On Thursday, the 9th instant, we were- placed in pos-
ession of the America's advices, and but little was done that
day—the total baps not exceeding 500 bales. On Frid_ay there
was a more general inquiry both from expel
trade, and the sales ran up to nearly Mg 9..
closing with steadiness, and as the prey___„
which had accumulated were disposed of to a eonsiderable ex-
tent, holders succeeded in making better terms later in the
day. On Saturday the sales were 200 bales, with s steadier
market. Yesterday, 2500 bales were sold with a steady and
rather firm tone, entirely for export.".

" We have had several4accounis of killing frosts in Georgia
and South Carolina the last week, and from some sections are
assured it was undoubtedly sufficiently severe to check vegeta,
tion ; as.yet we have bad nothing authentic from the great val-
ley of the Mississippi, although I think it quite probable that
we shalL soon hear of its appearance there, but not in season to
fix tie date for the average cotton belt for this packet. From
the forward state of the plant, however, I do not attach as
much importance to the precise date of its appearance as I did
last season.—ln my circular under date of 22d August, I_ called
your attention to the fact that I was advised by ray corre-
spondents at the south west, that the weed generally in that
important section was not so large, nor better boiled than it
was last year,'—the accounts I have continued to receive as the
season has advanced have confirmed this important fact, and I
felt it my duty to combat the extravagant estimates so freely
circulated in September of 2,900,000 and 3,000,000_1)41es as being
uncalled for by any unbiassed view of the condition of the
plant, and a due consideration of the amount of negro force
employed in the culture. Since that date tale ripening and
picking season has continued uninterruptedly fine, and has
been availed of to the utmost extent, yet, the popular estimates
of the crop do not appear to be extended. I can now only re-
iterate the opinion I advanced in a subsequent circular, under
date of the 19th September, that For a crop of 2,80,000
bales, it will be requisite that the picking se- should at
least be mat rin+a +s—

negro face enough intiiecolinTrijto do 'it by that time isex-
tremely problematical. And it must be noted, that last season
the weather was so mild, that under the. stimulant of good
prices, many fields were advantageously picked as late as

bruaii and the early part of March, which is not aiarliikeTy.
to be the case with this crop.' "

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.
The firmness noted in the flour market on Saturday conti-
nued to-day. The article was held so high as to check pur-
chases for shipment. The lots disposed of were chiefly effected
for home use, and to the eastern trade. Southern brands con-
tinued quiet at about the quotations of Saturday, holders asking
a fraction more. Sales of Wheat were made at about the sates
of last week, including both Western and Genesee. Corn con-
tinued firm, but sales were not very large. Rye was a shade
better. There was no change in oats. Provisions remained
about the same, with moderate sales of pork. Lard was rather
dull, with sales at about last week's rates. There was a better
inquiry for beef, witty TO= more doing, Groceries were in-
