MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, Wednesday Evening. The Cotton Market is quiet, with a very mode rate business doing, and we must report a down• ward tendency in prices, buyers of American being able to purchase about H 1 lower than , on Friday last. To-day the sales were about 4,000 bales, including 1,000 on speculation. The intelligerce r , :ceived by the Atlantic, r , spfeting the crops, is rather conflictin,7, but on the whole we may ennei,ler it mor.t satisfactory than otherwise. This question is of so much importance that we need, not apologise to cur readers for giving a brief outline of the condition of the crops in various localities, as received to -lay.

And, so sure as the rain comes, we may ce tlin'y expect the catterpiller to follow. This destt uctive insect has, indeed, already made its appearance, as the following extract from a country cote e.pondent will show :-" My cotton is of no aceounn I don't think I will make more than twenty bales, if that.

[a 1846, a remarkably wet year, the cetterpillar was first seen near the middle of Ju!y. Its havoc that year will be ever memorable in the history of the plant. The Mobile Tribune of the 29th ult., adds :- Upon the whole. " with tLe lights now before us," to be caatious in ex renting an opinion, we are morn and mire confirmed in cur previous i-tp - esson already put forth, that the crop will be clteilerata'y short.

Heavy *h w s hive Ellen in various pats of the country this week, and frrm present iadicati .ns, the end is not yet. Upon the best lands, cotton is from five to eight feet hieh, and still growing; but very little is opened, and no picking has yet been done, en] we imagine bat little will be done before the 15th cf September. NORTHERN MISSISS PPL.-The latest accounts inform us that- The recent rains have caused cotton to grow rapidly. It is two weeks later thin usoal, but with dry we ,ther and a late fall, as average yield will be made. 8h:u1.1 it become wet, with an early fa 1, the crop very very, light. Ir case of wet, the lower bolls will rot. Should there be an jut), . fall, the upper bolls will be cut otf by the frost. Thus, it will be seen, are our planting friends steering their bargees of hope and expectation between Scylla and Charybdis. The crops in the Mississippi bottom, are represented as bean e very fine. The recent rains, co veyer, have crea`ed some anxiety among planters, as to their effect tap in the cotton plant.

At LEWIS & COIPANY'S, treet, BOYS are CLOTHED rem the Ages of Six to ßanelsgh- Twenty Years. and to facilitate the Interest payments by furnish ing them with coupons, has led to the question hciug raised whether the issue of Exchequer Bills in any shape is, under present circumstances, desi rable. The only recommendations that could ever have been urged for them were, first, that they enabled the Government to raise any sum that might be requisi►e for temporary circumstances in a form to admit of its being easily paid off when the requirement had terminated ; secondly, that they supplied the financial public with a singular ly eligible medium fer the employment of floating balances; and, th!rdly, that owing to this fact they would cir culate at a rate of interest considerably below that at which loans could be raised by the creation of stock. All these advantages, however, have now disappeared, and as the existence of a heavy unfunded debt has at all times certain inherent objectionable, features, it is natural that doubts should be raised whether these should be sub mitted to when there are no longer aoy counter acticg circumstan^es to render them unimportant. The issue of Exchequer Bills merely for casual purposes has long pased into a more extensive errangement, by which the total has been swollen so as to represent nearly a fortieth part of the entire national debt, about 17,000,000/ or 18.000,000/ being at all times in the hands of the public. The facilities which caused them to be acceptable to financiers have been utterly eclipsed, chiefly by the attractions offored by the banks and discount houses in receiving deposits at call, and partly by the higher terms payable on railway eebentures ; an 1, finally, so far from their now eff:cting an economy to the Government by their rate of interest being below that of the funds, they cannot even be kept flour a discreditable discount by an interest of 3/ 16s 011 per cent., while any amount could be raised in stcck at about 3/ 03 or 3/ 7s per cent Whether the new regulations recommended by the commitree would in any important degree remedy this disparity may be doubted. The fact is, the government themselves have, for years past, con trived, as far as possible, to damage this species of security at the very time when other changes in the monetary world were tending in the ssme direc tion. The first blow was inflicted by abolishing the regulation under which they were receivable for revenue payments at any period after three months from their date of issue ; and subsequently Sir Charles Wood and Mr. Gladstone, by obstinately allowing them to fall to a heavy discount, and to remain unsaleable at times of severe pressu e, thoroughly completed the mischief. There is hardly a banker or money-dealer who has not a sore recollection of losses and anxieties most unjustly thrown upon him in this manner, and the prejudice created will last for years to come. It is, therefore full time to consider whether the annual pecuniary loss entailed by these securities, together with the discrelit of seeing the current obligations of the Government daily quoted at a discount, should not be got rid of by funding the whole, or, at all events, so large a portion of them as would enable the remainder to float and to command a respectable premium at a reduced interest. Advices horn San Francisco mention the arrival of 80,0001. in dollars from Mexico, destined for exportation to China. Mexican dollars are con stantly flowing to China from various points of the American coast, in addition to the large amounts remitted from England. Telegraphic advices, dated Sf. Petersburg, Satur day, report a great storm and fire on the Ladago Canal. Two hundred '• barks," or country craft, laden with produce destined for shipment,including flour, timber, & were wrecked. Tile damage, how. ever, does not appear to represent any serious aggre gate, and the quantity of tallow lost is believed to be comparatively small. The price of tallow was quoted from 179 to 182 ro. on the spot.

