owe have already addressed several OF our
friends more than once by this opportunity,
in consequence Of a very unexpected deten-
ton for some days BY adverse winds. We
hope, however, that our further advices will
not be unacceptable, as they convey the &C
count of more general improvement in the
leading articles of American produce, cir.
cumstance which We have not for a long time
past, had the pleasure of communicating.
From the great defalcation which has taken
place in our imports of Cotton, during the last
two months, Ga cause which is now operating
in greater or less degree, upon almost every
article of American produce) and prevail
ing opinion that the supplies, under existing
circumstances, must necessarily continue to
be limited, very evident change has Of late
been produced in the minds OF both buyers &
sellers.-Several large purchases have accord
ingly been made upon speculation, and the
dealers have also been induced to come for
ward with more spirit than we have witness
ed for long time past. We might However,
naturally expect from the same feeling, on
the part of the holders, an increasing reluc-
lance to sell, and owing to this circumstance,
the sales have been less extensive, than we
are persuaded, would otherwise have been
the case. We estimate our imports of every
description since the lst of September, at a
bout $1,000 packages, whereas the quantity
sold, in the same period, of all kinds amount
to nearly $1,000, making an excess above
our supplies of about $4,000 bags. The i'm
provement which has taken place, extends
to the prices of every kind of Cotton, and the
advance upon the middling and good quail
ties of UplAnds and New Orleans, which have
been more particularly in request, is fully e.
quail to Id to | lad per ID. We may now
quote Uplands at lS lid to l.4d-New-Or-
leans I'D to l5d-Sea Islands I'D to 24d,

to Is lad per ID. How long the animated de-
mand, which is at present experienced, may
continue to operate, it is impossible to con-
lecture but if we may reason from past ex-
perience, we should be inclined to anticipate
ere long either temporary pause or total
reverse-uniess further stimulus should in
the mean time be received, either from still
greater diminution of the supplies, or from
the influence of some political event.
"Our stock of Ashes has lately been very
much reduced, and we have scarcely any of
the prime qualities on sale, as the late arri-
walls, which have been of a very trihing ma
ture have brought none of this description.
Pearl Ashes, in particular, are almost exclu-
slvely held by spectators, who are enabled
IN consequence to obtain AS to ass. Fresh
Boston pots are worth 4ls to AS, New-York
4os to Ais, and such as are stained and
ed rate from 32s to Cos per cwt.
Turpentine has been gradually improving
tor the last ten days, and we have obtained
l9s per cwt, for a small and very fine parcel.
The spectators, however, are not wiling to
give this price, and consignment, since ar
rived, is unsuccessfnlly held at the same rate
here, in all hands, is supposed to
be fully $4,000 barrels.
Very little American tar remains in this
market, and the fine descriptions of roaity
Virginia are held at AS RI az Will. New
