not vary more than ID. until the end of April,
when 1t became evident that the crop had either
been over estimated, or that from the low stare
OF the rivers, the cotton could not reach the
sea ports. At the same time money became
more plentiful, the bank Of England reduced its
rate of discount, spectators operated to large
extent, and with sales from 100 900 TO sc, 900
bales per week, prices rose gradually to 3D. for
mlddling Orleans on the 18th June. Spinners
beng then stocked, and spectators turning
sellers, prices gradually declined to Sd. at the
end of September, when with the tightness in
the money market, and the rise of the rate of
discount by the bank to 6@7 per cent, specu-
lators became alarmed, and prices rapidly de-
clIned to SD. for middling Orleans in the latter
part OF October. At this time the panic sub
sided, and the following fortnight prices ad-
