The prices of cotton have experienced
so great a reduction from the partial re.
moval of the embargo, that mary mills
which had, on account of the previous
high prices, been at a stand, are now a.

wiz follow. The late h'gh prices have,
however, attracted supplies from unusual

A further reduction in prices therefore is
looked for, ii our supplies from the Uni.
ted States become again considerable, and
our Intercourse with the Continent CON-
tiOues to be interdicted.

looks very promising, exceeds tina of any
