/ The Ennis Recorder says Ellis county
produced over 10000 bales Of cotton in 1850.
Last year, Qss) Notwithstanding its being u
bad crop year. it is very evident from
the shipments made at the principal mar
ket points in the county will come up to
the figures Of lsSO, to-wit 10000 bales; for
up to January lSS2, WaXahachie had
shipped nearly 10000, Ennis over 1900,
Ferris fully 800, Palmer 30O-for which the
farmers received fully $50 per bale, which
in the aggregate makes the nice little sum
of 81 500, 900 Tor the one item of their pro-
ducrions. While it is true that larger
acreage was planted last wear, than in 1850,
the aggregate yield was fully, IS much, not
withstanding the drouth, and brought fully
as much cash into the county.
TIE New Orleans Picayune concludes the
cotton crop will exceed the estimates. II
saws the January report Of the National
Cotton Exchange besides revealing the dis
crepancy of 10000 bales in the port re-
ceipts, to which we referred yesterday, con-
tains some other points that are worthy Of
special attention. The multiplication of
routes OF transportation by which the great
staple can be moved out of the cotton belt
renders the compilation of these statistics
a very difficult task The impetus which
has been given 10 the movement by way
of Richmond, City and West Point, Nir-
ginia. j. owing to the consolidation of sew
eral roads in that section under what Is
called the Clyde Syndicate. a splendid
system has been built up that is reaching
out for traffic as far South as Atlanta, Gcor-
gia.
The overland shipments, however, de-
serve attention from q general point OF
view. At the close Of last season we took
occasion TO comment upon the rapid de-
crease in the amount Of cotton taken North
by the railway lines, and the consequent
increased proportion OF the crop handled az
the Southern OutpOrts.
But the position has been reversed this
wear. and we find that Gis 90 bales II this

from the banks Of the Ohio aud Mississippi
