C otton in I llinois .—The cotton
crop is the largest ever raised in Illi
nois, and is rarely excelled in what is
known as the Cotton States. The
product per acre this year will range
from one thousand to fifteen hundred
pounds seed cotton. The quality is
good—first rate, as compared with
the upland cotton in the South. We
have heard it estimated that Jackson
county alone will produce ten thou
sand bales, while Perry, Williamson,
Saline and Union counties will more
than double this amount. The weath
er this fall has been particularly fa
vorable for maturing and opening the
bolls. We have had no killing frost
yet, and all the late bolls are matu
ring, and will be as good as the early
ones, thus making the yield extra
heavy. There are now six gins in
Cairo running constantly and they
cannot dispose of the cotton even now
as fast as it comes to the market.
Waggons are constantly arriving
loaded with the staple, and oar buy -
ers are eager to meet them. The
price has ranged from ten cents to
twelve and a half cents per pound for
seed cotton, the latter figure for one
load only, so far as we c&n learn*—
