 MEaPHIs, Dec. 19.-The cotton crop re- port for the Memphis district, embracing West Tennessee. North Mississippi, North Arkansas and North Alabama, to be issued tomorrow by Hill, Forbaine $ Co.,, will say: Notwithstanding the unprecedented large re- ceipts to date at this point, all our letters fully confirm the previous estimate that the yield in this district compared with last year will show 8 decrease of 20 per cent. Our correspondents report states that picking has ended nearly save on the bottoms, where about 10 par cent. still remains in the fields and before the holidays will be gathered. This year's crop has been marketed more freely than that of any previous year and the stocks of small towns along the interior as reportedE fully corroborate the estimates heretofore given. It is generally believed that more than three ffths of the cotton raised in the district has been marketed al- ready.

SeaIper tickets are selling to-day at $s8 50 for frst-class to Omaha and at a corresponding reduction to other points.
