steamers with full cargoes. There was some talk Of
cotton, of course. Our cotemporary Of the Price
Current will, we think, exhibit some strong figures
this morning. We think the excess will be over nine
hundred thousand bales. How far this will go |
towards the grand figures say $3.50 900 bales will be
determined, we have before remarked by the 18th
of next month. There is some talk that shipments
from Bombay to England will be heavy after the LIST
OF this month. It is, however, certain that the stock
Of East India cotton on hand in Liverpool on the 31st
ult was remarkably low. it continues so then the
low qualities OF American cotton will come under . |
more extended demand Bat the talk in some circles
yesterday was Of the last Hayre advices regarding
sundry bills drawn against October shipments being
under dishonor. 1t ia useless to attempt to conceal
the Intelligence. Very glowing and unfavorable re-
turns have come to hand Of the early purchases and
shipments Of cotton this season. We can only hope
the sequel will prove more favorable.
The returns Of the sugar crop are attracting some
attention 1t is generally the current opinion that
the product of 1858 will reach $4,000 hogsheads of
sugar, and 100000 barrels Of molasses, valued 1t
twenty-five millions Of dollars, which, we think, will
do very WELL There is one feature Of the sugar trade
worthy Of notice. 1t is the decline in the importation
Of that once famous article meado or concentrated
molasses, which caused SO much alarm and anxiety
| to be bugaboo. The importations of this highly
concentrated notion being for the year 1858 only
ll000 hogsheads against TO- 200 hogsheads in 1857.
Then we find that the consumption Of foreign sugar

would make the total consumption of cane sugar in
the United States 1885, to be 3Ss493 against 65
tuns in 1857, showing the enormous increase to be
100000 tuns. The tun is calculated at the old fogy
standard of 2,240 lbs. The consumption Of 1857 was
greatly lessened by the high and almost extravagant
price the article commanded, following the very
short crop of 10000 hogsheads of Louisiana. It is
thus manifest that high prices will in all instances
curtail consumption, particularly such articles as
sugar. cotton and tobacco. They are not in the same
category as breadstufs and provisions These latter
articles pershable in their nature and not good
subjects to hold for elevated prices and specula
tion.
Our Community was favored yesterday with q
heavy installment Of the mails in arrears. From
PostOfic reports there are no letter mails behind
but there are some bags of newspapers tagging some
where. In the meantime, the talk is that any expe
ditious traveller go to Washington City via the
Jackson Railroad in five days. This will be the
popular route next summer, it is presumed super
intendents of the branch in Virginia will understand
their duties by that time. -
