PRICE Or COTTON.—NEW YORK, DEC. 4.—The pre-
vailing interest, at this stage of the season, is to en-
courage over• estimates of the probable yield, to induce
an early delivery and very low prices, knowing that
when the sad position of this crop is properly understood
abroad, a wild scramble for a share of it must inevitably
ensue. I may occasionally slightly vary the relative
figures I now affix; but I feel well assured I cannot add
any thing to New Orleans and Mobile combined, which
must close under 1,23 0,000 bales.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] - riclloway's Ointment and
Fills have cured a Bad Leg after every other Remedy had
failed.—John Eastman, Esq., of Buenos Ayres, states to Pro-
fessor Holloway, in a letter dated 11th September, 1850, that
a native gentleman of that place hurt his instep some time ago,
in consequence of which a wound soon formed, and gradually
increased, until it spread from the foot to the knee. lie was
under the medical attendance of a native doctor for several
months, but his remedies had no good effect whatever; he
therefore deemed it advisable to have recourse to Holloway's
Ointment and Pills, which have effected a perfect cure of his
leg, and he now enjoys the best of health..—Sold by all Drug-
