With respect to the Cotton market here and in Am
rica, the following remarks are contained in a paper re,.
ceived this morning from New York :—" Notwithstano,
ing the droughts, freshets, the additional extent 7;
soil put under cultivation last spring, for this 010,4
sufficient to ofroiet any very serious damages thit 1e".4
have been suffered In many sections, In many seaso.,
past, speculations have from time to time increase:
the prices, and favourably iolluenced the average for the
year, but we have, at present, 1,,s
_evidence that t
slightest speculation will affect the yield ,e."fm the 115
crop. The production has now reached a point;
cannot be controlled. When the United States In:.
was in the market as a speculator in the article, tr
crops were very small compared with those of the prOieot
day, and, of course, the quantity to control le0:
In 1835 the crop was only 1,361,000 bales; in Is;
1,423,000 bales ; in 1837, 1,801,000 'bales ; wher:ll:
the crops of recent years have been immense. Is 17,,,
the 3.1e1d was 2,379,000 bales, nearly double the quall_mt";
produced in 1835 ; in 1843 the yield was 2,025,01
bales I but we should judge the crops of 1844 would eqt
fall far short of 2,500,000 bales, and it is possthl,e,:i.
may exceed that. We see by these returns the tlrt
impossibility of monopolising or controlling a stale
quantity to govern the market and advance prices.
have no banking institutions of capitals or credits inn
cient to come forward and control the crop. There
too great a distribution of capital to perfect any coral*.
nation large enough to create much speculation.

The cargo of oranges in Eleanor and Fa al via South,(