The total exports since the Ist of September are 1 516,921 bales, of which 749 483 bales were shipped to Great Britain, 258,163 to France, 236,069 to the North and South of Europe. and 223,204 to the United States ports. The total receipts at all the Atlantic and Gulph ports, up to the latest dates received, as shown by our general cotton table, are 2,938,332 bales ; but the actual crop, when made up to the Ist of September by the New York Shipping and Commercial List, with the difference of stocks at Augusta and Hamburgh, receipts overland, &c., will not be far from 2 935,030 bales ; a decrease of 592,000 bales as compared with the crop of last year. Having thus shown the amount of our receipts, and their distrioution, we proceed to give some general statistics connected with the cotton trade, which will be found of more or less interest to producers, dealers, and con sumers.

What the extent of the crop may ultimately be is, under the peculiar circum stances, a matter of even more uncertainty than usual at this period of the season. Whatever it may be, however, it cannot exceed the wants of the world ; and without the interposition of some great disturb• ing cause, it would seem assured of a ready market at even a higher average of prices than was realised the past season. In calculations of crop it should be borne in mind that the interior is nearly bare of stock, and that the supply is to be drawn almost exclusively from the pro duct of this year. It may also be well to remember that the large crop of 1855-56 was an unusually early one, nearly 24,000 bales of it having been received previous to the Ist September—about treble the quantity received up to that time in any previous year ; and it should further be remembered that of the total crop of 3.527.000 bales, it was estimated that only about 3,30,000 bales were the growth of 1855. On the 15th Angust five bales of the new crop were received from Texas, being exactly one month later than the first receipt -of last year, which was also from Texas. Three of these bales proving of good color and staple, and classing good middling to middling fair, were promptly sold at the fancy price of 18. a per pound for shipment to Liverpool. The first arrival from the 111issitlippi Valley was on the 231 August (two bales) against 6th August last year; but these were evidently lmmature, bc . ng poor in staple, badly gin -cut, &c., and the few straggling bales that have since arrived have been mostly of a similar character. The entire receipts of the new - crop:are orly 33 bales, against 1,166 bales last. year and 23,232 bales the year previous. Of course, therefore, there has been no opening of the market upon the new crop, and the season closes with a stock unsold of some 3,000 bales, consisting almost wholly of the:low grades of old crop, for which few or no buyers have appeared for some time past. The quotations, therefore, are almost wholly nominal as follows ; NEW ORLEANS CLASIIFICATION. (Asq,imilating to that of Liverpool.)

