COTToN-we left the market on Tuesday last with a
very fair enquiry, which resumed quite actively
Wednesday, but there general complaint the part
brokers thatthey found the market poorly supplied with
the qualities for which their orders called for wiz
Middling, Good Middng and upward and through this
deficiency and the full rates claimed the business of
the day confined to about 5000 bales the advantage
prices being still the side of factors On Thursday
the market again opened with very good enquiry, and
fair business going on when about the demand
stimulated into unusual activity by the receipt of the
Csnadss advices, which were looked upon in favorable
light inasmuch the Liverpool Cotton market had slightly
advanced notwithstanding confirmation of the reported
commencement of hostilues between Russia and Turkey
Under the influence Of this increased demand factors quite
readily disposed of round lists embracing low Cottons
were previously rather neglected and the sales reached fully
IA bales which much the largest days business Of
the season. Yesterday the enquiry less active and
general and at the same time the supply sale was less
ample while the rates demanded by factors more full
those obtained the business OF the pfev
Under these circumstances the sales were about 1900
baes making total for the past three days $4,000 bales
and for the week of bales taken for England France
Spain the Continent and the Nerth with lots sail
be speculation With respect TO prices have al
ready tmated the advantage has been the side of sell
lers from day to day. aud the advance within the week has
been fully l4@g1I cent = h. mostly within the past two
days. and the greatest improvement being in the Mddling
and better grades We alter quotations TO conform
nearly possible to the current though must
mark that find much diversity IN the representations of
different parties.
The question ofcrop which for some time past has been
nearly lost sight ofn the immediate pressure of other
influences seems TO be assuming position of
prominence in the calculations OF parties connected With
the trade in great staple. As we have already re-
marked previous numbers the prospects up TO about the
close OF August gathered from the reports OF the planters
themselves considered quite atterng for good yield
should the picking prove ropnoS but unfortunate
Nv the greater portion of the month of Sci rembe when dry
weather needed proved unusually rainy, and through
this cause picking interrupted and delayed the quail
ty of the Cotton injured and The prospects OF liberal
yield extent bghed by the shedding OF bos
the action of the '1o the rayages othe worm &C. which
the consequences OF excessive rams, Since Sepe
be however the weather has been generally favorable for
picking operations but the reports that in Of
damage bv frost oiwhich through the backwardnesS Of the
portion of the and the rank growth subsequent
y caused by the late rains the plant unusually
ceptbe) particularly Tennessee and North Mississippi
the region Of country tributary to Memphis, and also in
North Alabama Arkansas, &c ale considered 10 be so
well vouched for that reduced estimates of the crop
be quite general and we have already minated
appear be exercising influence upon the operations
parties connected with the trade and also to some extent
upon prices.
In respect the quality of present crop, is general
ly admitted to be the low est in rage of any that has
market least for many and in view Of the e1ce
sive proportion of m Cottons the receipts thus far and
the very limited demand for hem compared with the better
descriptions unusually vide difference IN price,
deemit not improper torepea the suggestion which We
took the liberty to make about month nce-yZ that 1t
might be well for planters far may be in their power
handle the remainder of their crops with view to qua
" as well as quantity.
