henHeforth, not more than
halt the expectations OF Two weeks ago
can be realized in the counties above
named.
There is not a telerable crop on tine fssl-
road from Memphis to Grenada or frsm

plant is universal in the counties through
which these roads pass J..

COTTON.

Sales to-day footed up to 324 bales on
= basis of 20&20kc for Middling, ISAG
Ice for Low Middling, l7H@lSc for Good
Ordinary and Is to lie for mixed, stained
and inferior. During the forenoon the
inquiry was active and stimulated by
favorable eastern and foreign kilograms,
and where a disposition was manifested
by factors to make sales, buyers were
clined to buy freely. In the afternoon
the market was less firm and at the close
was duh. Among the sales WAS 50 bales
strict Middling at 2OIc; 90 bales Mid
ding 10 strict do, st 2O1<c; 40 bales Mid
ding at Doc; 30 bales Low Middling at l9c;
Is bales do, at ISAc; 80 bales strict Good
Ordinary at lSc; l3 bales Good Ordinary
at l714c, and sundry small lots of mixed,
stained and inferior, at from IS to lie.
Factors are inclined to believe that the
market will settle in a day or two and
that buyers will exhibit a more liberal
spirit than has prevailed among them
for some time past. At present there are
few orders On land and the demand is
chiefly of a speculative character.