In the review of the past season's operations in this important staple, which we now propose to enter upon, it may be proper to state, by way of note or preface, that the quotations which we usa are fer a classification assimilating to that of Liverpool. The classifications of France, the Continental Ports, Spain, the North, &c., call for higher grades, and these usually command an iro to is above our outside figures. The first bale of tha new crop came from the Southern most part of Tex.'s, and was received here at the unusually early period of 15th July, but the first bale from the Mississippi V illey was not received until the 6th August, which was eleven days later than the first receipt from the same section the year previous, and the total receipts of new crop up to the tat September were only 1,166 bales, against 23,2e2 bales the year previous. The supply of old crop was nearly exhausted, and the year commenced with a stock unsold, in first ane second hands, estimated not to exceed 2,500 bales, a considerable portion being low cotton of the old crop. The early receipts, too, besides being meagre in quantity were comparatively poor in quality, the first pickings in several sect ions having bsen injured by the severe storms at the close of August ; but a marked improvement was soon observed, under the pre va'ence_of favourable weather and more full maturity, and ready sales were effected at improving prices, the supply nof keeping pace with the demand (which was mostly for France, the North, 111,-xico, end Spain) for a considerable period. The opening quotations for new crop middling were lle to 1 lie, but, the market continued to move up. ward, and the closing quotations of them nth of Septem ber were 11,1 : to I lie, with reported sales during the mont h of 69,20) bales. The average price of middling for the mouth was 1 to Me. In the early part of Ootober there were accounts of killing frosts (en unusually early period), which had more or less influence, and at the same time supplies were interrupted by ueusually low waters, even the main chaunel of the Mississippi being so shallow that the packets could only bring in parts of cargoes. Under these circumstances prices were run up sti.l further, and on the 10th October the quotations fur middling were 121 c to 12Se, but at this point the first reaction of the season took place, the demand not having fully responded to the increasod supply. The reported sales for the month were 149,500 bales, the lowest quotations for mid dling being 114 to file, the highest 124 e to 12}c, and the average Ile to 11Z e In November the general tendency of prices was in favour of buyers, the European advices not meeting expectations, b u t th e sales were large, par ticularly at the close, summing u p f or th e month 224,000 bales, the lowest quotations being flee to In r, the high est 11 so to like and the average 1 li, to 1 Ile. In Decem ber a continued good demand, particularly tor the medium grades, and great confi lence on the pert of holders turned the advantage again in their favour, and the average of the month for middling was llic to 120. Reported sales for the mouth 226.500 bales. January opened with a very active demand, and the sales for the first five days summed up 87,000 bales; being the largest amount ever sold in five consecutive lays in this market. On Mond Ay the 12th, under favourable European advices, the sales reached 29,000 bales, which was the largest number of bales ever sold in one day in this market, while the aggregate cash value (about 1.500,000 dots) was greatly in excess of any other day's business on record. Prices advanced tic within the month, but the market began now to feel the pressure of stock, the receipts being consider ably in excess of the previous large crop year, and there was a slight yielding in favour of buyers at the close. The reported sales of the month summed up 302.500 bales, the lowest quotations for middling being llic to 12ec, the highest 124 c to 121 c, and the average 121 c to 121 c. Throughout February the demand continued generally good for the medium qualities, but their comparative scarcity (the great bulk of the stock being of the lower and higher grades) caused the business of the month to fall off to 201,000 bales, though prices still advanced, the lowest quotations for middling being 12/0 to 12id, the highest 121 c to 13c, and the average 1210 to 1210. In March the scarcity of the middling grades and their steady appreciation forced some attention upon the lower qualities, which improved materially in prices upon tha previous nominal figures. The reported sales of the month summed up 179,000 bales, arid the further advance in middling was /e, the lowest quotations being 12ic to 131 c, the highest leee to 1310, and the average 131eo to lei o. The month of April witnessed quite a severe struggle between holders and purchasers, but the remarkable frosts of the sth, 13th, and 23rd of the month (the last the most severe), put it beyond all question that the crop of 1857-58, whatever might be its ultimate extent, must be a late one, and this conviction, with a rapid falling off in the receipts and reduced rates of freight, tended to the advantage of holders, and enabled them to maintain still further advanced prices with remarkable steadiness throughout the mouth, the quotations for middling for nearly the who'e period being 1310 to 131 c, which was the average of the month, with reported sales of 95,100 bales. In May the demand was confined almost exclusively to the middling and good middling qualities, while the great bulk of the stock consisted of the lower and the finer grades, and the business of the month fell off to 58,500 bales, the market opening at 131 c to 14c, falling off to 131 c to leic, and recovering again at the close to 13/ to 140. Under similar circumstances, and with an unusually limited number of buyers for the period of the season, June passed with sales of only 46 800 bales, the lowest quotations for middling being 13/c to 131 c, the highest 131 e to 14c, and the average Idle to 1310. In July there was a strong disposition to purchase, but the low stock of desirable qualities, and the constant upward tendency of prices, together with tte advanced rates of freight, tended to check cp rations, and the business of the month was confined to some 23,000 bales, middling opening at 140 to 1410, and closing at 142 e to 150 ; being the highest quotations since 1839, and giving an average for the month of 144 c to 141 c. A similar state of things confined the operations of August to about 12,800 bales, the lowest quotations for middling being 141 c to 150, the highest 15e to 151 c, and the average of the month 14/0 to 150 per pound, the season closing with a stock unsold estimated not to exceed 3,000 bales. The reported sales of the entire season sum up 1,587,700 bales, against receipts of 1,513,247 bales, the excess having resulted from local speculative movements. We have thus rapidly sketched the season's progress, from its opening to its close ; a season which has been marked by prominent and important peculiarities, among which may be noted the remarkable steadiness and firm ness with which factors have generally maintained their position, even under the pressure of unwonted stocks and unfavourable Europe in advices, and when, as in the mouth of January, with navigable rivers and the increased aid of railroads, the receipts at the ports exceeded by same 50,000 bales the amount received up to the same period the previous year, when the crop was 3 527,000 bales. But early in the season the general impression seemed to be that it would prove to be about a three milliou bale crop, this estimate appearing to be quite generally adopted as a practical basis of operations ; and it has been adhered to with a steadiness, confidence and unanimity, notwith standing the adverse representations of pirties elsewhere, that we have seldom witnessed, to be more than confirmed by the actual result. With respect to the quality of the crop just disposed of, we have to remark that the early receipts for some time did not compare favourably with the receipts in the corresponding period of the previous year, when, by the way, the quality of the early pickings was unusually good, the crop being a very forward one, as indicated by the unusually large receipts iu the month of August. In most instances they were deficient in staple, colour, and clean ness, but this was attributed partly to the effect of the August storms. Early in September, how ever, the receipts began to exhibit a marked improvement in quality, and for some time they presented an unusually high a 7. , rage, scarcely any lots below low middling having been received up to about the middle of October. Then the low grades began to appear, and they subsequently constituted an unusually large proportion of the receipts, weighing heavily on the market during most of the period, and sometimes being wholly unsaleable, as the main demand of the season has run upon qualities ranging from low middling to strict middling. It may be remarked that the receipts of the season have embraced a larger proportion of very low cotton (some of it positively trash) than has been observed since the storm year of 1845-46. Decidedly the most objectionable feature has been the dust and sand found mingled with the cotton to an extraordi nar y ex t en t , an d such complaints of loss have been received from the manufacturers who have tested lots of that character, that in future they are likely to be almost wholly unsaleable, or only disposed of at a much more marked difference in price than has prevailed during the past season. If this evil, and another to which we have often called attention—the mixing of several qualities in the same bale—can be avoided by more care in the gathering and packing of the crop, that care will be well bestowed. 'I he course of the market throughout the entire season is indicated by the following tables, which show the monthly fluctuation in prices, with the rate of freight to Liverpool, and of sterling exchange, and by reference to them it will be seen that the general tendency of the market has been upward, until the advance realised ou middling within the year reaches 4c per pound, the opening rates being 11c to llic, and the closing 15c to 15ic per pound. 'The average prices of the season for all qualities we find to be 12ic per pound, against 9 last year and 9 1-16 c the year previous, and the average weight of the bales we have ascertained to be 456 pounds, against 455 pounds las - year and 444 pounds the year previous, making an aggregate weight for cotton received at this port of 690,040,632 pounds.

