TaiIS on 'CEinnge--Cotton.

" The very fine weather yesterday was one Topic iof
remark and the accounts OF rise IN the waters OIL the
Upper Mississippi another, not overlooking the very
great and important tributary Of the Lower MISSISSIPPI
Red River, of which we have attering accounts
From all accounts at hand cotton from northwest
Louisiana will be rapidly shipped to market. In fact
we have heard Of only few parties either in Mississippi
or in this State who have been holding back their cot
ton for higher prices, or to dictate terms 10 buyers
what they should pay for it. But the mass OF cutVa-
tors or planters have been willing to submit to the I'M
mutable laws Of supply and requirement. There nave
not been any combinations Or coalitions to run up
prices to counterfeit the movements and resolutions
on the other side of the water, particularly IN That
supposed to be fast anchored isle, Great Britain.
Whilst spinners in Manchester and dealers in Liver
poo have only been participating in our market TINS
season to very restricted limits, parties for the con-
tinent Of Europe have been operating at the current
prices basng their purchases on the well grounded
assumptions that real deficiency of growth has been
satisfactorily and fully demonstrated Not so with the
buyers of the English market They have through the
fall, from the time the first bale Of cotton was re-
ceiyed in market been assiduously decryng the est
mates of the growth impeaching every account from
the interior regarding the effects of storms of wind
and rain and barely giving the least particle OF ere
dence to assertions emanating from the most respecta
BILE cutivatols confirmed by the most respectable and
influential factors in our city,
Whilst all this doubt has been husbanded, buyers
for the different markets of continental Europe have
been iudiciousy purchasing for their constituents
unawed by the thunders of the Bank Of England and
its adherents, in creating what it is verify believed to
be- fictitious scarcity of money Norhave the repeat
ed demonstrations Of hostility aud ilfeelng towards
the great cotton interests been regarded with other
than mrthful regard by the cotton actorage commu-
nity of New Orleans Whilst we were Illuminating on
this news, distinguished individual salues us with
the remark chow is cotton ~ Well we could only reply
that cotton is cotton and it is likely to remain cotton
underline present indications of 1850 600 bales.
The large arrivals of vessels the past three days has
tended to restrain the advancing tendency OF reghts
Yet present rates pay well. Produce operators in the
West can send their large stocks of -four and grain to
this fcty with the assurance that all facilities for
transportation will be at hand and of course it is IN
necessary for US to refer to the very low rate of charges
which prevail here, compared with Northern marts
We can however, assure one thing, there will not be
any detention from ice or cold weaherin this market
The Northern mail failed again yesterday so far as
papers were concerned. The English papers due by
the Arabia made their appearance also, the letters
having been received on Saturday last Where is the
blame to attach
The next regular steamer from Liverpool will be thu
America due at Berlin via Halifax, to have left OF
he 9th inst.
