"The weather IN the Souyn has been
more favorable durinS the past week
for farming opera. .ons, and good pro-
gress has been made in preparing the
ground TO-. seeding, while in the more
soup.erly portions complaining has
been finished and cotton-planting
commenced. The question OF reduc-
ing the acreage in cotton and increas'
ing that Of other crops is attracting
much attention in thepublc journals
but probably the practical men who
! DO the planting will not be materially
influenced thereby. II is quite likely
that more corn will be planted II
some places and that the natural in
crease in the area of cultivated LAND
will be more generally assigned &c
other crops than cotton, where the!
can be made TO pay better, but while
all planters are in favor OF havinl
their neighbors decrease their acreage
of cotton no one is willing TO TAX
this prescription for home use, and
with q favorable planting season, II !
more li.ely that there will be an IN
crease than a decrease, taking tn
country as a whole"
The Manchester Eng Guardian, il
q recent issue, says "Quietness ha
prevailed throughout the market, an
in no leading department has the bui
mess reached an average amount
Producers of goods are, tort nately
though in very varying degree, prett
we'll supple with orders, andpressur
to sell on their part is not very otte
met with. Otherwise the fresh bus
ness now obtainable would Gel tainl
not be sufficient TO give the cloth maj
ket the appearance OF stability whicl
II undoubtedly possesses. Broad
speaking, IL may be said that tn
strength OF the market rests in tn
extensive business which has been a
ready done for India. BY thi mean
the production for other quarters hl
been and is still being greatly elieveC
and the hope OF the market is TO b
found, il anywhere, in a continuanC
; of the India demand. The dars
side is the extreme sluggishness of III
yarn departments, which continue

rather than good here. II has il