The question of crop has now attained an interest and mportance never before approached in the history of toe cotton trade. With the comparatively short crop of the past year the old stocks have melted away, and the con sumption has absolutely overtaken pro 'nation ; a state of things which is fraught with startling interest, especially to Great Britain. Under these circumstances the pros pects of the growing crop are watched with an absorbing anxiety by the British community, and an anxiety not a little perplexing, we may well conceive, after the signal disappointment of their hopes . touching the extent of last year's crop, based upon faith in some of the New York estimates. Tnis question of crop is on-`which we have always touched with great caution, and we can only speak in general terms of what are understood to be its present prospects. We will, however, premise that beyond a doubt preparations were made for the largest crop ever grown. There was every motive for such a course, and such is understood to be the fact. A remarkably favour able early snring caused an unusnally extensive early planting, and thus much was exposed to the frost of the sth April, and kil!ed. Another killing frost occurred on the 13th April, and still another, and tl a mo,t severe, on the 23rd. This is the latest killing frost, considering the condition of the plant, that has occurred since 1849, when with killing frosts on the 15th and 16th April, the crop was less than that of the year previous in the amount of 632,000 bales. These successive frosts and subsequent unseasonably cool weather put it beyond a doubt that the crop must be a late one, and it was said that in some sec tions the land was not replanted to the original extent for want of seed. At last, however, a good "stand" was understood to hays been pretty generally obtained, and since then the plant is said to have made good progress and to present fair promise, though there were complaints of too much rain in some sections at the close of July and in the early part of August. The lateness of the crop, however, is now an assured fact, and we can hardly believe that even the most favourable future circum stances can fully compensate for the loss of three to four D. - P o_ll T.—Highest class Vintage Wine, five years } 463 per Do; in bond, and fi t for imme di a t e use In Pints...... 243 „ SHERRY.— First Class, Pale and G01d........
