THE COTTON TRADE.
NEW YORK, TUESDAY, Oct. 25th, 1853

The Cotton Brokers of this city have formed an associa-
tion to be known as the " New York Cotton Brokers'
Association." They have adopted a standard of classifica-
tion, a method of reporting daily, the sales, and of deter-
mining, once a week, the current value of the various
qualities of cotton. They are also prepared to decide any
matter in dispute, appertaining to the trade, submitted to
them for arbitration. It is believed this will give greater
uniformity to the system of reporting, and be more satis-
factory to those engaged in the cotton business, than the
system hitherto practiced, of each broker quoting for
himself _ _ _ . _

.Y
Since my circular of the 19th inst., we are in receipt of
Liverpool advices per Asia to Bth October. That market
continued depressed, and sales, particularly of the lower
grades, were being made at very irregular rates. Political
matters were still unsettled and uncertain. Further stop-
pages
of mills reported, and more expected. Money in
demand, and a disposition to curtail operations in every
branch of business, very general.
The business in this market induced by the lower scale of
prices ruling, has been, within the past few days, somewhat
increased, and the sales since the 18th inst., to last evening,
have amounted to 5,000 bales, chiefly for export and home
consumption, and prices have further declined;, to is per lb.
The quotations are not yet sufficiently uniform to admit of
their being correctly stated; those annexed are a fair crite-
rion of the market yesterday.

The exporifor the wee ii been— to TAvArpnnl, a, Mll
bales; Havre, 89. Total 3,590 bales.
The Southern markets have also given way, without lead
ing to any very extented business. Particulars are given
under respective heads.
By telegraph we learn that Middlings had receded to 9c.
pr lb., but that after receipt of accounts pr Asia, a reaction
had taken place, and the markets closed with more firmness,
on Saturday 22d inst,. at 91c. for Middling.
The following is the week's movement :
New Orleans, 22d October.—Receipts for the week, 35,000
bales ; same week last season, 50,000, Total receeipts at
this port, 89,000 bales, against 237,000 last year. Deficit,
148,000 bales. Sales for the week, 15,000 bales. Stock in
port, 75,000 bales. Middling, 94e. P. M.—Sales to-day
3,000 bales, market closing steadily.
CROP.—Daring the past week we have received rather
more favorable accounts of the weather for picking and ma-
turing, from the whole of the cotton growing region, and a
more cheerful tone as to the extent of the yield is now pretty
generally indulged in.
The following is a statement of the movement in cotton
since the Ist September last, as compared with the previous
three years .

Great Britain, 19,000; France, 1,000; increase to other
foreign ports, 4,000. Total decrease in exports, 23,000
bales.

Freights to Livorpool continue very quiet, and engage-
ments in small quantities are made at 3-16 d to id per lb.
To Havre, the rate is entirely nominal.
Exchanges are less firm, the business being restricted by
the tightness in the money market. On London, 91 to 9i per
cent. for bankers' bills, and on Paris, 5.12 i.
The following are particulars of operations in the princi-
pal Southern markets since my last circnlar
NEW ORLEANS.—Receipts for the week ending October
14th, 17,960 bales. No foreign export.
" On Saturday, Monday and Tuesday, 2,900 bales were
sold at irregular but generally lower rates. On Wednesday
and Thursday, 3,000 bales, at prices still more favourable for
buyers. On Friday, the Canada'i accounts were to hand,
after which only a few buyers appeared in the market, and
those mostly for limited parcels, to complete freight engage-
ments, and the sales barely reached 700 bales, making a
total for the week of 6,700 bales, taken for England, France,
&c. The market closes in an unsettled awl uncertain state,
but our quotations from last week are reduced b to ic. on
middling, and below, the finer grades being better sustained,
