Correspondence Of the Advertiser.

Mr.. EDIToH,-Our Cotton Market has been
slowly but steadily declining the last two weeks,
quotations ranging from 10 to l2i cents. Tho
heavy stock in Liverpool, together with increased
receipts in this country compared with last year
and the general opinion that planters are prepar-
ing to plant largely, bids fair TO keep the prices
Of our staple lcctlc taco lOe for the pockets o
those vino have been dealing in the article oflatc
While Cotton is declining provisions arc advan-
cling. Would it not be well for Planters to con.
slider this and plant more largely Of Corn, and
less Of Cotton.
No news Of the atlantic yet.
