Borne and Farm. -J .: ; ' During the week ending Novembers. Iy8, the price of cotton in New York Ml below 5 centa. This to a" rematkable statement and we believe ihaSlt is with out precedent. Even in the old slave daya we tbiuk that this price was not ivaehed. Undoubtedly the main cause in thia decline ia the vast increase in the prpduo tion. Two cropa, earn if which will probably exceed 1 1,000.000 bales, have been ratoed by tbeaoutbern states. That is, for 'uetirly1 two years the aoutbern elates have been producing nearly a mil lion bale a mouth. This vast production has gone on increasing, in spite' of the defining price. We can cry out nsrainst the rniiiona decline, but yer million of pnaiucera have gone on increasing their production in the face of the dei'Iinlag price, Iwldch is a proceeding altogether Inexplicable. v'r'-'.- As we have said heretofore, the farm- era th'-m elvea, If they are going to con tinue to raise eleven and twelve million baleH of cotton at 5 centa a pound, mut raise something bet-idea cotton. I hey muat aecure thetn8fv-8 from some other source. I hey mUHt reduce the cost of production by increHSing the homesnp- ply. Ir is UHelens to preach to the farmer the tieo8itv for reducing ihU crop; the farner csa the matter Drontit home to him in the price.. Thto is an argument rnai neeas no preaenraz roeciorce. ic h carried directly home to every producer. L very prod ::o-r taunt for biEKlf dei-Me, wnetber or net he will CKireasa the area h has devoted to cotton. If the furors will r reduce e!avcn mil lion ba!os, prict'3 will continue low.
