231 ult., amount to 5,000 bales. The market has been
very irregular, and on the 23d was much depressed, mid-
dling Upland having been sold on that day at 9.1 e. ; strict
ditto, 9i to 94c., good, 10c. ; and middling fair 104 e. The
week ending 26th, closed subsequently with more enquiry
and on an improvement on the lowest previous sales, of
lc. To-day holders have been firm, but buyers having
tilled their open orders, await late advices from Liver-
pool, and little has consequently been done, the. sales
reported on 'Change being, only 250 bales. While the
uncertainty exists as to the probable extent of crop, it
may be interesting as bearing upon the subject, to look at
the receipts!at the ports subsequent to date for the past
five years. The receipts at all the ports on the 23d inst.
is stated in the N. Y. Price Current to be 2,225,631
bales :

If we take the average of the receipts from Feb. 23d to
Sept. Ist, of the past five years, namely, 953,423 bales,
and add it to present receipts, it would give us for the
crop of 1852-3, 3,179,057 bales; and with all the facts
before us in relation to the inducements and facilities this
season, for marketing the crop, what is the most rea-
sonable conclusion in regard to subsequent receipts com-
pared with the subsequent average receipts of the past five
years. It will be well, we believe, for those interested to
pause before submitting to panic prices; and reflect that at
least 3,250,000 bales will this season be required for the
consumption of the world at the present scale of prices.
