COTTON,

This news was not as favourable as expected, but with the
light receipts of new cotton in the South, light stock here, and
a fair demand from our home consumers, our market has
been firm at my last quotations. The total sales for the. week
amount to 6,000 hales, all, with the exception of a parcel or
two for France, being for spinners. The export during the
same time has been—to Liverpool, 336 ; Havre, 154.
Total, 490 bales.
By telegraph the following has been received :
-

•
NEW ORLEANS, August 23.—Receipts for the week, 1,100
bales ; same week last year, 9,000. Sales for the week, 2,300.
Stock unsold, 3,000. Middling, 111 c per lb. Freight to
Liverpool, id per lb. Exchange on London, 91 per cent.
MOBILE, August 23.—Receipts for the week, 400 bales;
same week last year, 2,600. Middling, 10;53c per lb. Freight
to Liverpool, nominal. Crop reports pretty good.
CROP : We are still without any well authenticated infor-
mation of the extent of the damage done to the growing crop
exposed to the late storm. Louisiana and Alabama, as appears
from the letters, were visited so lightly that the injury done
was altogether trifling, and will be speedily repaired, and from
the latter State, by telegraph, the crop is reported as doing
pretty well. From Mississippi the accounts are less precise,
and therefore more serious for the present, yet the storm did
not extend above Natchez, and, judging from the tenor of the
advices, I think the damage will be proved to have been con-
fined to a few sections, and of such a nature, as two weeks of
fine weather will go far to repair. If the storm had occurred
three weeks later, the extent of damage would have been
greater, and could scarcely be made up; as it is, the receipt of
new cotton at New Orleans will probably be somewhat further
delayed. Texas escaped entirely, drought being the only cause
of complaint there. In Georgia and South Carolina, picking
has fairly set in, and we may soon expect liberal receipts in
Savannah and Charleston.
The following is a statement of the movement in cotton
since the let September last, as compared with the previous
three years :
