COTTON.—Nnw ORLEANS COMYERCIAL
Dec. 18.—With 'respect' to the crop, we now perceive a
general approximation of the estimates, compared with the
fluctuating opinions which prevailed a month or six weeks
ago. The deficiency in the receipts at all the ports hes
materially decreased since our last ; but this circumstance,
which, in ordinary seasons, would have seriously invalidated
the judgment of those parties who were satisfied era dimin-
ished production, has only tended to confirm them in their
earlier estimates of the yield. The facilities for sending for-
ward the present mop to market, have been fir 'better
than usual. Independent of a long continuance of fine wea-
ther, which has enabled planters to haul their Cotton to the
various landings, the navigation of our rivers has been in-
finitely better than was the case last year. It is, therefore,
far from surprising that the arrivals of late have gained on
them of the previous season • and, from present appearances,
we should not be astonished to as. them fully equal the re-
ceipts of the last crop at the ism period in January.
After that, however, the pp will again begin to widen, and
those who found their estimates of an increased growth on the
recent approximation of the receipts to those of last season,
will ultimately discover that thew arguments riot upon a
deseptive basis. The most current estimate of the crop in
this quarter, is 1,900,000 bales ; in faM, it wean to be the
figure on which well Wormed parties to Mier paste of the
tawdry have gasandly exited.

mand. Petersburgh Y.C. on the spot 625. to 52e. 3d.

Rum., Jaw. 15.-For Gran a brisk demand still continues,
and higher rates are paid for all deacriptian ; yet from the ex-
treme smallness of stocks, business is rather limited. Wheat
may be quoted 25., Barley 3s , and Oats L. to 2s. per quarter
higher. The arrivals of Linseed this week amount to about
2,266 qn.; consisting of 3,533 mats from Petersburg, and
500 quarters from Memel. The crushers have been pretty
free buyers, and have succeeded in purchasing the middling
and lower qualities on rather lower terms ; but the finer
qualities have maintained their value. The market has been
well 'applied, end sundry parcels have changed heads. We
quote Black Sea, 50e. to bls. • Peraburgh, fine, 495., down

Lawn, JAN. 12.-Our supplies of Wheat from our own
growers continue to be upon a scale larger than is usual In
our market at this mason, and all our inquiries confirm the
belief that our crop of this grain was a very full average.
In the absence, however, of any, supplies coastwise or frees
foreign poets, the local consumption readily absorbs all that
is brought to market, and to last week's advance may now
be added fully 2s. per quarter. Oats and Beans also mast
be noted as equall enhanced in value, with very. =all sup-
plies, whilst Barley end Peas have each realised 4s. per
renter over the prices of this day se'nrug' ht.
LINCOLN, Jaw. 16.-We have had a large apply of corn
is our market to-day, not one-third of which, however, was
mid, what did change hands was at %bout the prices of this
bp week. In other kind of grain business was flat. Wheat,
elite, 795. to 82s. ; red, 75e. to 795. Barley, which wee
somewhat in request, 46a to 58e. Oats, 365. to 38e. Beans
(stares), 525. to 58s.
Lir:aeon, Jan. 15.-This morning's market was not
so generally excited so some we have had occasion to notice
of late, still a good business was effected in Wheats for local
and country consumption, some quantity was taken for Ire-
land, sad several large parcels of bonded on speculation, in
all which translations 24 per bushel over Tuesday's rates
was realised. Free Flour was held at le. pee sack and barrel
advance, but did not sell readily ; beaded parcels were, how-
ever, again parted with to a large extent, both on the spot
and to arrive, at that amendment, 435. being easily made for
Western Canal. Beans and Peas were held for Is. higher.
In Barley and Melt no alteration, little of either being on
sale. Of Oats the market is nearly bare, and fine qualities
were about 2d. enhanced in value ; fine Dutch btoatht ashigh
as 6.. per 451b5. Oatmeal nominally dearer. Indian rmn must
be quoted ls. to 2s. per qr. higher • few pareen now remain on
sale. The supplies of the last three days, taken al
quite imagnit, a few parcels of Beans and ItanCerdoarnat
constituting the bulk of our arrives, not a barrel of Fleas
being reporW from the United States or Canada; upon •
steady change of wind to the westward, however, we may
look for a fair increase in the quantity of produce from
America. By the Boston steamer we have advice, from New
