LITE FROM PRINCE.

j Paris dates to the 10th Oct. but not an ar.
/ ticle Of News ofthe least public interest.
\ short harvest appears to hayebeen ge
lnerally apprehended in France, as well
As in England. 167 out of 258 members,
of which the new chamber of deputies is
composed, were OF the last chamber,
which was dissolved 5th Septembe., by
the ROYAL mandate, 1t is reported in
the Paris papers, that the governor of
tSmyrna has been beheaded, Tor affording
an ASYLUM TO the exiled French Gene
rails Savary and Lallenand.
The following commercial letter. by
the Isabella, has been politely loaned US
| for insertion in the Courier:
Hare, Oct. 81.
- The time approaching when the new
lcrop of cotton will influence our market,
lye take the liberty of offering our OPT
mon upon that article in particular, and
lindpins so shall touch upon such others
as we think worthy of consideration.
| Cotton has experienced demand. and
maintained itself ina manner far beyond
the expectation OF the most intelligent Vi
sitors of the market; the quantity manu-
featured for expectation has been ycrv
considerable, but the amount Of the arr
walls has not exceeded our CONSUMPTION,
and the manufacture, have found means
to employ Georgia and New Orleans
where formerly Brazil Cortons onlyw we're
used. This accounts for the Compare
tive high prices United States Ccttons
have enjoyed ; bnt one also very inlpor-
taut reason of the rise since tie BEGIN
ming of the year, is the general OPT
Mon which prevailed in this country aud
| in England, that the arrivals would not
be sufficient to supply the wants of Eu
rope. The stock ar this moment in
/. France does not exceed about $4,000
bags, OF Which we may calculate I4.UOo
bay. for the provision OF this market,
which forms an aggregate stock OF every
! description of cotton, We calculate t,at
this cou"try will require darins ffe next
year about 4O.00G,000 lbs cofton of all
sorts. tor her cwn CONSUMPTION, and for
transit, 25,000,0OO lbs of this quantity
willhe required in U. State cotton. The
ipri es of February and March we expect
i@ill be Is follows, namely. for Bowels
40 IS soils. and ew-Orieans 4s and
IS soils. Bowels may experience de,
cline to 40 soils and New-Oregns in pro-
portion, but there will always be sstfi
cient buyers to leanimate the market.
} We have certainly to anticipate that the
quantity imported into Hayre will be
more considerable than the arrivals dur.
ing the present year, from the circum.
stance OF your crop being more plentiful;
but the demands of the manufacturers
will be more extensive, especially as we
think export orders Will be Of greater
magnitude than they have been in the
course OF the last twelve months.
RICE is an article which will be of
the greatest Importance along with cotton
;, in 1917. For the very tad weather we
! hal throughout the last summer, and re-
markably 50 at the time IF the Harvest,
has ljured oar Wheat Crop much more
generally than was at first feared and
We may add, to such a degree that we
are convinced France viii find herself
necesstated TO import largely, instead of
being, as has been almost uniformly the
case, the store for other countries to ap.
ply to. We are in fact aware that the
! French government will be obliged to
make extensive provision elsewhere to
guard against scarcity, which without
such precaution would without doubt
traRspire. Italy and Spain will require
also Observation-Disclosures, tie country
which possess an abundance will advance
the prices of gram in proportion to the
business done in the article-and for our
selves. we look forward to high quota
tions in this commodity. Under these
circumstances, Rice must experience am
additional demand, and we really think
New Carolina will soon obtain SO to 56t,
lin oona. We mast here mention that
there is not barrel of Rice left in our
bonded stores, and that the quantity Oh
hand for home consumption comprises
ioaly few small lots, which the holders
refuse TO SSH,
| TOBACCO can be sold only to the
government. The last sales 20 the Reggie
were at the following pr.ces, assorted IN
frst, second and third quaIity-Vrsinia
! 1855 to 140f. /; North Carolina, $50 lS6 t.
South Carolina, 100 to l25f. /; Geor-
i is, ll5 to 100 Kentucky, 10 to 1891.
| We calculate that Government will re-
quire during the next year, about Is,
100000.
