stained cotton nales were sold here, while this
season hundred and fifty w0uld probably
cover the entire sales. The bop-erop was just
shout to open when the October frost came,
and the stalks now carry ct their tops guam
titles OF bolls, partially cracked open and hard
as rocks. We saw, yesterday, as an evidence
of the fact, the tops Of two stalks, taken from
field near the city, and they were a good
average OF the cotton now standing In the
field. There were four or five bolls on each,
three-fourths matured. The cotton In these
bolls was totally decGyed. We have reports
from large cotton planters In the best cotton
section in the State, TO the effect that their
crop has been reduced fully onefourrh by the
loss of the top yield. The loss to the total
crop by the destruction OF this character OF
cotton is estimated by practical farmers to be
equal to from $4,000 to 200, 900 bales which Lis
a very serious loss TO the South.
It is quite clear that France does not under

Corn EEcknn0e.

Readers of the GLOBE will remember the
meeting of the corn exchange committee Of
thirty five at the council chamber this even.
ing at 1880 o'clock. There is not much
movement in the corn market just at this
time, which gives the members of the ex
change an opportunity to look into matters
and assist in the very laudatle effort of the
board Of trade in the reduction of taxation.
The reports of all the committees appoint
ed will be in order this evening, but probably
all will not be ready, and if they should be,
it would not b. possible to submit t,em. It
is more than probable that the committee
will not try to consider this evening more
than two reports-those of the committee
on taxation and the committee on schools
and education. These will be very interest
ing, however, and will be worth hearing and
discussino.
