The advices from the South are not so favorable
for cotton as they were. The drought is doing
good deal of mischief in the uplands. Cotton is
plant which can stand good deal of heat, but IL
must have some water, and in parts of the South
they seem to have had none at all this season. The
crop in the owlands continues to promise well and,
Il the picking season be prolonged. will yield
handsome increase over last year. They are now
harvesting the wheat in the southern counties of
Wisconsin, the season being earlier than usual.
Throughout Illinois, Iowa and the other Western
States, in which the crops have been cut. the return
is even beyond the expectation Of the farm.

continues TO thrive though in some of the
Central States complaints are again heard of
the wan, of rain. The reports from Europe jus.
lily the belief that there will be fair demand for
American breads,ufs in the foreign markets, but
the prospect Of famine prices is very slender. The
weather has improved, and the British and French
crops, though below an average, will not prove as
complete failure as was once expected.
The banks may show an increase Of specie To-
morrow; they have received some gold from the
interior and something from the subTreasury.
The export which will ell against the average 10.
morrow is merely that Of Saturday. 2lst. which
was ss26 ssh; and against this the banks received
last Sunday s653, 900 from California. Yesterdays
export will Of course ONLY count once against the
average The last specie average was s23.4l3.6ii:
at the corresponding period last year the banks
held s2o,I6i,5Gi. The ub.Treasury has lost mo.
ney during sie week. The receipts from duties
have been lighter than was anticipated, owing to
the nonarrival Of foreign steamers, while the dis
bursements have been very heavy. 1t is Mr. Cobb's

The act Of 1850, and to bequea,h to his success. |
sor the twenty millions Of Treasury notes now |
ahos'. Very few Of these notes will mature before
March, 1861, and IL the customs duties are large,
Is they probably viii be, the income from this
ource may be in excess Of the expenditure. The
