New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1856-11-06

It is almost unnecessary to remark that tue Chief
topic yesterday change, on the streets here there
and everywhere, the result Of the election. Po
luminous dispatches and accounts by telegraph have
been coming to hand since night before last purport
ing to be from almost every State in the Union, and
newspaper propretors have had some accesslons to
their expenditures, and the telegraph companies reap
the harvest We really consider the accounts which
have been received not worth the paper used in giving
them publicity We may know who is to be the next
President by next Tuesday IT, however the question
had been left to tile registered and legal voters of
New Orleans, Willard Fillmore might be considered
the next President-having received Il majority of
the votes of the city, say 6052 out Of 92l regis
tered votes.
The cotton and general produce market was quiet
yesterday. The European advices up to the 22d ult
from Liverpool have only had partial effect though
the accounts purportins to come by the last arrivals
quote Middling cotton i'll Liverpool at G5d. Yet we
recommend those interested to wait and see If they
will be confirmed. The regular correspondence is
made up in Liverpool for this side Fridays, though
we sometimes get some information intermediate
days and through other mediums. Unless the mar
kets in England advance the shipping of cotton hence
is likely to prove losing business but the advance
so confidently expected moves at Il snails pace For
weeks and months following the month of June Mid
ding cotton was quoted at SIG to g and it has
now got up to 7-l6, according to the last regular
circular of Messrs. Brown, Shipey & Co., of 18th
October which is believed to be undoubel authority
If it moves upward with no greater speed than this,
how long will it take to cover &c., with freight at
l5-32d and s. per cent. exchange-this latter high
figure? We nude to the present position Of the mar
ket to remove those impressions which are gaining
ground in the country, and of which we have been
recently informed that planters were expecting to
realize Is to l4c. for Middng cotton. We are aware
that letters emanating from this city have encouraged
these high wrought expectations and which in the end
may be productive OF injury and disappointment.
Another view another side of the question must be
treated with some regard The stock is increasing
and if it continues to accumulate for the next five
six weeks in the same ratio it has for the month
past the whole trade will be under the control of
Manchester spnncrs, Liverpool spectators and their
adiuncts in New York. The stock of cotton in ware.
houses and on shipboard on the 4th October was
7S,S4S bales. To-day it will be 220 900 bales being
an increase for the month of LII GOO bales. With the
unsettled state Of financial and even political affairs i'll
Europe it is idle for planters to encourage the hope
that l34 to l5c be realized this season for cotton.
Their interests are in safe keeping with the cotton
factors of our city.
The receipts yesterday were light being by the
Gem, from Nicksburg, 2,779 and tao bales by St.
Louis boat.
The mail due yesterday again failed from beyond
Augusta, Ga, and there will be the regular failure
tomorrow the Post Office authorities will notice that
their contractors require some reproof or censure
with fine or two. The Canada's advccs are due at
Halifax, and we may get them to-day if the election
items do not monopolizc the telegraph wires.
