Remarks.-We have no, much TOO add
to our remarks Of las, Tuesday, OIL the
subject Of cotton. The markets, from
which we have heard, have left the unfa-
vorablc o recently received from
Europe. The price Of tho article bad
receded. aud operations had almos, entire
" ceased. holders not being willing to
concedo tie decline asked for by buyers.
Only forced sales were effected. Ia this
condition Of the markets, which is nearly
the condition Of the markets, which is
nearly the condition Of ours, every n
will look now for further accounts from
Europe. which may be expe c,ed in a Few
deys. We must confess that there is some
doub. in the plan pursued by some holders
o fkeepine back their cotton for better &C
counts and prices; yet we must acknowl-
edge, that this plan would be the one we
would ourselves pursue, especially il We
could keep back sales for a few months.
We are confident that the panic which
has occurred in the European markets
will subsidc. and that a better feeling will
arise, which will establish prices or the
true proportion Of supply and demand.
When they will DO Informed in Europe,
that, large as our crop will certainly be. it
will no, 10 beyond, or at least a very TIL
fling amount, the estimate made a few
months ago, and Of which they were ap-
rrised in Europe, better calculations will
DO made, aud more confidence will be cre-
alcd in the prices that n better knowledge
Of the amour, Of production aud Of The
amoun, needed for actual consumption will
establish. This panic in the European
markets should not alarm US, but. on the
other hand, shoyld we learn by The next
arrival from Europe, that q reaction has
occurred. il will DO the province Of pru.
deuce to keep cool, aud not run away, and
loo fast, with the favorable news We might
receive. And il is our opiniun that a few
circumstances might produce a Reaction.
A few orders on The manufacturing dis
lric,s for goods or twist, either for China
and South America, or for the moth oil
| Europe, might contribute 10 an improve
menl in the price Of the raw material. The
Information that the crop of this country
will not extend TO $500. 900 bales NIGH
exercise also some influence. And the
prospect Of Parliament adopting orn mo.
diicaiion Of the corn laws, and some o,hei
measures calculated 10 relieve The people
from their present distress, would no doubt
have much efec, in creating greater &C
tiviiy in the manufacturing districts
These are suggestions which may be re-
allied. The next account will relieya Us
from the ansoris;niy which exists al re.
CARDS the future condition Of tho cotton
markets 10 Europe.
Coltoa--Thc recent news has p~aralizct
operations in our market, which has re-
coded nearly three quarters Of cent. A
few sales have been made, al a decline
but generally planters do not appear viii
ling to sell Dow; the cotton iu the var
houses has been ordered TO be kept out o
the market. aud when II arrives it 10 stored
The receipts have been light for a few
weeks past by the rail road and by wagons
some cotton is to come in by boats, bu
the quantity is not large. We omit quo
taiions. as no rates eau DO established il
the present condition Of the market. We
hope it will be in our power 10 give a bet
ter reviow Of our market next Thursday
than we are enabled TO do TO day.
