THE COTTON TRADE.

In accordance with an annual custom, the De.
eember humber of Hunts Merchants Magazine
furnishes paper on the eoufs, Of the cotton trade
for the past, and s prospects for the coming year
We shall, as usual, present TO our readers tho
statistics and estimates Of tho writer
The chief influences which, during the past
year, affected our great staple, and which have
to considerable extent balanced each other. were
the certainly Of short crop and the scarcity Of
food In Enfope-the ono tending continually to
produce rise, aud the other eounleraeting this
tendency by advancing tho rates Of freight, and
diminishing the consumption Of the manufacturers
According 10 tho table of Wright & levin, the
New York prices for fair Orlsaus cotton have
varied, from january 10 September, only lto,
which Is less than Is per cent on the lowest rates
The new commercial year has however, opened
unfavofably for the cotton trade, Though the
stock IN European markets is light aud the pros.
peel Of abundant haryesis fair the demand for the
staple has been seriously cuflailrd by commercial
emhaffAssments IN Great Britain, languid trade
IN the manufacturing districts, and the probability
Of an average eotten crop
In estimating pflees for the eoming year, the
writer takes several important consideration. lulo
view. First, the amount o stock In tho Liverpool
market, which was about 400 900 bales IN the
middle Of October, being 10000 less than the
stock al The previous wear; neat the supply Of

From India the receipts have largely increased
during the present year, and the crop is estimated
