The value Of exports for the week was $500 $751; Of
which $23e,407 were shipped in American vessels and
$50 $50 in foreign vessels This 10 very small weeks
business and In the face of the liner sasd imports would
lead to more rapid expectation Of specie than
have heretofore anticipated It not that the ship
ments of produce from other ports have been and
tinue to be quite large, Notwithstanding the great de-
probation in value The expectation Of cotton has this
year been exceedingly large, compared with last Up to
the close Of the third week in October period Of little
less than two months the shipments Of this staple have
bsen more than double those for the period last

tide who can hold will do We therefore, leoS for
falling of in the shipments Of this staple; and there
is no immediate prospect of any Improvement in the de-
insnd there must be a further depreciation in prices
Cotton is 81 present and has, for time post been
exceedingly low, but nothing likely to prevent
further depreciation Those able TO hold for length
OF time will make money upon prises shove those
now ruling; but boss have any fears Of being
psed to sell within the next ak month";, had better
deliberate calmly upon the policy OF doing so at once
rather than writ the probable depreciation which may
within that time, be experienced. Cotton and corn
two very different staples In periods Of monetary
crisis demand for the former depends upon so many
contingencies thatit great actuatons while
the latter depends entirely upon the dsmanA for
consumption; from which there is no appeal no escape
