CoTToN.--Cottun has rcce6'tly
made small advance, and reached
fourteen cents last week in town.
But a reaction took place, and the
market declined on Saturday, half
oeut. We are at loss to explain
the fall. It may hav8 been oadsed
by too much cotton being rushed
into market. 1t is tho Impression in
Charlotte that cotton will decline two
DENTS before Christmas. Other buy.
ersY believe otherwise. We are not
sufficiently posted in tho ssways that
are dark' of the Bulls and Bears to
give. any advice upon the question of
selling cotton. The crpp Of this year
is estimated at 100000 bales. With
this basis the farmers may calculate
the chances Of rise iii tho sipi sting:
Cotton will scarcely 60 as low again
asit was two weeks ago.

An Extraordinary 4uicS Pussages

The steamship Andean Of the Liver

leans line Of steamers. which crossed the
bar on the tenth instant. arrived out yes.
terday evening, making the passage in the
unusual short time of sixteen days.
This We believe to be the quickest pas
sage on record, and in order to accomplish
it she mEst have made some fine days
runs, in fact, little grass or few barnacles
had time to grow on her keel; for, in tigur-
ing .he difference of time which gives her
few hours less than sixteen days, we find
that the distance of 1893 miles was made
In 3Si hours showing an average speed of
twelve and one half miles per hour. Such
passage can not fail to be satisfactory to all
concerned. ard must greatly add to the
popularity of this newly established line.
The Jamaican, of the same line. now in
port and loading for Liverpool made her
last passage from Baltimore to Liverpool
il thirteen days, which is no common
run, and as she leaves on Saturday, AID at
season when westerly winds prevail, there
is nc reason why she should not do as well
or better than the Andean. SO she has
little more power.

Closed for Thanks9iving.
The departments closed at noon to-day
and will remain closed tomorrow.
Department of Agriculture.
The November statistical report of the
Department of Agriculture, now in. press,
makes d showing for the corn product quite
as unfavoIable as that which forecasted the
short crop of 1869 The preliminary report
OF the aggregate quantity in that year in
dicated total OF S74.000.000 bushels: this
was less than the estimate for the large
crop of 1870, and the present returns point
to product of about S5S, 900 600 bushels
The estimate of last years crop of Hi
nois was 2l7 ,000,000 The estimate for the
present crop is l32. 900 600. Only six States
show crops equal to last year, viz: Virginia,
Georgia. Florida, West Virginia. Oregon
and Rhode Islands The percentage of the
deficiency in the principal corn growing
sections in comparison with the total pro-
duct of last year is as follows:
Kentucy, per cent; Ohio, 10 per cent;
Indiana, 2e per cent; Illinois, 80 per cent;
Iowa, 70 per cent; Missouri. - per cent;
Kansas 81 per cent.
The deficiency for New York is = per
cent, and for Pennsylvania, l6 per cens
In most of the Southern States the crops
are smaller than those of last year
A direct comparison is made between the
total product of grain, in each county, IN
1872 and 1873 having for it's elements both
the comparative yield and extent Of area.
The cotton reports Of November, unlike
those oS the comparative condition earlier
in the season, make exact estimates os the
