Neh OrIeans Daily Crescent.
FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER l2, 1858.



The activity on the eyee and landings formed part
Of the talk yesterday. Then the arrival Of the Asia
at New York from Liverpool, with dates up to the
30th nit, formed another part of the talk then the
very fine weather, bracing and elastic formed another
part then the exchange market formed another
part. So there were four parts accounted for on
change yesterday AS for money, which may be
considered great part, no one in particular seemed
to care continental dollar about it; therefore, we
have only to dssect the accounts by the Asia, which
happen to be rather unfavorabe for great staple
The sales for the week ending the 29th nlt are re-
ported to be $4,000 bales This is considerably less
than the known consumption. The paragraph about
Manchester trade" is worthy Of notice 1t is sug-
gested that it be read carefully, and if it does not
smack Of what we have before said that dispatches
are made and forwarded to operate on the cotton
market, then we will give it up. Middling Orleans is
quoted at l,l6d. What it will rule at on the 18th
inst is hard to say but if our factors credit the Man
chester reports every week. they making up their
minds for much lower prices.
The general talk is Of the cheering prospects for
business Reference is made to our marine list and
receipts of cotton. The arrivals yesterday were
numerous, and within two days past we have had ar
rivals from Shreveport and the Arkansas river We
sissipp river, from the mouth of the Ohio down be-
low Yicksburg. The rise in Red river would be of
very brief service unless it was met at the mouth by
some movement in the Mississippi, as it would all
out in a few days. There is a rise reported in the
Yazoo. This is matter of course when the Misss-
sppi rises The grand feature of the age is the busi
ness the jackson Railroad The receipts of cotton
for the last ten days average one thousand and
seventy bales daily not seventeen hundred bales, as
one of our contemporaries had it yesterday. The re.
ceipts since the lst of September are fifty thousand
baes-tbe train of last night brings it up and over
these figures They are sending out from New York
something of the following nature regarding cotton.
Mr. P. Wright last week spoke as follows
The weather at the South is lreported as favora-
bic for the gathering Of the crop No frost has occur
red, and the prolonged season naturally encourages
increased estimates but while admitting this are
of opinion that much exaggeraton prevails on the
subject. The tavOrite estimate in the Gulf ports
range from 100000 to 1850 600 bales. In the At
antic States where undoubtedly the largest crop in
proportion will be secured, the estimate generally
adopted is S,50000O bales, When we hear of a kill.
ing frost and know its probable effects, we may ven
ure upon an opinion as to its probable extent with
more confidence meanwhile, it is unsafe to take our
present scale of receipts into the ports as guide the
evidence being ample that more than ordinary eXer-
tOns have been made this to hurry the crop to
market and than usual facilities have prevailed
to accomplish this end
| Receipts at the ports for the week amount to l15,
900 bales. Next week they promise tO be about the
same. The nducement and facilities are so great
that the total receipts at the ports to the dates given
in our tables exceed those of any previous year. The
comparison with last year is not correct criterion
whereby to form an opinion of the crop, and much
caution is necessary while the present feeling exists
of measuring the one by the other.
We are not aware whether be has sold out il
transt but it appears he alludes something to the
great facilities for the early receipts. He enlarge:
his estimates to 100000 bales. But the question
crop is not Of 50 great importance at this time, be
cause it is known that every bale of cotton will bt
wanted, and so long as prices rule at about presen
rates, consumption will continue on a free scale.
