Cotton and Corn.
Nothing of highly important character has
transpired during the week now closing We have
had something like seasonable weather, which will
aid the growth Of cotton, and by the end of the
coming month we shall be in possession Of informa
ton which may indicate the stand for cotton in
regions far and near.
4 The commercial advices by the Arabia, which we
published yesterday had no effect on market In
fact. telcgraphie accounts are beginning to be re-
garded with considerable doubt. When the Niagara
arrived at Halifax, the 10Th inst we had it first
that there was slight improvement in cotton, then
came figures quoting an advance of an 3D., then
came another quotation at fraction. The private
letters received by the mail day before yesterday
quote the advance from an I'd. to Id We have also
perused private letters from parties of the highest
standing who say that the consumption of cotton in
England, of all kinds, is fully Al 900 bales per week,
and views are entertained that at this rate there
will be stock hand in England on the 3lst Of
December next.
The receipts at this port yesterday were l16 bales
The corresponding day last year they were 1920
bales.
We learn that all the corn in market has been pur
chased for a rise. In fact there has been several
operations during the past two months in hay, oats
and articles of breadstus proyender and provisions
generally. Well, we suppose it is all right. Each
item, and ALL are legitimate objects of commerce.
prices there ought to be corresponding increase in
the returns Of industry and occupations. There is
one thing, coal and wood at this moment would not
pay, and we shall undoubtedly in few weeks have
an abundance Of green food, Sbut that will not
answer for distant markets, and planters may have
to pay one dollar and fifty cents to one dollar and
seventyfye cents per bushe for corn in the market
before many days. There is an enormous demand
for Alabama, Florida and Texas also for sec
tons Of our own State, and higher prices than for
years past inevitable. Under the present prices
pork bacon and corn, planters ought to realize
fully twenty cents h. for cotton to enable them to
balance accounts Of the close Of the year.
The Northern mail via Mobile failed yesterday
from beyond Augusta. Can any information be OBJ
tanned regarding the daily mail to Illinois, not
Egypt2 It appears that our Western exchanges
come very irregular.
