DEAR SIR We refer to our respects per lasc
steamer, since which we are without advices from
you, and have OF much Of interest to communicate
The annexed General Brokers' Circular will show
/ you the state of our markets. Cotton IL about
fourth dearer than it was two weeks ago; this adj
vance took place during the week ending the 25th
ult., whenthe sales were $4,000 bales, of which
$4,000 on speculation and the imports $4,000 bales.
During the week ending yesterday, the sales were

States than last year at this time. Our consumption
is much increased; the trade appear TO have taken
