LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY EVENING

There has been more activity in the Cotton
Market to-day, and a large business has been
done, the sales amounting to 14,000 bales, of which
6,000 have been taken for speculation and export.
Prices are a shade higher. The advices received
by the Baltic to-day, report that the first bale
of the new crop of cotton was received in New
Orleans on the 16th inst. A private letter dated
from Mobile on the 12th, states :—" We are very
firm here, and the stock is in few hands. The
low falling, and for two weeks past, will do
no good to the-growing crop, and the factors are
complaining very much." Two vessels are laid on
the berth for Liverpool, the Ida and the Livingston,
both British. • There is more complaints of worms
doing damage, and the rain also. The published
accounts of the 'growing crop are not so satisfac
tory as could be wished, as will appear by the
following extracts, taken from the Mobile papers
of 11th July :--

- -
It is rather early in the season to make any calculation
on the growing crop of cotton, as much depends on the
weather during the months of July and August ; but this
we can say, that up to this time more damage has been
done than we ever knew before. In the first place, the
lice and cut worm have done so much injury that in
almost every plantation of a sandy character, large
places can be seen without anything on them. Of course,
no cotton can be made without a stalk. In the next place,
"-- have drowned the low spots, where we
',rge crop years. We often
r occur later in the season,

are to be seen,

The weed looks unhealthy, and
_
although we have had-so much rain is not as large as it
ought to be to make a full crop. Small weeds will do
well in a dry year, because the joints are close, and filled
well, but not in a wet one. From all we can learn, we
are safe in stating that in no event can the crop hi this
region of country be nearly equal to the last.—[Camden
(Ala) Republic.]
THE COTTON WORM IN MISSISSIPPI: We learn from
the Vicksburg Sentinel, of the 3rd inst., that this very
destructive worm has made its appearance in Hinds and
Madison counties, and has already done extensive injury
both to cotton and corn. Great apprehensions are felt
by planters of the almost entire destruction of the crop.
We understand that one hundred acres of cotton on the
plantation of Dr. Holmes, and about two hundred and
fifty on that of Colonel Dobney, both of Hinds, have been
totally destroyed. We hope, however, by our next issue,
to be able to give some favourable intelligence.
On the same subject the Yazoo City Observer, of the 3rd
inst., says :—" A gentleman just from Holmes county
states that the caterpillar of 1846, or army worm, has
made its appearance in several placeain that county, and
that some fields of cotton have been entirely laid waste
by them. Some planters are ploughing up and planting
corn."
The business season in the South may be con-
sidered quite closed, the vessels loading for Liver.
pool being reduced to 6 in New Orleans, and 2 in

exports will be exceedingly small for some time to

Accounts from Berlin state that, on the 25th
inst. a number of police officers appeared in the
Corn Market, for the purpose of taking into
custody any speculators whose operations cause a
rise in the price of wheat, rye, and other kinds of

grain. It niay be supposed that such a circumstance
created no small, amount of consternation in the
market; and the effect has been the reverse of
that intended by the authorities. Many foreign
sellers of grain, fearing that the presence of the
police would bring down the prices considerably,
retired immediately from the market, which has

and. last year to 11,303,0001. All the gold, with
the exception of about 20,0001 to the States, and
213,0001 to other countries, were exported to Great
Britain or her colonies.

The Market for Railway Shares continues rather
depressed, in consequence of the high rates
charged for carrying over, which induced many
parties at once to close their accounts. This
has further influenced prices, which may be
described as very heavy. We annex the
