yerv few localities III Texas ano
Arkansas, and we learn from the
Texas papers that good rains have
fallen within the past week, winch
puts the crop in very fouiishiue
condition. The acreage is, accord
| ing to the Cotton Exchange and
| Agricultural Bureau reports tor
June, about 2 IL per cent greater
than last wear, Indicative OF Is crop
for next year, with Il continuance
of favorable weather, of $500, 600
bales.
Prices will probably remain
about 12e in New York until the
first of September, owing to the
reduced stock, but an average sea-
son will no doubt enable planters
to put 100000 bales OF new cotton
in market in the month of Septem-
Der, which would cause the mar
ket to decline to about III to III ],
at which price spinners would be
freely and planters would be well
paid for their labor. Well inform
ed operators do not believe there
will be famine before the new
crop commences to move, as
stocks in this country are some
larger than last season, while spin
ners are understood to carry
almost sufficient to run their mills
until September.
No doubt bat that the hand to
mouth policy will be pursued.
Every year the facilities for NOV
ing the crop rapidly increase.
There are more laborers more and
better gins aud presses; transpor-
tation facilities have increased
and the planters naturally desile
to avail themselves of the premi-
um which exists on September
prices. We therefore expect an
early movement and one of the
most prosperous seasons New
Orleans has ever seen.

Reputation Defeated.

Our State constitutional cenven
tiOn has at last succeeded in avoid
ing the seriously threatened repu
diation of a large portion OF the
State debt. and at the same timt
has given immense relief to ollI
0ver-taxed people by reducing the
annual interest thereon from seven
per cent ethe present rate) to three
per cent for fifteen years, and f0ul
per cent thereafter. The principal
ofthe debt, as recognizedrunder the
existing funding act (which requires
the Funding Board to issue consoli-
dated bonds for old bonds and war
rants at the rate of sixty cents on
the dollar, and prohibits the Board
from funding any debt of doubtful
legality until so ordered by a .judg-
ment of,our Supreme Court is to
be paid within thirty years, and
can easily be paid long before under
the beneficial operation of our new
constitution, with anything like an
honest administration OF the State
government.
The convention viii now have no
difficulty in soon completing it's la
bors, and we are satisfied those la
bors will prove of lasting benefit to
our State.
Justice to that large and respect
able membership of the conventior,
always in a majority up to this
week, who favored reduction of
the principal Of the State debt from
something near twelve millions to
something near three millions, re-
quires the acknowledgement that no.
one could successfully deny that
large portion of the State debt had
IT'S origin in fraud and corruption.
1t was also, however, conceded by
all that it was impossible to define
exactly what portion of the debt
was fraudulent, and therefore it
was better every way to avoid the
reproach and the grave evils of re-
pudiation. We congratulate the
convention and the State on this
honorable and wise settlement of a
question which for a long time
threatened either lasting injury to
the fair fame of Louisiana, or dis
ruption Of the constitutional con
ventiOn.

New Orleans LINES.
The position and prospects oI
the cotton market is one which al.
wavs interests very large number
OF the people of the Snutb. The
receutvtry low prices, and the rapid
aud almost unexpected advance to
high prices and the recent decliue
again, has caused much specula-
ton as to the probable price during
the coming active season.. The
very low prices which begun with
the opening of the season Of 1878
8, was aggravated by the Bunk oI
Glasgow failure, which carried
down many large houses in Mau-
chester having connections In the
East India trade.
Credit was SO much impaired
that prudent operators preferred
to do nothing rather than take
risks. Consequently cotton was
forced on the market, and under
the panie sold at very low prices
for a time actually far below the
cost of production. Financial af-
fairs in Europe gradually became
settled, and speculation took hold
Of cotton and advanced the market
from $50 for miadliug in New
York, to 14.36 for August delivery,
from which price the market has
declined to IL LIE.
The crop ofthe past season was q
large ONE .5,l50,000 bales or more
being the largest ever produced.
Notwithstanding this fact, it has
all Disappeared aud with it about
275, 900 bales OF the visible supply
remaining at the beginning of the
year. India and Egypt each year
make less cotton, leaving the South
almost without a rival. We are,
therefore, assured Of fair prices for
cotton 40 fntnre, and we see every
reason to expect a period of pros
perity for cotton produeers unpar-
alleled in the history Of the coun-
try. Provisions and 10 fact every
thing a planter has to buy are lower
than before the war.
The growing crop il one of the
most promising we have had at
this season of the year for many
years. April, May and Jane have
been comparatively dry months,
afording the plant sufficient cult
walton to clean the fields and give
1t deep root. This condition al
ways brings good crops. Balm
has fallen sufficient to cause the
