COTTON.—Nrw T0im,.;;1.4.1K-1711eCotton year cloning on the
find of this month, it now appear* that the crop of IS $5. 44i, as indi-
cated by the receipts at the shipping ports, amounta to 2,073,329 bales
in comparison with 2,394,300 bales of the crop 1044-43, being a dif-
ference of 3'20,914 tales; the amount of the crop of the State of Tema,
27,004 hale% being added this year—makes the crop or the United
State. now 2,100,5.37 hales. This crop was generally estimated at
2,400,000 bales up to the Ist of January last, in consequence of the
healthy state of the ;dart during the w bole growing es ason—a late
' frost—and the picking orwon being the longest and most favourable
on recent ; and, in fart, it woo only in February but that the estimates
at New Orleana and Mobile, of the best-informed prisons, were
reduced to 2,100,040) bale% the receada at those porta fall-
ing far short of the nominal growth. The quantity taken for home
use this last reason, stands at 422,3)47 balm against 389,006 last r ar,
and 346,744 the year before. Of the present crap, the quantity re-
eeived at the shipping ports is about 300 bales, againat 8,700 hilts last
year. In all remark.' during the growing mason, we have referred to
the backward state of the plant, and to the excessive wet and unpro-
pitious weather, and latterly to the estimated iojury by the army
worm and the boll worm; of the latter the complaints have ceased to
any large extent ; but in consequence of the first, the picking pro-
ceeds very slowly, and it is evident that the growing crop will, under
any circumstance*. and even if frost should not appear till November,
be under an average one.
The receipts of this staple, at this port. since the Ist. inst., have
been 6,000 lutes; exports 600; taken by ppinnen,, ,400; taken on
speculation, 1,000 ; stock in city, 3.5,000 ; amount on sale, 5,000 bales.

Como—Since our last, per steamer of the Ist Inst., considerable
changes have taken place in the general aspect of the market, an well
as in prices. The inquiry both for export and home use, has been to
a fair extent, and teal:maims, although somewhat limited. owing to
the light receipts, have been conducted with great spirit; priers
during the past week have advanced nearly fifty cents per barrel. The
market closed yesterday, firm, at 4d. 681 c. for Genesee; it opened at
4d. 621 c., at which figure the extent of transactions encouraged
holders, and last evening good Genesee could not be bought
under our highest quotation. The inquiry, or rather sale
have been, for two or:three days, equal, if not beyond the re-
ceipts ; hence the firmness alluded to. On the winding up of last
week large lots of Michigan and Oswego changed hands, principally
for export, at 4d. 561 e. ; also a lot of fancy Ohio at 41.62 yc. to:id. There
were also sales in New Orleans, at 3d. 50e, inferior, but a lot of superior
brand brought 4d. Some Brooklyn mills sold at ad. 361 e. Southern is
less active, and does not seem to share any of the animation noticed
in Western; all good brands, however, arc pretty well supper. ed, at
4d. 50e. to 4d. 561 c.; Byeflour issearee, and would sell freely at 341. ; Jer-
sey corn meal sells at 3d. a 3d. 121 e..., generally at the lost figure ; Bran-
dywine, 3d. 121 c. Wheat is also in better demand, with higher prices,
and an increcom in transactions. The dock of roost of the tine
brands is fast lessening, and holders firm at the advanced prices.
The principal part of the transactions for the last week has been for
export—the amount done for home use has been comparatively small.
Michigan, White, and Genesee sold at 93c. to 981 e. ; some of an ex-
tra bland went as high as 1 dol. lc. to 1 dol. sc.—the market closes at
1 doL for prime Genesee ; Illinois, red, sold at 60c. to 65e. ; good to
prime, 871 c. to 91e.; Rye, new northern, continues in demand for
distiller; there is not much doing in export. Sales were made at
&Sic. to 70c., and some at 71e. Corn is still roam, and, in conse-
quence, priers have an upward tendency. Western is selling at 60c.
to 6Je.; sonic inferior Northern sold at 60c.
