AT the Grange agency Of Temple y. ooons
%. our interview was with MIR. j. Pinckney
smith, His reports we're that the crop was very |
promising. The agency had correspondents In
Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana and Tennessee.
From the Attakapas. st. Landry, Avoyelles and
Natchitoches big crop was reported, and ~ yet
they had not received single order for Paris

ihough they were going TO DO big business this
season. ...
MIR. VIM. II. Uhsffs informed us that the Sc
nior member Of his firm was In the upper river
country looking al the crops himself The infor-
nation received by the Arm indicated that there
had been too much rain along the river In Bolivar
county, Mise, and along the Red river be-

asssoN MHrLnEuR, ESQ,
one Of our leading cotton bry ,kers, Hpeaks very
much like naany OF our cotto faatore regarding
the speculative character uf estimates Of the
crop. However, the prosp cots are very fair aud
far better than lsst yesr. the crop not having
been iuterfered with by foundations. The cater
uiIlar fright HAD vanisbc1. he said but there was
no telling what the next webbing Of the worm
might bring. He had no bad news, except from
Southwestern Texas but anticipated no bad effect
ON the general crop therefrona.
TT AtnEy 800.
We received from this firm, through ofe OF lite
members. Mr. Alex. T. Janin, some interesting
information regarding the cotton interest This
arm received lie frst bale Of the new crop q day
or Two ago from Messrs. n. T. Eggles'on Il Co.,
Of vicksburg. The cotton IL well ginned, classes
"a Good Middling, and 10 pronounced the best
bale that has yet been received Ut this port. He
has Just received advice Of the shipment OF
twenty-three bales from HelenR, Ark,
brought 10 that place from the interior
on the Mobile and Northwestern Railroad. = new
railroad--this being che fret shipment over the
line. This railroad extends from Dowdis Land
ing, opposite Helene, fifteen miles TO Shuifords-
Vile, and will, IL IL expected, bring fifteen thous-
and bales TO this market, which heretofore went
10 Memphis, and establish return trade esti-
mated Il from forr 70 ave hundred thousand
dollars year. In that section Of the cotton
region he has advioes from several corre-
spondents. Eome to the effect that st least y
good top and middle crop will be made.
Others say that Che crop promises TO be far bet
Tor than IL did month ago. This last iuforma.
zion comes froe shipper OF four thousand bales.
Around vickaburg 10 far they are ahead, and II
the present be nm index OF the future the crop
will be good. A reliable correspondent, who has
Advices from all parts Of the Yasoo districts,
writes that the prospects have never been go
promising. From Ssrtatia advices are that the
crop never has been better before. Another
correspondent from the Vicksburg district,
speaks hopefully OF an average crop and says
that good deal OF the cotton that has been
gathered isvery good. From Iseaquena the re-
ports kre that the cotton ie growing TO fast, no
worms, however. had made their appearance there
and the crop was better than last year. From
the Black river the crops are reported az being
better than they have ever been.
Mr.. JAnin's opinion was that In Louisiana, In
particular. the crop was very fine, and now that
wc were cafe from overflow, unless come catas-
trophe occurred, the falling or Of last year In
receipts al this port due chiefly to the failures
In this State, would not happen. All his corres-
pondents, he added, were prepared with worm
poison to battle with the common enemy.
