vious year, but taking it all In all, was quite
satisfactory when the manner in which the
| crop su ffered in the other two States is taken
into consideration. The Carolina crop was
very small, and almost destroyed by the cat
erpillar and October s'orms, while Florida
was short from the self-same causes. Geor-
ga's yield, Notwithstanding the storms,
ETC., exceeded that of the other
States, which brought up the 1gures.
Savannah received the bulk OF
the Florida and Georgia crop, while Charles
ton could hardly be called market as most
of their orders for this kind OF cotton were
filed here. The price was low throughout
the season, in fact lower than ever known
before, but this was owing ms much to the
dirty condition of the crop as to any other
cause. The demand was great, which con-
tlnued clear up to Dec. ], and the
takings of exporters absorbed receipts up
to that time, After that date stocks began to
hll up until at last the largest stock ever held
at any time duriug one season mad accumu-
lated, and sea islands became almost drug
on The MAJ ket. The season, as a whole, was
not rs profitable TO the producers as Others
have been, though the Georgia planters Jared
the best. The season closed with quite
large stock on hand. which Is IN ),tly of an in
