prices ranging from to etc.
New Orleans agency is announced, which pro-
poses to test the practicabilty and advantages of
direct cotton trade between the Southern States and
the continent of Europe The National IntelIigencer
has been informed that recent letters from stable
and cautious German capitalists deem the present
time especially favorable for commencing direct
cotton trade with Germany, and express their con-
victiOn that it will advance the interests of the
planters. The correctness of these views can only
be tested by experiment. Our planters, of course,
will not hesitate to avail themselves of every means
! that promises success in the establishment of new
markets for their important staple.

The quarterly meeting Of Ironmasters of Great
Britain was held at Birmingham Oh the llth of
October. Pig Iron scarce, and the wOrkmen
in some departments had obtained an advance
in their wages. A large proportion Of the Iron
masters desired an advance of e. per ton, and
several OF the leading makers refused to sell under
an advance of sos per ton on the previous quar-
ters prices; but in consequence Of the increase in
the rate of discount by the Bank of England,
caused by the export of gold to the Continent, it
was considered more prudent to declare the advance
81 per ton only, although several makers refused
to sell on these terms.

las county KY, from$4 to S. per cwt gross.

CLOVER SEED-The Clover crop in Kentucky and |
Indiana is reported almost entire failure and
a gentleman recently from Ohio informs US that the |
crop in that State is very short, and as a conse-
quence, the price of seed must rule high. The

ders are unwilling to sell under the influence Of
the advces regards the new crcp, and the old
