THE NORTHERN TIMES---LIVERPOOL. MONDAY, JUNE 1, 1857.

COTTON.

The accounts received are so totally at variance
with general expectation, that renewed disappoint-
ment, has been created, and for the first time
this year, a decided decline woo submitted to
en the sale; made in this market on Friday and Saturday
last. Uplands were sold on the basis of middlings at 131,
and Middling Orleans 14c. The bulk of holders, however,
confident that higher prices must ultimately prevail,
refrained from offering their stock, and there was no
pressure except on positive orders from the owners, or
where engagements had to be met. Yesterday morning,
we received four days later news 'by the Anglo Saxon, via
Quebec. Cotton unchanged, hut wellsupported at previous
quotations. Consols advanced to 931 i. Money easier.
These accounts being considered satisfactory and looked
upon as the precursor of improvement in Liverpool and
Manchester, at once checked the disposition to decline,
and imparted a more cheerful feeling. Quotations are still
somewhat difficult, but those annexed are as low as the
class represented can be bought, to be born.: out by the
Liverpool standard, while the majority of holders demand
even higher rates. The sales for the week have been
6,000 bales, and the expert during the same time has been
to Liverpool, 1,470 bales ; Bremen, 1,315; Stettin, 50 ;
Antwerp, 25. Totol, 2,860 bales.
Cotton in tranaitu has declined lc per lb., and the sales
for the week may be estimated at 5,000 bales. Some mid-
dling Orleans with -11 freight, have been sold as low as
131 c. The quantity remaining unsold in the market is
now very small.
By telegraph we learn that the New Orleans market on
the 14th was easier, and not quotably lower, Middlings
were at 131 c, with moderate sales, Receipts on the 14th,
1,900 bales. The week's receipts, sales, &c., have not yet
reached us, owing to an interruption in the telegraphic
lines.

MOBILE : 'Ehe report. from this market has also failed to
reach us. The receipts were somenhat larger at this point,
owing to the 'heavy rise in the water of the Alabama river,
letting out some cotton that had not been previously
marked. The-receipts for the first four days of the week
are reported at 4,000 bales.
CROP, &c. : We continue to receive very unfavourable
reports from the whole of the cotton growing region as to
the position of the yang plant. So general are the com-
plaints, and so decided the injury already sustained, that
serious fears are entertained whether, even with unusually
favourable weather from this time to the end of the season,
an average crop can be secured. The rains.alluded to in
my last circular have caused an oveiflow of the Alabama,
Bigbee and Warrirr rivers, and caused serious damage to
the" low lands in these sections. The crop. everywhere is
three to four weeks later-than it ought to be, and is in a
very unpromising condition up to the latest mail dates.
The following is a statement of the movement in-cotton
since the first September last, as compared with the pre
vious.fonr years :
