COTTON RECEIPTS.
TIE COTTON CROP OCTOBER REPORT.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. IS, 1877

WASHINGTON, u. u, Oct. III, l672
The following Is a synopsis Of the report of the
Statistician of the Department OF Agriculture upon
the condition of the cotton crop In October
The cotton prospect has undergone no serious
changes since the September report. The weather
lent storms are reported and drought has not pre-
vailed, the rainfall In nearly all the cotton States
not exceeding two inches In September Florida
alone reporting FULLY four inches and Tennessee
three Tho devastatlons OF the caterpillar have ex-
tended further North, even into North Carolina,
and have involved the top crop partially and In
many cases wholly. The influence Of drought
cumulative In Its effects, ana exhausted vitality
Is more apparent than In September; yet there
are districts which report exemption from this
The enect OF fertilizers In advancing the crops in
the Atlantic States and the combined effects of
worms and drought In shortening the season OF
growth will greatly hasten the close of picking.
In some places the crop Is already gathered aud
In manv others the fields will be cleared early in
November. The general average OF condition Is
reduced from 81 In the first week of September to
81 In October
In October OF last year the average was 70,
which was material reduction from that OF the
previous month. It will be seen that the condition
is still placed higher than In last years report for
October while the area, according to our June re-
turns, was thirteen per cent greater The State
ages are as foll0ws:-virginia, 81; North Carolina
90; South Carolina, SO; Florida, IS; Georgia, So;
So; Arkansas 75 Tennessee 90. The local disparity
existing In the condition OF cotton is, perhaps,
more marked than usual or the two counties In
Alabama producing most largely-both together
Montgomery reports 100 and Dallas so. In Georgia,
Dawson the Il st in amount OF production, returns
100, while Sumter and Lee-bOth large producers
Ties report high condition Washington, 90; Madi-
son, Go; Warren, 65; Kinds, 90; while N0xubee and
Claiborne return 100.

a@rs THE DRY GOODS IMPORTS
The total imports OF foreign dry goods at this
port for the week ending October II, 1872. were
$l,1306l0. The amount marketed was s., 1888 5S3.
nofe8 tpt MONEY EASY.
The continued large dealings in the stock mar
ket caused an active inquiry for money early in Jhe
day, and the first transactions were at 6a Z pei
cent. But the supply was more than enough to &c
around at these rates, and, in the competition to
secure employment for balances, money loaned al
as low as per cent before the close OF banking
hours. Prime paper was quoted a II per cent dis
count.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE
was weak and lower for actual business. which In
sterling was confined to sixty-day bills, owing to
the dtsproportionate price of sight drafts. The
leading drawers kept their desk rates at the last
stated quotations. but prime sxty-day sterling sold
OF losk and was even heavy at that rate. Prime
sight sterling bills were accessible at 11O4 n. The
London market was again lower for consols, but
steady for dve-twenties and higher for ten-iortes
and Eries.
GOLD LowER-113n A 1923.
The gold market was weak, in sympathy with the
easier tone Of the foreign exchanges, and also In
consequence Of rumors that the Treasury would
begin next Monday to prepay, without rebate, the
November coin interest on the public debt. These
matters seemed to have influence with the clique
operators, who were selling as freely as possible
without precipitating too sudden decline. The
course Of the market is shown in the following

Two BoYs DRowEED.-Jamss Cameron,
son Of Mr.. John Cameron, OF Davenport
aud John Gormlsy, of the same city, we're
drowned yesterday (23rd) at 10 o'clock A.
NJ. Th3 lads went in bathing from HALLS
Island, a short distance below this city, in
company with several other BOYS. They
chose the river side of the Island instead of
the shore, and we're carried away by the
force ofthe current, and drawn under by the
whirling eddiss. A boy named Suffer
carried their clothes to their respective
homes, which was the Grst information to
the parents of their loss. Both lads we're
twelve years Of age and are spoken of as
being very intelligent and promising youths.
The body of James Cameron vas found
and raised at half past five in the afternoon.
The body Of John Gormley had not been
recovered at q late hour last night.
These sad occurrences have been very
numerous the present season, and every in
stance should act as a warning to parents
and guardians to keep the children under
their care away from the treRcherous river,
which has already cut off so many young
and promising lives.
