COTTON.-Last year 4 sbon', 10Y, ,S'.

had some salutary effect, it apns s ss
the general opinion is now IN am., a''
that cottons will fall there to reasn. ..is,'
prices the next season. But. AZ n,sl
considered as reasonable there mi r"us
again prove so on this side of the WV Wy
we beg once more to submlt 10 on, i,; .a.
the following reflections. intended ,o " .,aj
their Judgment upon this imporlautnss uss
The fact OF The annual increase in Il.
raising OF cotton, not only in the Uui,sS
States, but in other countries, where ,Is
climate allows the cultivation Of that nl,r W.
especially in the Brazis. admits Of no 'u @n'
tradiction and that the general con,nmn
ton Of that staple is very lar from kesp.
ing pace with the growth OF it. is anolIs,
important fact which is proved beyond dr.
pute, by the increase OF he stocks, in M
different European markets, from one w.,
to another.
From these considerations, The corq.
quences 10 be expected cannot be douh.
full, and ne have no hesitation in sayiw
that they must occasion further decline
throughout the ensuing year, in cur PIE.
sent prices which are Cos to 29s for Up.
lands, and 25s TO 27s for LOuisianas, al
duty paid.
These are the selling prices for lois o!
from ordinary 10 fair quality. which gene.
rally constitute the bulk OF The crops, and
we not lake INTO view the extraordinary
rates that are obtained here and there 70
few cullcd lots which are not procured
besides in America, without proportion
ate difference in the purchase price,
We shall close these remarks by a stale,
ment OF the situation 81 our cotton market
at the end Of last month, by which Wshnd
LIST. that the stock of United States cOlOr:
al this date was 6338 bales larger lhanst
the same period last year; although thtle
was dmunition ia the imports Of The
same cottons between the AFORESAID PEI
RODS, of 9452 bales; whence there lOl'
lows, so far, a decrease in the consuI0p1
ton of United States cotton, at this port,
this year, OF nearly 5000 bales. ydIy'
that in the imports of all sorts OF coons
there was also at the end oil August, ace
crease of SGT bales and in lbe genet
stock of cottons an increase OF 1867 bale
But the balance OF imports having tee
principa ally made up by Brazil Co'lSns, :
follows again that there has been dunE
the first eight months Of this year, 70.
in the general sale Of cotton !
this port Of 5000 to 5000 bales.
From al! tie information that we, nave
taken the pains TO collect on TINS su.so :"
we are not warranted to calculate upoa t y
increase in the demand for cotton a. nS
