portion Of the race has learned to appreciate

board the steamer Scotia for voyage across
the Atlantic. The time consumed in making
the passage is occupied by conversations and
experiments explanatory of the fundamental
principles of modern philosophy and cannot
fail TO prove great help to young persons in

The Cron of 1s7l.,7a

The very low rates obtained for the
cotton crop OF last year, which was Gel
tlvated under heavy expense, rendered
II necessary that the present one should
be made. at low figures. For this pur-
pose, commercial fertilizers were only pur
chased Oh tot the extent of about one-fourth
Inc area IN cotton was lessened over .
large surface to the amount of one-sixth
q tull grain crop was planted, and great
economy practiced in all expenditures.
The early part of the planting season was
very unsatisfactory over great part Of
the Southwest, heavy and continued rains
taking place, preventing the proper work
ing OF the fields, causing aluxuriant growth
OF grass, and rendering it necessary to
abandon parts of the crop. In the more
northerly portions of the cotton belt, the
weather, early in the season, acted more
tavorably, and the prospect for a full aver
age yield In proportion to the surface plant
ed was good but in June and July Sc
we're drought in Carolina damaged both
corn and cotton. Later in the season the
complaints were more general, with reports
OF worms in the Gulf States, with rust in
the Atlantic section, indicating diminish.
ed Crop The causes tending to reduce the
crop are more limited surface planted,
bad weather early in the year in the most
prolific portions of the South, with
drought in June and July in Carolina, 6
very limited use of fertilizers, and gen
erally an inferior condition of the plant
without reports of worms, rust, dc. The
deduction to be made for these causes !:

of 100000 to 2,250,000 bales, the lates

The MGood Time" Coming

The - GOou Time" coming.
The following hopeful and encouraging
prediction of good business year, COM
mencing this fall, is from the n. Y. FL
nancial Chronicle, which ought to he re-
garded as respectable authority. The
promise of defeat of specializing rings,
and nearer approximation to the old
standard of "supply and demand" in
the regulation of prices, is particularly
cheering, as. that is a preliminary to the
securing of the just rights of the pro-
ducer and the laboring man. The Chroni
Gle says: "There is every probability
that the year to come will be nearly the
reverse Of that now almost passed. The
speculator may not be able to make so
much money, yet he will not be in dam
ger of losing so much; while the COM
mission house, practicing ordinary pru-
dence, may reckon upon having a year
of comparative safety before it. In cot
ton, the new relations of supply to de-
mand are much better understood now
than one year ago, and variations from
the estimated supply are not likely to
produce the great fluctuations which
have been witnessed in the past year.
The excessive stocks of breadstuffs which
were in store one year ago, have been
partially disposed of and prices are now
at that happy medium which is assurance
of safety. Provisions of all kinds have
declined to prices which are lower than
those which have been current in many
years; and although the demand is large,
the prospective supply is so large that
speculation for a rise is discouraged"

Cotton.

Planters, cotton factors and business
men generally look to the press, (says
the Augusta Constituttonalist,) for infor-
nation in regard to the growing crop,
the demands of spinners and the proba-
BILE future price Of tie staple. While
exercising dill ;nce in collating and
publishing all available information in
regard to this important interest. we
have always reluctance in rendering
advice as to holding or selling. Two
years ago we did advise our planters to
make quick sales, and subsequent events
proved our views to be right. The mar
ket declined rapidly and persistently
from about 90 cents to II cents.
Now, with all the statistics before us
rs 70 stock on hand, weekly consump-
ton and probable amount of the present
crop, we feel confident that if planters
do not rush to market, prices will adj
vance instead of declining. The fact
that at this time of the year, when new
cotton is being marketed, Liverpool
quotations have been steadily, although
slowly, advancing, is very significant.
Unless Il foreign war should occur this
fall on the Eastern question, which is
very improbable, present prices must
be firmly sustained. We endorse the
views of our correspondent, Willough-
by" expressed in his letter last week,
that cotton will soon command ten pence
in Liverpool.
