NEW YORK MARKETS.
Naw Yoax, Etc. 4.—Sines the departure of the America,
on the 28th alt, the stock market hes been decidedly mere motive, and
the tendency has been upward. The books of transfer for the U.S.
Loans being DOW closed, the quotations as sanesed are with the in-
terest off, and the seller receiving the money now gain, the interest
until the Ist proximo. The stock is delivered by power and enne-
ad.. All the prominent securities are in fair avast, and much
larger transections have taken place in railroad stocks, whilst those of
the banks and fire insurance companies continue to advance. We ate
again without any alteration to notice in the money market. The
bolas discount freely at the usual rates. Loans on call are made out
of the beaks at 4 to 3 per cent, sod discounts rum from Sii to 7 pee
cent. The market is well stocked with coin, the shipment of which
has nearly oessed. The exports during the put week are r follows,

Exchanges bare not undergone much fluctuation, and prices close

and the supply Dot large. The demt.td will probably be considerably

COTTON.
As respects the cotton crop we have the usual conflicting accounts,
I; is evident that. the continuation of floe weather has enabled plas.ters
to gather the whole of their crop in good order, but it d es not appear
to be equally certain that it has materially ',creased the quantity.
The New Orleans Bee, of the 23rd November, says :—On the Srd of
October we settled on an estimate of 2.130,000 bales for the cotton
crop of the prevent year, and in adopting this apparent estrum
figure at the time, we made t very allowance for the continuance of a
favourable picking mason, and an absence of frost until the begin-
ning of November. lip to the present moment, the weather bas bees
most propitious for gathering the yield, and the 23rd Nov. hasarrived
without a frost having occurrad in the cotton growing miens of the
extreme South. In many portions of the Atlantic States, a Wing
frost took place ten days since, but the natal temperature that pre-
vailed for several weeks previous had ripened a considenden
portion of the top growth, thus securing to planters a tour yield
than they expected to realise at the end of September—but in our
opinion not by any means larger than the estimate we put forth on
the 3rd ult., say 6201,0e0. Nine-tenths of the estimates at that time
did nut exceed 600,000 bales, but as we never allow ourselves to be
carried away by the excitement of the momeut, we could gee no good
grounds fur ...opting such a low igure, predicated as It win, after
all, on the expectation, or rather hope, that a billing feet would take
pLice bef% re the first of Noremb, r. In Louisiana, Mississippi, Ala-
bama, Florida, and AAR/ISo% the fine weather has added but little to
the quantity, however much it may have improved the character and
quality of the pickthg.
On Saturday , oa the arrival of the Canada at this port, it wss
&con red that the mail from Havre, via Southimpton,
bad failed, and that but few of the French trade cow equently were in
receipt of their deices. This failure intesfered seriously with bud.

period of the mama. The New York opinions, it is true, generally
wellte 2,250,000 to 2,400,010 bales, but southern estimates, from
well-informed sources, vs, y from 1,850,000 to 2,250,000 bales. Those
in favour of the largest estim des base their calculations on the fine
weather which has prevailed throughout the south during the pick-
ing season, and maintain that the planters have also chenged their
opinions in consequence of the anxiet they =milted to market their
crops and realise the rates current. Those who still believe in a mode-
rate yield (ourselves included) claim that the benefits resulting from
the Me fall weather are ae much over estimated the season as they
were In 1846, when the weather was also uninterruptedly fine from
the let of September to toe 14th November, which led to estimates
that exceeded the aggregate yield of 400,000 bales And further, we
know that although the receipts at the ports last semen were upwards
of 2,700,000 bales that the actual growth did not exceed 2,550.000
bales, the balance being left over from the crop of the previous
searon.—We know also, that the crop of '46—'49 was grown under
the most favourable circumstances, an early planting, • good
growing and a late picking season • whereas the crop of this season,
planted at the usual period, was dstroyed by frost a April, render-
ing minions( neerwary—was retarded sulsequently by a bud grow-
ing season (including Use injuries It sustained from floods. drought,
and the ravages of the worm,) ani that whereas the picking com-
menced last year to July, it was not this year general until Septem-
Ler, and we arc not therefore prepared to adopt Increased estimates,
even though the planters are totalled with double the price that they
received Mat year for their crops, and in their anxiety to secure ft
make no calculations beyond the moment, but force their products to
market, coming thereby early and heavy accumulation of atock at
Southern ports.
