Nea) 7t)0 tons have been shipped to this place and it is nil gane save Hle4it 10 sacks. There is enough though however to Imp ply the demand until mors gets here— its on the way, alas Multiplying the 700 ton* of guano sold at this place by 867 50 per ton, the average cottou op tion price, we have $47 250 to be raised to pay this debt off. We fear our farm ers will find doom diffic ilty in paying this enormous debt.
