New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1856-10-14

On the streets on change, here. there and every
where the chief topic of remark is the Weather-the
effects of the recent frost or rather the frost on the
night of the 3Oth ult, on the cotton crop. Many
persons do not yet believe there sufficient frosto
inure the growing cotton. The receipts OF the ar
tice were very light yesterday, being only l425 bales
The general feeling towards it by buyers was not so
free as last week. There several parties ready to
enter the market at a decline from present prlces
and of course we have to hear of some very decided
advance on the other side before it will be safe of
buyers to purchase largely on speculation though on
orders they may and then venture But 1t IS I'M
possible for operators to purchase all cotton that
comes to market and hold for 4 rise. This would re-
uure rather more money titan even the Bank OF Eng
land could well advance at this Junct1rc. we nave
felt the effects of banks advancing on cotton of mo-
nopolizng and specializing purposes III the actoh OF
the United States Bank of Philadelphia years ago,
and some of the banks of this city under the old
regime. We desire never again to hear OF a bank ell
terng the cotton III; l.ze The following are the quo
tations for midding cotton i'll this market at the re-
| spectiye periods:

So it will appear that planters cannot have the least
com olain but what any deficiency will more than be
covered by the advance in price. Factors generally
have managed the market thus far with consunnate
ability and shrewdness. We shall know in about
thirty DAYS how Mr. Bull receives their address. But
it will be the first Of the next year before the is
fully developed here concuuenty with the other side.
The present and expected prices will undoubtedly
stimulate the product next year to the fullest extent
and resources OF the country and undoubtedly call III
to reqriisition much land in this State, heretofore de-
voted to sugar, to the product OF cotton.
The sugar cane is progressing as well as could be
expected under the many vicssitudes which it has
undergone through the entire season. The estimates
of 100 goo hhds as the crop of the State are still
maintained If consumers have not yet realized high
prices, they may have the opportunity the coming
year. We have been examining some Of the sc-c;led
Muscovado sugar recently imported, and more trashy
dirty compounds we seldom have met with. They
are nearly as inferior as the Manila and Calcutta
sugars which were always considered half sand. Ou
country after having for many years been favored
with good, clean article OF sugar, tile product O
our own State, will find it extremely difficult to recon
Gle the trash which will be consigned in place of tn
pure saccharinc of the Pelican State. Come, let u
have Cuba and we shall have an abundance Of goo
sugar. and Louisiana will aid to extend the cultiya
); ton of cotton sufficient to supply all the world.
o The arrivals of vessels have been free for som
three days, causing great activity the lcyee ShiI
! pcgs will rest easy for the present. We notice hcav
/ cargoes of salt-one ship arrived yesterday wit
II II $40 sacks another with 10, l22 third with 1858
s. Il fourth with lbs, fifth with S,22l saclstot;
g 1892 sacks and more cargoes reported in the rive
70 Really Mr. Bull intends to keep us in salt for fear
should disappoint him in cotton, perhaps.
