CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday, were
6,000 bales at full rates, including 1,000 on speculation;
5,000 American, at 4d. to 5i1.; 200 Bahia, at 6id.; 300
Egyptian, at 61d. to 9d. ; 200 Surats, at 3 d. ; and 250
Sea Island, at 10d. to ls. 4d. per lb. 200 of the latter
were taken on speculation. The market is firm.
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 IA as
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 L.) 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 inttances on record
which evidence the futility of early estimates. Accord-
ing to our general cotton table, the to•al receipts at al
the shipping ports, up to the latest dates, amount to
2,056,314 bales, against 2,417,812 bales at same time
last year—showing a deficiency of 361,498 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 Hamburgh, 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
Fate of the transfer of the Custom-house to the United.
States, of which there are no published accounts, but
which, as well as the stccks 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
yahies 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. Consoi Market has suddenly receded from 95i
to 954, 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 16s.
to 19s.
In the Foreign Stock earket there has been an im-
provement in Russian Bonds to 111 k, and in Mexican to
86i. Spanish Passives have been at ; the Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 59k, and the Four per
Cents. at 92k.
Most of the Railway Shares are in bad demand this
