The daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1848-1851, 1850-11-25

lst The supply of United States cotton has fallen
off hy about 100000 bales, but the deficiency has
been so far compensated by increased imports from
other countries as to reduce it to about $40 900
bales in the aggregate. ID. The deliveries of Uni
ted States cotton for consumption have decreased
by about $4,000 bales, but those of other descrp
tons have increased sufficiently to reduce the ag-
gregate deficiency 10 about 100000 bales only. Sd.
The stocks generally reduced ostensby by
about 10000 bales only; we say ostensibly, for
the reduction must be larger in reality The stocks
returned IN the continental reports do not generally
comprise those which are held in second, e. spec
uatorS and dealers hands; these stocks, when
prices are moderate, and when, as was the case
last year at this time favorable opinion is enter
tanned Of the article, are comparatively large, but
now 1t may be fairly assumed that such stocks are
all but exhausted. Our spinners must, also, have
had very moderate stocks on the first October, for
they had purchased only at the rate OF about ~ 800
bales per week for the ten weeks preceding the
date, and no reduction in the quantity consumed by
them had taken place except that some OF them had
changed from spinning low numbers of yarn to
finer numbers. Almost all the mills have been in
constant operation, and several large new ones
have been added in the course of The year.
I'VE think it may be assumed from the tOrego-
ing that the quantity Of cotton delivered during the
first nine months of the year fairly represents the
quantity converted into yarn ard into goods and
if so, we should have the following rate per week,
viz: of 80, $50 bales United States, 1862 bales
Brazil, 100 bales West Indies, ,795 bales East In
dies 4 4l0 bales Egypt, total AZ, 767 bales If we
had $4,000 bales for what has been consumed of
the direct import into Russia, Spain, and Genoa we
have weekly aggregate for Europe of 81, 300 bales,
equal to about 2,5l5,000 bales per annum. The
consumption of the United States having been
4SS,OOO bales, the grand total would amount, as
nearly as possible, to 900, 900 bales per annum,
" In the places OF production lot manutactures)
we hear, as yet, of no accumulation either of goods
or OF yarns but it must be confessed that several
transatlantic markets in North and South America,
Calcutta, and China, are represented fairly
stocked"
These remarks are important now English
agents swarmng back by every steamer from
Liverpool, with their breeches pockets cTammed
full Of orders, and busy telegraphing from every
place at which they stop to breakfast or ine for
fifteen minutes their route to their Southern
posts, that there has been no FROST the fields are
full Of flowers, the yield enormous, and several
fellow passengers had died OF sun stroke, etc.
The true policy Of planters is simply, mastery
S5sacttCitV. Don't forward bale to the ports that
can be avoided, there, the English harpies
consider it their own, much as if it the
railroad from Liverpool to Manchester. When the
true position of this crop is known in Europe,
prices will take rapid ascent and we look for
ttys11ty cents per Y0uli3 to be paid for fair quail
ties of New Orleans cotton, before the first of May
next. For two months to come, English agents
will be forwarding from this side, large estimates
Of the production, to scare off competition in their
purchases and to lower the Liverpool market, and
thus act on prices South. Every engine will be
brought into play Americans who will consent to
aid in this business will have their travelling
expenses paid, and allowance contributed for
losses by well placed bets, the the last
summer.
