HIGH PRICES OF COTTON.

The S"~ih Gorn'iHiGn takes 4 rather dishcarten-
ing view of the present prospects Of Cotton. 1t
tn" conclusions in the following extract are cor
rect. our farmers had better taken our advice last
week ard disposed of their crops
There is nothing in the position Of cotton or
cotton goods to Justify the large advance reported
by the last two steamers &ud this advance must
be looked upon as without nuy proper basis. The
rapility with which prices have been forced up, is
doubtless for the purpose of tempting large and
immediate shipments from this side. But circum-
stunccs arc such that quite the contrary effect is
pretty certain to be produced. The crop has come
very slowly to market. prices having been unsat-
iSfactory, and it will be found that the views Of
plauters will advance even faster than the Liver
pool market. Then again there is ito greater diff
fculty in holding cotton on this side than OH the
other: and the Manchester people will fEd that
we shall send forward cur cotton ut our convent.
cncc--and every attempt they make TO hurry the
crop forward by means Of monetary excitement
in the Liverpool market, will result i'll advancing
prices on this side, which they will be Induced to
pay at time when, as would appear from their
present course, they will expect to rule the mark
ct. But moderate price only can be paid FOR
cotton, without materially effcc!ng the consump-
tion-so that although British spinncrs may, in
the attempt to obtain an ultimate advantage force
up prices to point which will be sustained until
their wants are supplied, reaction is quite Ger
tain TO follow, the benefit of which will inure to
the American manufacturers. who are how pur
chasing but sparngly, which, with the tariff on
imported goods, will give them an advantage
greater than that they obtained last season by
purchasing early"

COTTON--,IoNEY, &C.

We presented last week our views on the scot
ton question and advised prompt sales on the
part of farmers. Return-D Day has passed, and the
docket tells too truly the evils of delay. True,
many Of those who have been cleft in the lurch"
are not cotton producers, but whatever be their
avocation, it is directly affected by the action of
those who withhold their cotton. All mechanical
trades, and professional employments, are depen-
dent on the producer for supportand maintenance.
But the producer is not altogether independent
lie must have the labor of the mechanic, profess
sional advice, and the 'calico" of the merchant.
The laws of economy harmonize beautifully when
properly understood. There is natural depen-
dence between all classes, which practically illus
trates the moral axiom that ''honesty is the best
policy" 1t is better for all parties that all sue
ceed
The tendency of cotton is to advance. At least
it remains comparatively firm. We do not think
it can reach much higher price than the present,
but it depends altogether upon the fluctuations in
money. In London, at present, the "root Of all
evils is So abundant that it is readily loaned at
from % to per cent. and in New York at to 6
per cent. If this state of things really arises
from the superfuity Of money, and not from q
want of confidence in the usual investments, why
then, cotton like every other property must go up
to high price.
On the condition Of money matters in our Queen
city and in the State generally we give the follow
ing from the Charleston Ne~s. From this extract
it will appear that our financial difficulties are
still in confused state. But if England and the
North occupy their present position, our money
kings must soon be forced to change their atti-
tude Our able cOtemporary says:
Money is also becoming easier here, but very
slowly, and the actual premiums obtained in the
various forms Of monetary transactions much ex-
coed the legal rates Of interest Since the suspen
sion the Banks have reaped rich harvest of profit
from the peooe and until the bulk of the crop is
