Speculators who bad been calcu
lating on a coitm famine in the
South as a r -suit of the recent flotids
in some of the Southern States, and
were making arrangements accord
ingly, find w their calculations all
blown to the winds by the reports
which now reach us, well authenti
cated, which show that the damage
to the cotton, nee and sugar p'anta
tions is not near so great as the
first reports lead us to believe.
Comparatively few p'antaiions were
so badly injured as to compel their
abandonment. In the lied Hiver
country, in the valleys of the Talla
hatchie and Yazoo the croiis have
been replanted where found neces
sary, and the prospect for good
crops, although somewhat late, are
good. The accounts of losses were
greatly exaggerated, and in the
parislies of Lafourche and St.
Charles, reported entirely destroyed,
the cro arc vigorous and give
the best of promise. From the re
ports now received from everv
quarter, it is believed that neither
the cotton, sugar or rice crops will
be reduced sufficiently to effect in
the slightest degree the home or
foreign markets. The great loss
to the south was the destruction of
stock and agricultural implements
swept off by the flood. There
would seem to be no cause for an
advance in cotton goods.
