In the Railway Share Market the dealers and
speculators have been principally occupied with
the arrangements for the liquidation of the half-
monthly account, and, in some instances, prices a
have shown less buoyancy owing to a preponder- satt,
ance of sales. Caledonians, Eastern Counties, et
Great Westerns, and West Midlands, have de- Bst,
?dined 55., and South Westerns, and South :it
Easterns 10s., Midlands, however, improved 155., et
Lancashire and Yorkshire, 10s. ; and North- :it

previous prices ; Recife and San Francisco and San

without any material variation. London Joint-
Stock improved to 331 ; Union of London declined

AMERICAN CONFEDERATE STATE&

Subjoined is a communication describing the
motives !which the planters in the American Con-
federate States wish to be understood as the cause of 1,
their withholding their cotton from exportation :
" London, Oct. 28.

" Sir,—The erroneous belief is too generally entertained
in this country that we American cotton planters have com-
bined to hold back cur present corps for the purpose of
starving the cotton manufacturers of England and France,
and forcing these countries, by the pressure of a cotton
famine, to side with the Confederate States.

" I, as a planter, assure you, for myself (and, as far as
an extensive acquaintance among other planters enables me
to judge), that no such Machiavellian motive actuates us.
" With your permission I will state succinctly our true '
reasons for retaining our crops on our plantations :
" 1. In consequence of the blockade we'hava not suffi-
cient gunny bagging to cover more than a small portion of
our crops. It being a very bulky article is the more readily
excluded by the blockade. We are thus compelled to store
our cotton in the seed, and in this state it will best be pre-
served uninjured for years should our enemies prevent its
earlier shipment. ,
" 2. While the cotton is retained on the plantations we
are at no expense for storage or fire insurance at extrava-
gant ' war rates.' In the event of the country being devas-
tated by the Northern forces, they cannot visit each plan-
tation or carry off unpacked cotton.
" 3. There exists adequate storage accommodation but
for a very small portion of the crops at all the ports toge-
ther, and the existence of a large quantity at any port or
ports would be a positive temptation to the enemy to at-
tempt its capture and confiscation, involving not only a
heavy loss to us, but bringing devastation on the cities and
ruin to our friends residing there. The seizure the
10,000 bales (old crop) now lying at New o.rleans, is oof
ne of
the reported objects of the Northern expedition, which was
fitting out for that destination.
" 4. The cotton factors, many of whom have heavy
claims on the planters, have requested their debtors to re-
tain their produce on their plantations during the war, as
they are unwilling to risk it in their keeping at the shipping
ports.--I am, sir, your obedient servant,
"AN AMERICAN COTTON PLANTER."
