S1R-We advised YOU of The state of
our markets on The 18Th inst. since then.
we regret 10 say, that business has been
Ill most depressed state, and almost
every article al Produce has been ipflu-
enced by the general scarcity of money
among comRercial men. We do NOT even
see any immediate prospect of improve
meh', as the stocks of produce are so
heaVy, and capital so much taken I'D in
advances upon them, together with the
Srea losses that have already taken place
upon most articles, that the spirit of spe-
culaiTon Is al an end for The present. and
u VIII require a considerable time to res
'ore confidence, either in the market or i'm
the mercantile community.
Since our last, New Orleans and Upland
C"ttons have declined about ID per pound
owing III great degree to the causes we
have mentioned, and the continued sup
plies that arrive almost daily.-As these
tar exceed the consumption ihev must

IN port, prices are susceptible OF even d
inrlher decline-the growth of Cotton in
lndla appears 10 increase rapidly, and is
now estimated al above $50, 900 bales an
nnaily, which $50 900 will find their
way 10 this couniry-feur wears ago.
80, 200 bales only were imported from
thence.
Tobacco, although tolerably steady in
price, continues ina very limited demand,
and 10 attain something about present
prices Tor good proportion ofthe stock
on hand prior 10 the arrival of the New
Crop III Sept. is as much as we can posi-
bly, expect under any circumstances, OF
increased demand for the next few months
and we are strongly of opinion that the
new crop must come in for lower prices
then, unless The supplies fall very shor, of
what Is al present calculated upon. Our
ports are not likely 10 open i'm Nav. 10

favourable, they are evcg likely 10 remain
