COTTON.

In this city we have had some slight renewal of
business in cotton ; several small parce:s have been taken
to fill peremptory ordzrs from M inehester, &c. Prise?,
though still far irom settled, have assumed a degree of
steadiacss' and enable me to quote Uplands Middling 121 e
to 12 1-,C ; Good Middling, 13e ;
_Orleans, 13c for Middlieg,
and leic to 131 c for Good Mid fling. The sales since
27th ult. to last evening I estimate at 750 bale?. The
clearances during the same time have been 1,195 bales,
all to Liverpool.
Southern Markets.—Mere activity has prevailed than
might have been 'expected, in view of the difficulties is
passing bills of exchange. Tee orders from MOM anis
French houses being peremptory, and for early execution,
have induced great exertion on the part. of buyers in the
South • the great decline in New Orleans and Mobile has
enabled them to fill orders, even at the very low rates of
exchange at present prevailing.
Receipts, Exports, &c.—Tne receipts are 197,000 balsa
less than to the co:Teeponding dates last year; some of
this must be attrilnted to the lateness of the season, but a
good deal to the indisposition of planters to send cotto a to
market for sale at the recent heavy decline, and while
monetary affairs are in such a deranged condition. Planters
will persist in this course, until later accounts from
Europe foreshadow the probable price at which the cotton
will be needeo there. A Fysteuaatic holding back by p!an-
ters will not result in their favour ultimately. rie
exports are larger this week than was expected, particularly
to Great Britain, for notwithstanding the difficulties in the
way of negociatinz, we have cleared 32,000 bales for Great
Britain ; 6,000 bales for France, and 7,000 bales to other
foreign ports.
Crop.—We have accounts from Augusta, Georgia, of the
occerrenees of a frost in that vicinity, and in ether sections
of the State. It is too soon, however, to know the effect of
this on the crop of that locality. From other co.ton
growing districts we have no complaints, on the contrary,
the reports are, the: the crop under the favourable weather
for the past three weeks gives better premise. It is still
too early to form an opinion as to the probable extent of the
crop, though the South have generally adopted 3,000,000
bales as the probable
The following is a statement of the movement in cotton
since the let Sei,tember as. compared with the previous
four year s
