The receipts of this year over last, us will be

being Sll ,0oS bales for ISIS, 347,Sl2 bales for
1867. But it is not fair hence TO conclude that the
incoming crop will be double that of last year.
The early maturity, favorable weather, and the
apprehension Of lower prices has brought the
crop into market earlier than usual. 1t is esti-
mated by those who are in a position to form a
good judgment that the crop will be from
$500, 900 to 100000 bales.
The Cotton manufacturing at the North has
been depressed, not SO much from the general
prostration OF business as from the high price
OF cotton. The prices of manufactured goods
have not been in proportion to the raw mate
rial, and many of the leading mills are un.
dcrstood to be doing quite a losing bust.
ness, so much so, that the average decline in
the value of the stocks of 90 Of the largest
companies has been nearly 80 per cent.
Cotton manufacturer in England and on the
Continent have also been depressed, although not
to the extent of our own. The manufacturer OF
this country are disposed to buy only as they
really need from month to month, in the hope
and expectation of lower prices; and from what
We can learn from abroad, the course there will
be very much the same. Until the relative
prices Of goods and cotton are such as to afford
II profit to the manufacturer, large purchases
will not be made. Whether goods must come
up or cotton 60 down, is 4 question which we
will not pretend to decide, but with such dis.
astrous experience as our cotton mills have
had in the last two years, and with a largely
increased crop of cotton the present year, VIC in
cline very decidedly to the opinion that cotton
will decline. 1t is true that the stock Of heavy
manufactured goods is comparatively light, in
the hands ofall, from the retailer up to the manu-
%facturer, and with an increased demand as there
must be in the coming Spring, cotton may not
go so much below the prices Of last year, as our
Northern friends suppose.
We submit below tables showing the com,
parative prices of last year and the present, at
the dates named, at New Orleans and Liver
pool. Our last advices from Liverpool arc five
DAYS later than named in the table, with the
, report of Il further decline Of Id. By these
tables, i. will be seen that prices in New Or
leans vary slightly, while in Liverpool the va
ration is nearly , d.

MONEY ITEMS.

Fourteen banks in Philadelphia with an az
gregrate capital of $9,Sl+,545 have declared
semi-annual dividends, amounting in the aggre-
gate to $39s, 134, or a fraction over four per
cent.
\ complete list of the assets Of the Ohio Life
Insurance and Trust Company, which were ia
ken possession Of by the sheriffunder authority
of the Supreme Court Of Cincinnati, shows a
total Of 81, 4l6, 5000 Of which $4,000 is in
cash.
The United States Court appointed James
P. Kilbreath as Receiver, and, by virtue Of his
appointment. he demanded the transfer Of the
assets, which the Sheriff declined. No legal pro-
ceedings have yet been instituted, but the full
strength Of the law. will doubtless he put forth
to compel obedience. Of the several points to
be contested one will be to make the Trustees
Directors liable, and as they are supposed to
be worth from three to four millions, not 4
point in the legal contest will be yielded by
either side. In the hands of the Receiver, a
pro rata distribution is to be made. The assets
consist of individual notes, good, doubtful and
bad $3lS,43l %
Total Cash II, UUU 90
Rail Road securities in various
shapes LOSS, 935 90
City, town. county and town
ship bonds v~ariously located $1,000 90
$1,4l6, $50 O5
The opinion is held, by those who ought to
know, that it is not safe TO calculate on more
than 10 per cent. of the individual notes;
that a large proportion of the rail road bonds
are not worth the paper upon which they are
printed, while others may be regarded as good.
Over one hundred thousand dollars of the notes
are due by one firm, which is now no better than
the Trust Company itself. The cash, and the
item Of SIS, 800, only can be relied upon rs
good, and this sum will, most likely, be alb
sorbed in legal fees, in the endless litigation
which is to follow; and if the trustees are not
held liable by the final decision of the courts,
where will the creditors be? Seven millions Of
debts, if we remember correctly, with snch Il
shadom Of assets!
We do not suppose many Virginians to be
creditors of this company, and we would not
have made so long an item Of this, but for the
fact, that nearly fifteen months ago, as our
readers well know, the failure of this company
started the panic" which, with the swiitness
of lightning and the destructive power Of a
tornado, swept over our country; and we hold
it up as a caution to the good people Of Vir-
ginia, lest they may realize like results in the
unexpected failure Of some Of the banks which
their Legislature has scattered broad cast all
over the State. The banks of this State hav-
ing authority to issue notes for circulation,
which the Trust Company had not, increases
the liability to disaster.
The bullion in the Bank ofFrance now stands
at about $780, 600, 0O0-a far higher sum than
was ever held by that establishment, and more
than &C., 900 in excess of the largest total
ever collected in the Bank of England. At the
commencement Of the present year, the Bank
of France held less than $50, 600, 600, and the
influx in nine months has therefore been
