Your petitioners are aware that the "Mis-

d. Il. SteUeas, Esq, Editor Of ihe Whir:
Dear Sir: ~ this conveyance send the
Commercial netin of to-day, to which ask
reference for the course of our markets.
You will perceive that the Cotton market.
tor the past week, has been rather animated
in consequence Of the appearance of buyers
for the English and Continental markets.
and fully &c. advance was realized on the
mddling tqmiddling fair qualilies OH yesrer-
days operations. The extremes run from
8dl2R but most of the sales are principally
confined 10 the qualities just above named,
which are quoted at 84G9Ac. We have no
laler advfces than those brought OUT by the
Columbia, TO the 5th Oct.,l but antic pate
news by the Great Western in day or two,
The accounts when received will not, pre-
sumo, vary materially from those last receiv-
ed, and the impression with a good many
prevails here, that no considerable advance
can take place this season-notwithstandin
the anticipated shOrtness of the crop of your
State-the crops Of Alabama, Georgia and
South Carolina are said to be large; and if
this should turn out TO be the case, the dimi-
mutton in the entire crop will not be sufficient
TO effect any material change in prices.
The suggestions offered by the Board of
Bank Presidents, in reference TO a return to
specie payments, have not been acted on by
the directory of the different Banks of the
city; but, presume, will be adopted aud
unless compulsory measures are resOrIed to
by the Legislature, the first day of November,
i842, will be as early a day as we may look
tor SO desirable state of things.
Very respectfully.
