The Cotton Supply.
From the New York World.1

From the New York World
Each week that passes no,,.
lends additional interest to 4.
statistics of our visible supple -
cotton, and to the movements ~
stock on hand. From Septemla,
1874, to May l, 1875, the rece;nt.
at the ports amounted to ). 293 sss
bales. For the same period last
year the receipts at the no,,.
amounted to 3,545, 4s4 bales, which
shows decrease in receipts of
this years crop to date Of 25,.e5,
bales. VICE
Up to May | we shipped Of this
years crop 2,227, G65 bales to for.
eign ports, while for the same No.
Rod last year we shipped 2, 43O.45e
bales which shows u decrease in
this years shipments Of 2O2. 7al
bales.
The stock on hand in the United
States May l, 1875, was sos. 755
bales, and at the same date la.t
year, 466,7S4 bales, which shows
an increase for May, !, 1876, Of
41,971 bales,
The most noticeable fact con.
tanned in these statistics is that Wa
have thus far exported 100000
bales OF cotton less than during
the corresponding period of last
year; for. should demand for
American cotton be created in
England equal to that of last year.
the American market would ba
suddenly called upon to make good
the deficiency Of 2OO,OOO bales Of
cotton from the not very large re-
serve now on hand. BY reference
to the statement above presented
OF the stock on hand, it will he
seen that such a contingency would
only leave us a stock of 3O5.974
bales from which to supply the
demands of American mills for
the next four months and the or.
binary demand for exports during
the interval before the new crop
begins to come into the market.
Our cotton supply thus reduced
would DO wholly inadequate to
meet the. ordinary demands of
trade. and we may be called upon
to supply nearly twice as much
cotton as we have on hand. tits
clear that much Of our reserve,
cotton that has usually been kept
to meet contingencies is now find
ing its way into the hands of con-.
suners. For aught that may be
said to'the contrary the crop which
will make its FIRST appearance in
the market next September may
be IA prolific one in defiance Of the
estimates of prudent calculators.
But the usual complaints Of back.
ward crops, of damage by frost,
etc., are not wanting this year.
and the unusually backward
spring of this latitude gives NO
little slgnigcance to these com.
plants. The cotton crop has it's,
doubtful stages to pass through:
and even as the Newborn infant
has in store its vicissitudes Of
teething, measles, Group and the
thousand ills, more familiar to
nurses than to economists. that
infant flesh is heir to, SO has. the
Unexplained cotton crop it's equal
" critical vicissitudes offrost and
flood, drought, worms and the
dropping Of hollis, with the chances
OF a bad picking season thrown in.
all Of which. must be successfully
passed before full crop can be.
secured. OF these things and

D'Eon dressed as a man. She would have
fought duels. She was a captain of dra-
goons. Resided here as an ambassador.
To all outward appearance, therefore, the
defendant had the best of the wager. On
the part of the plaintiff there was consider
able difficulty. Suppose him to have been
right yet the proof was not easy. It was
not in the power of any one to compel D.
known. the proof still rested on the plain
tiff 1t was thrown out that he was sure
of the fact at the time he laid the wager.
The contrary had appeared. He had nc
proofs 10 his power when the contract was
made. The court of France was not ap-
prised of the fact. 1t regarded D'Eon as
a man." The jury gave for plaintiff 9702.
On the 18th Of the same month the che
Waller left England, declaring in the most
solemn manner that she had no interest
whatever in the policies opened respecting
her sex, and that ''she left dear England
with grief, where she thought to have
found repose and liberty" The case was
subsequently argued before Lord Mans
field on behalf of the defendant, and the
defendant pleading under the terms of a
recent act of parliament payment was not
binding on him in such case, this was
admitted and the bets were lost. D'Eon
arrived at Versailles in l777 in the uniform
OF the Dragons, but to satisfy the curiosity
of the queen assumed presently the dress
of woman.
In 1884 he returned again to London,
where the French revolution of 1889 found
him.. 1t appears by the records of the
national assembly in May, 1892, that he
petitioned the assembly, as Madame D.
Eon, to be allowed to serve in the army
Madame stated that though she hac
worn the dress of woman for fifteen
yeas, she was DESTROYS of doffing cap and
petticoats for helmet and sabre" The
petition was received with great applause
but no other result, and as the Republican
authorities had taken away pension grant
ed him by Louis XIV, he returned to Eng
land and gave lessons in fencing, an accom-
plishment in which he was admirably pro
ticient. The previous year he had advert

assumption of female attire seems to have
arisen at first out of an exigency, and wa
probably continued for purposes of vari
