Telegraphic advices, dated December LIST
bring the report down to that time. They
are mostly from those localities where there
was reported to be still an opportunity fo'
cotton to make at the time of the mail re
ports, November 2lst. They state, without
exception, that the late frosts have stopped
all further growth, and that there is bu

In st. Louis the receipts of cotton since

ceiyed 1874 ,258 bales, and shipped 122,59'
bales. The stock on hand in that city or
the first of the month was more than double

Orleans, i'll cents, the Waco buyers, who

cumstances, IL is not very satisfactory (
cotton buyers but. by close management,
they have so far bought and
shipped all the cotton offered at nc
