The receipts OF cotton at this port since
tie Ist OF September have been considera-
" over 5000 baies-being an excess Of
Yearly $500 Daies over the receipts for the
corresponding period Of last year. The
Gather has been all the farmers could de-
re for picking, aud the cotton is said TO be
cleaner this year than has been known for

t. stain or dirty the staple. The crop, too,
il larger in this section than il was last
year.
