The Cotton Cl'OD.

The weather during the past week
has been favorable for the planter, ex-
cept that we have had frequent light
showers, which in places have swel1ed
to heavy rains. The fruit is maturing
rapidly, and planters report but very
little shedding. Estimates are uncer-
tain and greatly at variance, ranging
! all the way from occasional reports of
a full crop down to numerous estimates
of a falling-of of one-third as com.
pared with last year. We have had
! the views of planters who altogether
are cu!tivating probably 10000 acres,
and we place our average at full fifteen
per cent below the average Of last
year at this date. There are no seri-
Gus apprehensions of Il general appear
ance of the caterpillar, though a few
planters here and there report them in
their cotton in large numbers. The
feeling we conclude, among both plan
tiers and merchants, is more hopeful.

Parish Assessment,

The Assessor and three assistants are
busily engaged making the rolls for
complete in time for the meeting OF
the Police Jury, Monday, the 9th prox-
imo. The total valuation of property
has been largely increased. In some
wards, Monroe for example, it has been
nearly doubled. The parish tax has
been fixed at eight mills, subject to a
change at the approaching session Of
the Police Jury.

The river is falling rapidly and now
stands 9 feet 10 inches above low water
mark. 1t is possible that the Wilson
which left New Orleans Wednesday
may reach here but should she not,
tho Little Bob will make connection
with her. The Bob lies at the "Katie"
wharf-boat serenely ssslumbering." The
boys on her say that they like Monroe
the best of all-you see they are sensi-
bic.
The Little Bob made futile attempt
to ascend the D'Arbonne, Monday.
She got as far as tie wreck of the
Oddly, eight miles above the mouth
of the D'Arbonne, when she was COM
pclled to return. She had a full load
for Farmerville, but could not deliver
it, and so she returned and put it right
back where she found it.
The John Wilson will be turned
over to the Opelousas packet company
upon her return to New Orleans. The
Pagan will take the place of the Will
son in the Ouachita, for the present.

Cotton Statistics.

The following will show the move
naents in cotton at this place since Sep
TENDER 1, 1879, up to date:
No. bales weighed by City weigher... 10. 2e5
Bales purchased, not'including brok-
ers, and also bales produced by
merchants (abont 9DO). II, ass
Shipped by warehousemen and mer- r.
chants for others, on boats........ GGS
Not ascertainable: bales shipped by
buyers and others on boats for indi.
vidual account.
Having these figures, the total ship
ments from Monroe could be readily
ascertained but this is one statistic
we have been utterly unable to obtain.
OF the cotton sold here, about one
half, say 5000 bales, came from the
west bank some was purchased on
plantations and not weighed here ::
some was grown by merchants, II. D.
King and J. G. Sanders being the only
two; a considerable number of bales
were bought here by brokers Of plant
ers, of which we can give no account,
but the number will probably reach
1000 bales, since one planter disposed
of his entire crop, $50 bales, in this
way.
From this showing, (meagre though
it is, it was difficult to get,) we con-
clude that the shipments since Sep
tenber l., will foot up, for Monroe,
fully 10000 bales. .-
During the same period, Trenton has
shipped, by rail, 1852. An effort to
get the amount last year by boat from
Trenton proving an abortion, we have
not essayed the task this year.
