Don'l be Dertivni. It is by no moans an uncommon event for cotton, after the great bulk of It has passed out of the bunds of planters timing the fall and winter at low prices, to advance considerably in the early spring about "pitching'’ time tor the year’s crops. We do not know whether the suspicion that this advance at that: particular time is in tended to cause the planting of an other large crop, is correct or not. At the present time there is another and very reasonable way of account ing for ft. The receipts have lately fallen off largely, week utter week as are compared with the receipts of corresponding weeks of last year, and now very few believe that the total receipts of the year will exceed those of the year previous. Up to the tirst of January, and even later, estimates of SSO.OOOor 400,000 bab'S la excess were made by parties regarded as “good authority" in the cotton busi ness. As the prices of the earlier part of the winter were based upon estimates considerably exceeding four millions of bales, it is reasonable to expect higher prices now, when it is regarded as doubtful whether even four millions will be reached. Wo wish to admonish planters, tit this particular time, of the danger of making their farming economy for the year conform to the notion that cotton will be high next fall and win ter because there is a spurt in prices now. Notwithstanding the recent falling off in receipts, we see that the ; stock of American cotton in Liver pool is larger now than it was at the corresponding date of last year, and so Is the stock of American cotton alloat. The total stock alloat also; eleeeds the stock afloat last year so much as to compensate for the slight , decrease of the total stock in Liver tool. ISo we see that, the supply will next fall be still considerably in ad vance of consumption and t lie market then can hardly open at higher rates than those of last fall, unless, indeed, the reports should show that tliu~ {/ear’ll crop will be greatly less than 1 those of the last two years. Ills plain that prices next winter will de pend upon the extent of this year’s crop. There will be no scarcity of old cotton in Liverpool to secure high prices fora large crop of new cotton, that is certain. And as we have seen that prices throughout the current season have kept a close and corres ponding relation with the estimates of the amount of the crop, so we may regard it as an assured fact that cot ton will be high or low next winter according to the estimate of the then incoming crop. Uttt suppose the popular suspicion, alluded to in the outset nl’this article to bo correct suppose that the late advance in prices has really been in fluenced b> a desire to lure the plant ers into the making of another large cottou crop: what does this fact sug gest? Clearly that they should hold on to their next crop until this game is attempted again, say in January or . February. But they cannot do tills under the prevailing system of con tracting debts, which have to be paid in the fall, for provisions, grain, and other accommodations for making i the crop. They must tirst make such things, or as much of them as possi ble, at home; and this must be coin-' moneed by making a sufficient r crop. So that, let us look at the |question in any light, wo are forced [ to the conclusion that the remedy for f present evils, the plan by which to |secure good prices, and the only, agency for working outthoindepend [euue of the planter, is to reduce ilm |cotton and Increase the grain crop. Hereafter let not the person be scorned who goes out between the acts t.o seen man. At least let not the withering contempt of theatre pat-; Irons be visited upon Mr. Clapp, of [Chicago, because it is bis custom when the curtain fulls to leave Mrs. | Clapp to munch the toothsome pea jolt and take care of his seat while ■ lie seeks stimulant to enable him to , endure the remainder of the play ’with fortitude. Mr. Clapp proved .that he was a man of prescience Un other night at tlm Cniougo Academy of Music, for no sooner had he taken ids check at the door and passed out [than an inebriated citizen in the pit arose and tiled off a pistol. The but let passed directly over Mr. Clapps •empty seat and lodged in the tailing lot the orchestra, between the tug lid Idle and the gentlemen who blows on Ithe flute. Had Mr. Clapp been a Son lot Temperance he would have retired Hrom the play with a holo through pus bead and Mrs. Clapp would have psunc into the widow business. C'lear |}y there iH much safety to life in the Custom which thoughtless and irasei tble people sitting in a row at the tho ejitri- are prone to condemn. From Bases like those of Mr. Clapp it can 'b- demonstrated that in a sanitary p...tit of view, a neighboring saloon Js where a Chicago audience should jppend its evenings. N. Y.
