the information gathered by it Of the. cotton
crop for the month Of June:
To tbe President aud Board Of Directors Of the
New Orleans Cotton Exchange.
GENTLEMES-We beg leave to submit,
without comment the following report OF
the growing crop of cotton, made up by us
from replies to our interrogatOries during
the month Of June:
MISSISSIPPI.
We have numerous letters from this State
In few counties planters complain Of I'm.
favorable weather since the fifteenth OF
NAV. and some imperfect stands, but nearly
all our correspondents report the former az
much more favorable than last year, aud
the latter az being very fine Taking the
average Of estimates, we lind that about
fortyiive per cent Of the crop, owing to
long continued dry weather, did not come
UP until after the twentieth OF May: Inc
present condition of crops is generally ex-
cellenr, and with favorable and late tali
the yield is expected TO be "a full average
LOUISIANA.
The weather. according to all Of our cor
respondents. has been, since the fifteenth OF
Nav. very favorable, and much more so
when compared with last year. Fully one
third Of the crop is reported not TO have
come up until after the twentieth Of May.
Stands are said to be generally good, though
IN some Of the parishes on the Mississippi
river. where q considerable portion came up
late, this is said to be not in very good
condition With good seasons and late fall
an average yield is looked for Worms
have appeared in small numDersip the par
ish Of Natebitoches, and is usual on their
first appearance, have done no damage.
TEXAS.
Replies TO our interrogatories from this
State. date from fifteenth TO tWenty-eighth
of june. Weather has been, since fifteenth.
of MAY, very favorable to the growth OF
the crop, and much more favorable IN com 5IIi
parisOn with same period last year, Inc
percentage Of late planting in this State IS
very small say five per cent, and cotton
was generally up in time. Stands and
present conditions are said to be very fine,
and the prospect IL, with an average fail,
that a full average crop will be gathered.
While with o late fall and favorable sea-
son appearances indicate that a very large
crop win be made. Worms are reported to
us IN the counties Of Upshur, Liberty and
Jefferson but no injury TO the crop has as
yet been done by them.
ARKANsAs.
In'this State the weather has been, since
fifteenth May very wet and unfavOrable,
heavy washing rains having fallen nearly
throughout the entire State, making the
season this much less favorable for the
growth of the Young plant, than last year..
The stands and condition are represented
as "nOt very promising the plant being
s'small, backw and in the grass" the
wet weather having prevented the proper
working Of the same. We have reported as
planted late thirty-hye per cent, aud about
ar aa mot haWinu" TO a
stand before tenth May Our cOrrespOn-
dents SOY that even with an average fall,
less than an average crop must be made,
willie with favorable seasons and late fall
no more than an average can be obtained.
TENNESSEE.
From this State our correspondence dates
from eighth to twenty-first june, and the
large majority report the weather since hi
teenth May as favorable, and as more
favorable to the growing crop than same
period last year; with very good stands
and generally in good condition. About
fifteen per cent o the cotton was planted
late, and about twenty per cent was late IN
scoming to a stand, which is reported to have
been perfected by fifteenth May. Prospects
are promising In this State for a full yield
with an average fall and seasons, and for
large yield with favorable fall and good
seasons.
In this State, according to average OF
estimates sent us by over forty correspond
ents, there was about thirty per cent OF the
crop planted, which did not come mp until
after the twentieth of May. In twelve
counties the late planting is reported not
to have come to q stand before the FIRST OF
june although the weather since the
fifteenth Of May is very generally reported
TO us as having been very favorable and
reasonable, and as much more favorable
when compared with the same date last
year. With an average fall our CORE
spOndents look for full crop, while they
say, SHOULD the season be favorable and
the fall late, large crop may be expected
NORTH CAROLINA.
Our reports from this State date from
the seventeenth TO twentieth June; the
weather since the fifteenth May is repre-
sented as having been generally favorable,
though less favorable when compared with
same date last year. Stands and cOnd1-
tons are generally reported as good, though
in many parts of the State as small and
back ward; about One-third of the crop was
planted late, and q small increase over this,
say forty per cent, was late in coming up,
which, on an average, came to a stand on
or about the fifteenth Of May. With IA
vorable fall a full yield is expected.
SOUTH CAROLINA
Our letters from this State are not very
numerous, and date from the seventeenth
to the twenty-sixth of June. The weather
has been dry, but on the whole more fa-
yorable than last year, since the fifteenth
Of May. 0ne-half of the crop in this State
was planted late and did not come up until
the fifteenth Of May. Stands and condition
are said to be, on the whole, good, though
in some places small but clean and healthy,
and our correspondents are led to believe
that with an average fall an average crop
will be made, aud that late fall with good
seasons will give this State a full,yeld,
GEORGIA.
BY the letters of our numerous CORE
spondents in this State, the weather since
the fifteenth Of May is represented as hav-
ing been generally dry aud hot, and to have
been much more favorable to the crop than
at the same period last year. They report
as planted late in this State one-quarter Of
the crop, and onethird as having come up
late, say from the twentieth to the twenty
fifth of May, and in some few counties
stands from the late planting were not Sc
cured until after the FIRST Of June. The re-
ports as to stands and the present condition
of the crops vary, but, on the whole, are
oonsi Tered good, and with an average fall a
fair yield may be anticipated while with
