THE COTTON CROP.

THE COTTON CROP.
Liverpool financial authority says the preva.
1ent opinion now is that the next American cotton
crop will be from 10 to Is per cent less than the
last; in some quarters indeed, a reduction OF 20
per cent is anticipated There is a general indis-
position. however, to adopt and act upon any ma
teria falling on in the yield until the news re.
Gently received from private has been con-
armed by the official report or the Agricultural
Bureau. II this report should show reduction OF
fully 10 per cent IN the land cultivated we may an
rcipate o sharp upward movement In prices, be.
cause in addition to the curtailed area it is well
known that the crop is very backward and that
the yield per acre will be much less this season
than last, owing to the diminished Of Jertili-
2ers. II is not expected however, that the I'D.
vance win be anything SO serious as was witnessed
In 1872 In which season prices ran up from
3-ed In April to cd. in June and II I'd in the fol-
lowing spring.

M'CULLOCH'S IMMENSE DISPLAY
OF CHRISTMAS AND NEW
YEAR GOODS.
Presents, Games, Toys and DecOrar
tiOns by the ThOusand--UEparalled
Display in this City.

/ If ever town was favored with q.
leviathan aud comprehensive display of
everything necessary to produce "a Mer--
~ Christmas and happy New Year"
verify, this year, that distinction has
fallen on Fremont, and In this particular.
our neighbor, Mr.. ATcCU11ooH, Whose
enterprise is equally appreciated as pop
ularE has so successfully catered for all
ages and each sex that we are becoming
induced to fancy that the multiplicity of
his Diversified stock, and the visits he is
receiving from an appreciative public
will soon be brought into close eompe6-
tion-large numbers Of visitors from
towns even far beyond the pale of this
county having contributed theirsu1prise /.
and admiration at the love display.
Words would utterly fail us in an at
tempt to enumerate or to worthily com
ment OD-the magnificent appearance of
his store, which is strikingly apparent,
and much to be regretted, is really not
half large enough to admit of anythinc,
near the full stock appearing to public
gaze. From costly presents-in their
elegance and utility ample to inspire the
tenderest. sentiment of even the most
unsuscepdble Of gratitude and apprecia-
tion-to the trifing recognition sought
after by the most penmious miser-
who regards his cents as the veriest
lShylock-everyoneIs desires viii here
be found provided for. In fact, If every
child within half dozen counties around
is not this year giaddened with some
surprise, It will be useless to microscope
that urchin's tear to detectthe reflection
of an NJ for Nc or C for CuIloch. There
are games and toys Of every size, make
and price-the attractivences of which
excels the showing Of any previous year.
Nor is Mr.. McCU11ooH likely to have
many left ON his hands. He is setting
at defiance the competition of all out
siders and selling On the very lowest
profits, resolved none shall look to any
town for bargains not TO be met with in,
their own. Those who fail to witness
this brilliant and immense show VIII
have much to regret, and the fact of it's
attractiveness is rapidly diminishing the
stock.
II happy hours snd smiiing faces
A cheerful wife and child's good graces-
You faia woEld court by deeds sublime,
Make choice Of presents in good tlme
A chance Ike this ne'er came before,
So early visit McCULLocH's store.
