The private letters received from the United States
this morning do not go the length the journalists do as
to the deficiency in the crops. This is just what we
expected. False rumours have been set afloat on the
other side of the Atlantic, with the sole view of
influencing prices here, and a very good
harvest has been already reaped thereby at
the expense of the consumers here. The following
extract from the New York Herald upon the subject,
is worth attentive perusal. Alluding to the state of
the Cotton Market at New York it is remarked .
" The excessive depression of the previous year, how-
ever, has been avoided, and the closing rates are a frac-
tion higher than those which prevailed at the opening
of the season. As regards the crop of 1845, it was
early manifest that excessive drought for a long period
had materially curtailed the extent of the production
in South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama. &c. ; but at the
same time an impression prevailed that the increased
yield in the sections of country bordering on the Missis-
sippi river would go far to counterbalance the de-
ficiency in the States on the Atlantic. The result, how-
ever, proves that this calculation was widely erroneous,
and is ar.other among the many instances on record
which evidence the futility of early estimates. Accord-
iii table, the total receipts at alt
2,056,314 bales, against 2,417,812 bales at same time
last year—showing a deficiency of n 1,498 bales. This
amount includes 1,321 bales received at this port from
Texas, while that state was still a foreign country ;
and when this item is deducted, and certain addi-
tions are made for the stocks on hand at Macon,
Augusta and Ilamburgh, the receipts overland at Phila-
delphia and Baltimore, &c., the crop of the United
States, as made up by the New York Shipping and Com-
mercial List, will probably be not far from 2,075,000
bales, against 2,394,503 bales last year. This amount,
however, will not include any shipments which may
have been made from Texas to the northern ports, or
to Europe, since the 16th day of February last, the
date of the transfer of the Custom-house to the United
States, of which there are ne published accounts, but
which, as well as the stocks at the shipping ports—if
there be any—now properly belong to the crop of the
United States."
In Mark-lane there appeared to be a check given to a
further rising of prices. We cannot, however, quote
values lower than in the early part of the week. The
sales of corn at the country markets are represented as
having been very large indeed.
The Copse,' Market has suddenly receded from 951
to 9541, both for Money and the Account, and without
any very apparent cause, as the sales have certainly not
been large. The premium upon Exchequer-bills is I6s.
to 19s.
In the Foreign Stock Market there has been an im-
provement in Russian Bonds to 1111, and in Mexican to
S6l. Spanish Passives have been at ; the Dutch
Two-aryl-a-Half per Cents. at 591, and the Four per
Cents. at 921.
