THE UNITED STATES.

By the South America and the Hibernia, both of which
arrived here on Tuesday, we have received New York
papers to the 1 gth ultimo inclusive. The following
are the chief contents :
NEW YORK MONEY MARKET.

(From the Morning Courier and Enquirer of June 19)
TUESDAY EVENING-JUNE 18.—The pressure, which has
existed in the Money Market for one week past, has been
apparently more severely felt within the last few days, and to-
day gave rise to quite a panic among the holders of Stocks of
most fancy descriptions, who showed an increased desire to
realize even at a considerable sacrifice on the reduced rates
of yesterday and Saturday. Sales were consequently made
at the following quotations, which show a falling off of 1
2 per cent., and in the case of Vicksburg Bank of 4 per cent.
on previous prices : Delaware and Hudson Canal Co. 70k,
Vicksburg Bank, 46i, Bauk of Kentucky 88, Mohawk,
Railroad Co. 61, Harlem Railroad Co. 50k, and Canton
Co. 381, seller 60 days. No sales of the United States Bank
were made, the quotation is 1171 offered, 119 asked ; Ston-
ington Railroad Co. 26 offered, 27 asked. Exchange on
London 91 per cent. premium, at which rate the Bank of the
United States continues to supply Bills.
In Cotton and Flour there is no new feature to report ;
the sales of Cotton are about 400 bales, at and in some cases
perhaps, a shade under Saturday's rates. Flour remains
dull at the previous rates, which however are uneven.
The accounts of the growing crops from nearly every sec-
tion of the country are most favourable.
The Macon Messenger of the 6th inst. says :—" The Wheat
crop in Georgia no doubt far exceeds any ever raised in the
State. It is probably about half now harvested, and in the
finest order—the present dry weather being highly favourable
to it. The Corn and Cotton Crops look well, though they
need rain, and it was thought would suffer materially, if the
drought should continue much longer."
The Nashville Banner of the 3d instant, has an item stat-
ing that in Tennessee never before was there so cheering a
prospect of the Cotton, Tobacco and Corn crops. The Wheat
and Rye crops are also fine. Oats in this immediate neigh-
bourhood would have been better for a little more rain.
The Illinoian, published at Jacksonville, (Fla) states that
the neighbouring Wheat crops bid fair to be abundant, and
unless some unforseen diaster should happen, the farmers
will abundantly reap the reward of their industry.

THE COTTON CIRCULAR.
To the Editor of the New York Evening Star.
I had supposed that my former communication of 11th
instant, relating to the cotton circular, would have satisfied
the editors of the Journal of Commerce, but in this expec-
tation it seems I have been mistaken. Had this journal con-
fined its remarks to statements founded on inference, I should
have disregarded their assertions as unworthy of notice, but
as they have assumed the reponsibility of using the expres-
sion " We know," it cannot be submitted to with impunity.
In their paper of yesterday is an editorial article containing
the following extract:
" Lastly, Mr. Dunlap, the President of the Bank, Mr.
Cowperthwait, the Cashier, and Mr. Bevan, of the Phila-
delphia house of Bevan and Humphreys, were all here and
spent the day on Thursday, and were in consultation with
Mr. Wilder and Mr. Rockwell, and we know that Mr.
Wilder was in consultation with Mr. Dunlap, with one of
these circulars in his hand."
In relation to the above I deem it my duty to say, and I do
it in the most explicit manner.
Ist. It is utterly false, that Mr. Cowperthwait was in the
city on Thursday, as stated above, or at any other time for
several weeks past.
2d. It is utterly false that Mr. Beven spent the day here
on Thursday. He was here, lam informed on Friday, but
I did not see him, nor did Mr. Rockwell see him, nor did
either Mr. Rockwell or myself know that he was here.
3d. It is utterly false that there was any consultation
whatever on any subject between Mr. Bevan, Mr. Cowperth-
wait, and Mr. Dunlap, or either of them, and Mr. Rockwell
and myself or either pf us.
4th. It is utterly false that I was in consultation with Mr.
Dunlap with one of the circulars in my hand. Mr. Dunlap,
it is true, was in the city from Wednesday afternoon until
about an hour and a half before his departure. I saw him
then only accidently for a few minutes, but at that time I
did not know of the circular,—had never seen it and never
heard of it. I did not know that it was either in existence
or in contemplation until Friday morning, when printed
copies of it were presented to me.
In conclusion, i now repeat what I stated in my former
communication, that the Bank of the United States had
nothing whatever to do with the circular so far as I know and
believe. S. V. S. w ILDER.

LOUISIANA.
FIRST ARKANSAS CARAVAN TO MEXICO. —About the
Ist of May a caravan with forty men and eighteen waggons,
besides a number of mules, left Van Buren, in the state of
Arkansas, fitted out by Messrs. Pickett and Gregg, of that
place, bound on a land voyage to Chihuahua, in the republic
of Mezico, with an assorted stock of merchandise, priom-

pally dry goods. About forty U. S. Dragoons, under the
command of Lieut. Bowman, were to meet them at Camp
Holmes. on the Canadian, 150 miles west of Fort Gibson,
to escort the caravan a portion of its journey through the
country of the wild Indians. The distance from Van Buren
to Chihuahua is about 700 miles ; but as that town is not a
port of entry, the caravan will necessarily first perform a
journey to Santa Fe, nearly 600 miles out of its way, in
order to enter their goods at the custom-house. Suitable
representations were made to the MeXican minister at Wash-
ington during the late session of congress, and there is every
prospect of Chihuahua being soon made a port of entry,
which will greatly facilitate the transmission of merchandise
to that portion of the Mexican dominions, where they must
be greatly needed—the recent blockade by the French having
been the means of keeping the whole country destitute of
the necessary and ordinary goods for wearing apparel.—Ar-
