| We have not included any cotton that may have
been shipped on planters account. It is the re-
| eeiyed impression that there has been very few
bales shipped this season on planters account
They were not paid last season for their shipments
as much as they would have been paid in this mar
ket. The Lancashire spinners, the Liverpool spec
ulators, the gentlemen of the flags of that town
would desire nothing more than that a million ol
bales of cotton should be shipped direct on growers
account. They would then control the market
and set the value of the staple.
| Well, the further talk was that there is very
moderate stock of cotton on hand for sale at this
moments that five millions of dollars would cover
tentirely, there are many thousands of bales Of
very low qualities, which will not command any.
thing of an average price. Six hundred bales re-
ceived from Mobile by the Gray Cloud were com
pressed bales, and intended for shipment to some
port not perhaps desirable to be known to the
public, as there are some markets in Europe where
| cotton or other produce would pay well in limited
parcels OF course it is policy for shippers to sup
press the name Of the intended port and possibly
| this accounts foa compressed coming from Mobile
hither for shipment. Then, again, it may be for
advantages to be gained in the way of difference
IN ireghts. This, however, is only incidental talk
but it will be found not to be far out of the Way
The weather is most propitious for the crops Of
sugar and cotton. True, some cotton planters said
in September they would be through picking by
the lst of November but as they have not inform.
ed us that they have been obliged to suspend from
the want of opened bols, we hope that they will
have enough to keep all their force employed for
the present month. All the cotton they can gather
will be wanted, and will be paid for, SO we can
only urge them to pick away. We are like plant
ers and cultivators ourselves. We do not like to
see, hear Of, or talk about short crops We desire
good crops at all times cotton, sugar. corn,
| wheat, cattle, hogs, chickens and turkeys. More
over, short crops have great bearing on and
affect the general financial market.
Again, from what Colonel Lonsdale says in his
weekly coffee circular, we are destined to have q
short crop OF coffee to talk about. Now then, we
might get along after fashion without the berry,
because We could use water; but Old England and
New England could not get along without cotton.
1t is manifest that the consumption of cofiee has
oyertakcn aud passed the production. There is
very little coffee now expected from Cuba. A few
years ago (not two decades9 all the coffee CON
sumed came from Cuba and other West India
Islands. Porto Rico, Hayti, furnished good sup
ply Of coffee. The question will come up ere
Tong, from whence shall the United States get its
supply of coffee? The importations this week are
1042l bags, 42c9 bags on New York account, and
tho balance for European account. The stock is
1888 bags less than last year, and Prime com
