The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 8,000 bales, of which 2,000 American were
taken on speculation. The market closed with a hard-
ening tendency. The sales comprised 7,000 American,
350 Pernam and Maranham at 64-d. to 7,-}d., 200 Bahia
at 61d. to 7d., 300 Egyptian at qcl. to 3d,, and 300
Surat at 31d. to 414. per lb —Railway Shares acre

The circular of Messrs. SChi Mier and Quen tell, dated
New Orleans, Sept. 18, and published by Mr. James
Irvine, of Liverpool, contains the following remarks on
the Cotton market:—" Our review of the 11th instant,
presented the Cotton market as closing rather dull, the
high pretensions of holders and the small stock for sale
havirg checked the previous animated demand and up-
ward tendency of prices, and our quotation for middling
was then 10 to 101 e. The same day, prices were still
more in favour of buyers, only about 1,500 bales oheng-
ivg hands, at a decline of to ie. On Monday, there
was an ample supply on the market, and holders meet-
ing the demand freely, the sales summed up 2,500
bales, at steadier pric-'s. On Tuesday, the accounts per
steamer Humboldt, of 31st August, of Liverpool, came
to hand, and the demand continuing active, about 4,000
bales were taken. Wednesday, the Niagara's accounts
of 4th instant from Liverpool were received, and 3,000
bales sold at firm prices; Thursday the demand was less
active, only about 1,500 bales finding purchasers, and
yesterday, about 2,000 bales; prices showing a decline
of about ic. under the influence of largo receipts, ad-
vancing freights, and a dull exchange market. To-day
the sales, as far as reported, amount to about 2,000
bales, and the market closes steady at our quotations
below. The greater part of the business done was for
Great Britain and the North, buyers for France ope-
rating only on a limited scale, The sales of the week
sum up 14,500 bales, againat 23,961 bales received.

crop in the Southern Cotton region, is not so backward
as has been represented, it should not be lost sight of, that
this year all our tributaries are in a navigable condi-
tion, which was not the case last year, and that last
year, moreover, planters were too busy with picking to
attend much to forwarding their crops in the beginning
of the season. The same causes, no doubt, will keep
our market amply supplied for the next month, whilst
last year the low state of the inland rivers kept back
large quantities, until late in winter. The receipts of
this week, show a decided falling off in quality, the finer
descriptions becoming scarcer and the bulk of supplies
classing rather under good middling. The staple, gene-
rally speaking, continues good; this week, however, a
large proportion of the receipts is badly ginned, and
what is called "napped;" we observe also much leafy
cotton making its appearance already. The accounts of
the growing crop commence to cause serious apprehen-
sions. The damage done by the storms and freshets in
the Atlantic States is estimated as very considerable,
and in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee, the com-
plaints of bollworm and the fast spreading dry rot are
on the increase. It would be premature to estimate the
loss thus far sustained, or the probable yield; it is,
however, more than probable that a continuance of pre-
sent uncertain prospects, must tend to maintain and ad-
vance our present currency of prices. We quote to-day
low middling 21d, middling 9d, good middling 10d to
10i,d, middling fair 101 d to loid, fair I Id to 1 lid, good
fair 1 lid. The quotations apply to strict classifications
of good staple cotton, the prices for such as wanting in
staple being more irregular. Receipts at this port, since
Ist September, 40,082 bales. Exports since Ist Sep•
tember, 11,802 bales."
The state of the dry goods market at New York is
thus described:—
_

Trade continues animated in the highest degree, at
very full prices. No signs of weakness appear from
stocks in disproportionate abundance to the demand, and
the demand is entirely for consumption. Delaines are

packets do not bring full cargoes. British goods are
less active, with a better supply, but prices are
steady. The reduced stocks of dress goods, delaines,
and prints and ginghams sell freely for good qualities.
Woollens aro in demand for the winter descriptions, and
of some kinds for spring garments, to supply distant
markets. The woollen jobbing trade never was so active
as now, and as it has been from the commencement,
which was earlier than usual. The clothiers are still
buying. The western, northern, this state, and the
near by-trade aro large buyers in the general market."
Immigration into America continued on a large scale.
In two days 3.721 rersons have arrived at New York,
chiefly from England and Ireland, but a'so trona Ilam-
burgh and Havre.
The exports of tnerchandize from New York during
the three weeks, to S:ptembcr 25, amounted to
4,628,973 dollars, and the imports to 9,384 764 do lars'
showing, therefore, a heavy balance against America.
The shipment of specie this year from New York had
been 20,652,000 dollars.
