Cotton has exhibited a sudden
and marked tendency upwards.
Gold has followed, though not in
exactly the same ratio. Had this
occurred several months since, it
would, to somesxtent, have relieved
the pressure that has throttled the
energies of our people, and made
them so little hopeful OF The future.
AS it is, only the few will be bepe-
fitted by this unexpected advance
those who were able TO RESERVE the
bulk Of their crop will reap the
benefit of higher prices, and, as Il
general thing, they are not the mel
to distribute money, or infuse life
Ambhg tho masses, 30 the situation
will be followed by no unusual indi
cations of prosperity, but rather by
regrets among most of our planters
that they were not able to retain
at least, part OF their crops for sucl
a contingency,
