feeling now prevailing, as compared Win the last
four weeks is strikingly characteristic of the un-
certainty of the trade in this great staple COM
modify
Whilst it is admitted that even the largest esti-
mates of the crop would all be required to meet
the enormous consumption now going on, the fact
of advices pointing to heavy receipts for a few
weeks, flor it cannot be expected that they can
continue for any length Of tme,- seeing that in the
first twenty six weeks of the present season there
has been received at New Orleans alone nearly as
much cotton as during the whole of last year, and
no less than l65, 900 bales more than in 1849, the
receipts at other ports in 1849 being about the
same this year, has completely changed the tone
of those most interested, and many argue that
even lower rates must rule ere long if last Ameri-
can adyices are confirmed by subsequent arrivals
We deem this not unlikely, as imports now

holders certain to be free sellers, and the trade
holding sufficient supply to meet present neces-
sites are not likely to increase their stocks, long
as it their interest to defer purchases. This will
naturally have its effect with spectators, but we
incline to the opinion that no serious reduction
can take place. or, if SO, that it will as speedily
be followed by a reaction when receipts again be
gin to fall off.
The altered feeling in our Cotton market ha:
not been without its influence in the manufactur
ing districts, but, beyond creating little more
caution the part of those having orders to give
out, the change is scarcely perceptibla WheI
old contracts are expiring, buyers would have the

testifying to the facts of the rappings They have
been heard for a month from Monday evening last,
at all hours of the twenty-four. Sometimes the
raps, as represented to us, are l~ud and strong;
at others low and feeble; sometimes as few as
three or five; at others, going high as nine.
teen. Mr.. Keithly states that the first ntima
ton his family received of these noises was the
apparent walking of heavy man in his stocking
feet across an upper floor. This succeeded
at greater or less intervals, by noises in closets
and cup-boards, knockings on stair-steps; strik
ing and shaking of the bed-posts and bed steads
at night, when the family retired and in sundry
other ways. The house occupied by Mr.. Keithly
is his own, and was purchased about seven months
since so that it would seem he can have no pecu-
mary interest in these yisitations. TIL neighbor-

Wright, Candy & Co.'s Circular.

IL, j Z.
In our last Circular adyices, dated 9Th inst. per
Niagara, we reported large transactions in our
Cotton market for the week ending the 9TH, clos
ing on the first date with much frmness, and no
desire the part of holders to press sales, which
on that day were estimated at TO- 900 bales, at an
advance of / per lb. in rates during the week.
On Saturday the demand continued undated,
and sales were estimated at 10000 bales, at ex-
treme prices. The Canada arrived on Monday,
and Immediately succeeding the receipt of her &C
counts check was given to operations, which has
increased in importance as the week advanced, as
will be seen by the following record of daily sales
Monday 5000, Thursday 5000, Wednesday s.
900, Thursday 1000 bales.
The decline in prices is Id. per ID. in American
descriptions, particularly in the lower grades, but
even at this reduced quotation it is difficult to
make progress to any extent, as holders have sup
piled the market with late imports and more choice
isafforded to purchasers. We would also remark,
that in dull market classification is scarcely SC
strictly adhered to as when a brisk inquiry pre-
walls
The total sales of the week sum up to SIS, 90G
bales, of which 5000 are to spectators, and
4l90 to exporters, and include 81, 100 bales A
merican, of which spectators have taken 99lC
and exporters 1850 bales Imports for same time
amount to 32,447 bales, of which 80, 267 are
American.
To-day the sales are estimated at 1000 bales,
1000 to spectators and exporters,) at the lowest
rates of the week

in a tone and spirit which the writer, well as
