THE CEOP.—The accounts from the south are Wahl
unsatisfactory, and we are receiving particulars of injuries
by rain and worm from a greater portion of the cotton-
growing districts than at any previous time this season.
It is generally conceded that the position of the crop is
now two weeks later than at the corresponding period last
year, owing to the recent rains having caused the plant to
run too much to weed, instead of making fruit,- and
thereby rendering a late fall the more necessary to ripen
the lately formed bolls, At Baltimore, on Monday night,
there were two days' later accounts from the south, to the
following effect :—General complaint is made at the south
of damage to the cotton crop from excessive rains, which
tend to confirm the reports already to hand during the

last few days

improved, but no new feature to notice. The transactions

MOBILE, Sept. 9.—There is a complete stagnation, and
almost an entire suspension of business in the market,
owing mainly to the prevalence of fever. A few bales of
the new crop were sold at prices equivalent to 91c. for
middling, but the number was altogether too limited to
form a basis for quotations. No freight up for Liverpool.
