Cot'i f.r—For a few days after our
last report of 7th May sales were small,
owing to the financial crisis and large
receipts, and prices were lower than last
quotations. A standing depression in
prices was kept off by large Bales for
North America on the 15th and better
reports from Europe. Our market closes

The panic caused by bank suspensions
has not made any material change in our

to have influenced them.
We have already published the crop

Cotton Exchanges, and have now re-

Norfolk and Savannah Exchanges.

New Orleans, June 25, 1875
To the President and Directors of the NJw
Orie&ns Cotton Exchange:
Clentlemen—Your Committee on Infor-
mation and Statistics beg leave to submit
the following report for June, condensed
from the replies of correspondents, in the
section allotted to this department by the
National Cotton Exchange, viz :
Louisiana.—We have eighty-three
letters from thirty-seven parishes, which
unite in reporting generally favorable
weather. There has been no additional
acreage put in cotton since the 15th of
May, but there has been some replanting
where lands were overflowed and to per-
fect the stands. The plant has been
better cultivated than for many yearB
and is growing and forming well. Many
blooms are reported. The stands repre-
sented as " very good " to " excellent,"
and the present condition of the crop is
most fluttering and " much better," and
about one week earlier when compared
with last year.
Mississippi.—One hundred and three
(103) replies received; average date
about the 15th. Weather universally
represented as very favorable. Stands
fne and the plant forming well, though
too early for many blooms. Present
condition stated as " very good," and
" much better" when compared with
last year. No additional acreage put in
cotton. Ueplanting has been done where
the stands were impeifect. Labor con-
tinues plenty and efficient.
Arkansas.—Fifty correspondents send
in their answers from twenty-two coun
ties. Since the first of June, the weather
has been hot and moist enough to pro-
mote rapid growth, and cause the plant
to form and tquare well; the stands are
very good, and no replanting has been
needed except in a few exceptional cases.
Bradley county reports the first bloom on
the 8th inst., but it is only exceptional,
and as a rule, blooming had not begun at
the date of our answers.
Our correspondents are unanimous in
representing the condition as exceedingly
promising and far superior to that of last
year. 1'lanterfi are encouraged by the
prospect, one of the finest ever known.
Considerable attention and care has
been devoted to the cultivation of cereals,
and owing to the excellent harvest, a
feeling of independence is very notice-
able in our correspondence.

Com. on Information and Statistics.
The reports of the other exchanges
are voluminous, and we therefore avail
of the following admirable summary by
the New Orleans Picayune:
Mobile District.—One hundred and
twenty-six replies from fifty-two counties
in Alabama state that the weather has
been generally favorable ; rather too dry
in some places, but not enough so as to
injure the plant. There has been very
little replanting or additional planting.
Stands good and the plant ip forming
well, very few blooms. The condition,
as compared with last year, if reported
from as good to much better. There are
scarcely any unfavorable circumstances
relative to the growth or condition of
the crop; only a few reports of lice and
grasshoppers, and complaints of cold
nights and drouth. Crop clean, in good
condition, and better cultivated than last
year.
From Mississippi, 50 replies from 19
counties report the weather generally
favorable, needing rain in some counties
and some complaints of cold nights, pro-
ducing lice. Very little replanting or
additional planting. Stands good and
plant forming well; only a few blooms,
l'resent condition of crop better than last
"ear at same period. No unfavorable
cireumsiaui^o, other tnau those nni.,,1
above. The favorable circumstances are.
the crop is cleaner, better cultivated and
more Advanced than last year at same
time. A note at the end of the report
states that since the receipt of the crop
reports from the country good rains have
fallen, which the committee believe to be
general throughout the district.
The Norfolk and Portsmouth Cotton
Exchange gives fifty-five replies from
twenty-nine counties in North Carolina,
and six replies from two counties in Vir-
ginia.
Forty live replies report weather dry
and cold, fourteen favorable, two wet
and co'.d. Fifty five replies report little
or no replanting. Six replies from six
counties in Eastern North Carolina re-
port large portions replanted ad late as
Junel. Fifty-four replies report stand
good ; some few complaints on stiff land
—some forms, no blooms. Seven replies
from seven counties in Eastern North
Carolina report stand below average.
Fifty-six replies report condition of
crop good and well cultivated, free from
grass and weeds, plant smaller than same
time laft year, and from eight to fifteen
days later. Five replies from five coun-
ties in Eastern Carolina report condition
bad and estimate only one half crop.
All report the weather since 15th May
too cool for rapid growth, but with warm
and seasonable weather there will be a
great improvement in the plant.
Fifty replies report acreage same as
last year; three replies, from two coun-
ties, give a decrease of fifteen per cent.;
eight replies, from seven counties, give
an increase of twelve"per cent.
Labor is abundant and efficient, work-
ing as well, if not better, than last year,
but it is reported that more and more of
the colored population are getting each
year on unproductive lands, which leaves
the better lands uncultivated.
Incr< ase in commercial fertilizers 20 to
25 per cent.
The Savannah Department has re-
ceived 112 replies from 5'J counties in
Georgia, from which they report; Weath-
er dry and geuerally favorable since
May 15th. No additional planting of
any consequence. Stands good and plant
vigorous, generally forming well, but no
blooms yet, except in southern portions
of the State. Condition of crop good—
rather better than last year, except a few
davs later, and plant somewhat smaller.
Crop clean and well worked. Bain
needed in some localities.
Twenty-nine replies from thirteen
counties in Florida report the weather
dry and favorable for the plant and for
clearing the fields of grass. No planting
since May 15. Stand good. Plant rather
small from the dry weather, but forming
well and commencing to bloom ; condition
compares favorably with last year, ex-
cept in two counties in the Sea Island
District, in which the condition is less fa-
vorable. Lice retarded the growth of
the crop in the early part of the season,
but have disappeared without doing ma-
terial damage. The plant promises to be
well fruited at the bottom, which is the
principal part of the crop.
