The annexed extract from a letter of one of the
American correspondents of a cotton firm in this
town, will no doubt prove of interest to our readers.
The letter is dated New York, March 24, and says :

The official falling off in the cote ,T 1 rfT:eipts is 196000
-tnl
bales ; the telec.-,s-ic advices make it near 250,000 bales.
This, tZtgins to look serious, as the rivers are all navigable,
and planters are certainly not likely to hold any cotton
back, while they have a chance of shipping it to market.
Our stock is now smaller than last year, with a prospect
of a further decrease. With all southern and:S.W. rivers

in good navigable order, the decrease in receipts can not
be attributed but to the exhaustiOn of the crop,

With regard to the Money Market we may
mention that the supply of capital is rather larger,
but, notwithstanding, the enquiry is less extensive,
no alteration can be reported in the rates demanded
for accommodation. Nothing is done under
61 per cent., and although a revival of the
pressure is not anticipated, very few are
sanguine enough to predict any immedia,";
improvement, .Perhaps, when the account in
Consols is adjusted, there May be rather more ease,
but even then it is not presumed that the relief
will be sufficient to warrant a reduction in the
minimum terms of discount. A disposition exists.
however, to look forward with confidence to
the future, in consequence of the large influx
of gold which is expected in the course of the next
month. It is thought that about that period, as
