There was considerable ezoitemeaN
on our streets last Sunday morning as an

ed by some sneak-theif who relieved the
two first-nsmed gentlemen of one purse

The unmiStakable preparations for
the Anglo-Russian war should be eu&-
cient warning to our fartnesa to not pin
their faith to cotton entirely this season.
When those two great powers are engaged
all Europe Is al once concerned, factories
will bs closed and the great cotton marts
will be dead. Instead of Ending ready
sale for your cotton, the demand in Eu-
rope will be for breadstufs and provisions;
and in very few months the cry for corn
and provisions will reach year very doors
II is best 10 look first to ycur corn crops,
and then, where y0u are not otherwise OBJ
ligased, put most Of your cotton lands in
grasses, peas, OF something else fOY your
stock, that you may have o surplus of corn
in case of emergencies.
