Cotton Crop Aspects.

THE CHANCES FOR THE PLANTERS AND
FOR THE SPECULATORS.
The New Orleans Picayune says: OF late
the Southern cotton markets have broken down,
and quotations have been reduced at a rapid
rate. At this season OF the year. especially
with quarantine difficulties impending or act
ually existing, holders exposed to local
Inconvenience, and the business is of such a
character as to scarcely afford basis for quo
tations the offering being mainly Of small lots
and sales meagre. New crop cotton has made
its appearance in Texas III larger proportions
than was expected. This was late crop and
with the pinch OF supplies in Europe, the po-
sition depended upon the extent of receipts at
Southern seaboard markets during the early
months. European spinners would be in a
very awkward predicament in October and
November were the American crop movement
10 the seaboard retarded from any cause what
ever on account of the small stock they have
left To work on. The disastrous drought which
has occurred in Texas forcing the plant to pre-
mature development and furnishing early cot
ton for the market, though greatly reducing
the ultimate yield, which must tell seriously
ON the final crop outturn in a State producing
so large a percentage OF the aggregate growth
of American cotton, has been taken advantage
of by the bears to depress the market Tues
days receipts of ASP bales of new crop at
Galveston set the New York sharpers to cal
culating, and p, 600 was figured as the amount
OF new cotton that port would furnish during
the month OF August. The subsequent DAVIS
small receipts caused rally, and yesterdays
figures relapse.
As it is a question of bales" and the
spectators fear the actual staple though in
imagination they handle so many millions of
it, the prospect of early cotton has caused de
moralization However, are far from
thinking that planters are to be preiudiced by
the turn the market has taken. Ii we start the
year with average rates the result will be more
satisfactory to producers Last year the bulk
of our crop was sold at or below the cost of
production. Spectators received the benefit
of the rise little later on, and manufacturers
were helped over a very trying period. This
season We are likely to have different order
OF things. The worlds surplus supply of cot
ton, accumulated during the palmy days of
Indian and Brazilian production has been
swept away, and we shall start the new year
with scanty stocks in Europe, and demand
sufficient to absorb larger American crop
than we are likely to furnish. From the plant
ing season TO the present time the American
crop has Jared worse than last season
The small increase in acreage has been
far more than counterbalanced by the less
favorable condition. and as we enter upon the
critical period, that of picking, the conditions
are again changing for the worse in COMPARE
son with last year. The old proverb, " A dry
season for good cotton CROP" like all other
proverbs, is only half truth. A dry spring
is too apt to be followed by a wet autumn.

In view OF the late ravages by grasshOppers

Reports from the hop gardens of England
continue bad, and it is feared the crop will be
almost a failure. From the continent the
reports are also unfayorable
1t is bad practice to pillow up pastures for re-
seeding. The older the pasture, as rule, the
better the grass. If a pasture fails top dress
it with well decomposed manure.
About 1000 head of cattle were lately sold
in California for Sl3 per head all around.

Table Salt a Remedy for "Charbon.' -

AUGUST 30, 1879.
EDITORS CLARION I notice the following
item in the weekly PicayUne OF recent date /;
"A disease called charbon is killing horses
and mules up the Yazoo river by the whole
sale. One planter lost thirteen mules last
Saturday and had five OF six more sick ones
Sunday morning" As the Pieayune gives no
remedy for the disease, / viii give you one, for
for the benefit Of your readers, that have
seen practiced successfully in a great many
cases. This disease many years ago, was very
common in southern Louisiana and Texas. 1t
makes it, appearance under the belly OF the
animal, it then extends 10 the chest and soon
produces death. Taken at the start, 1t Is
cured by the following simple remedy. Throw
the animal, turn it on its back then with a
sharp knife cut through the skin "tore and
aft" Of the animal over the swelling from one
end OF it to the other apply common table
salt; rub it well in by stout man. One
application almost invariably effected cure. /

disease when he first moved to Texas from
Mississippi but never one after he adopted

A DINNER AND A KISS,

al have brought your dinner, father,
The blacksmith's daughter said,
As she took from her arms Kettle
And lifted its shining lid.
There's not any pie or pudding,
So / viii give You this,
And upon his toil-wOrn forehead
She left a childish kiss.
The blacksmith tore of his apron
And dined in happy mood,
Wondering much at the SAVIOR
Hid in his humble food,
While all about were visions
Full Of pfohetic bliss;
But he never thought Of the magic
In this little daughters kiss.
While she with her kettle swinging
Merrily trudged away,
Stopping at sight of q squirrel,
Catching some wild birds Law.
And thought how many a shadow
OF life and fate we should miss,
ii always our frugal dinners
Were seasoned with kiss.
