sre limited to s0alO cents for Middngs- freights

tic effects Of The drouth IS received in Liverpool
these limits may be enhanced, and possibly by that
sime Cur factors may enhance also.
The Afffca,s mails we're received yesterday.
Ehe prsyate correspondence seems to hinge, as it
were. on the very unfavorable weather in England
Snr;ously sndangering the crops and harvests. 1t
il not presusned nor II it entertained that there is
any sswolf about. The harvests throughout Great
Esrifiss Ut course short haryests-will be followed
by al increased value of money (; in fact, some
parties, who would be sanguine, and act ON the
\ nnfayorAbla accounts from this side of our cotton
crop, are not willing to forward orders or import
cotton costing over 43@54d., and freight 9al6,
which means something like six pence for good
run Of new Middling. Our market is considerably
shove these views. 1t is useless to disguise the
fact that much, very much, as regards the future
IA cotton for this season. depends on the harvests
throughout Great Britain. Dear bread viii be fol-
lowed BY dear money. In the meantime, as bust
ness ion this season has not opened on our flags,
We can wait three Of four weeks for more ample
details Of the European harvests
Tie following is an extract Of letter from
liverpool, dated 18th August:
There has been a very large business done in
4 this market the past two weeks. and prices have
advanced on Ordinary and very low grades 30ld.:
on Middling Cd. On better grades the advance is
NOT s0 much, as they had maintained their value
relatively better than the low grades.

great room for an advance on cotton of low
grades, which has been slaughtered, made up into
sniacs meat in Liverpool within the last three
months At from 2a@3sd. u b. We think there was
great field for an advance on these prices. There
were sales received two weeks ago Of Low Orleans
cotton being sold at 2sd. An advance on Middling
Of Id. would send the quotations up to 6ld.; that
would Of course be an advance of ID. on 52d., at
i which figures there were many thousands Of bales
of Orleans AliddIing run of, butchered in the
months Of june and July.
The new arrangements Of the mail, ria the Jack
son Railroad, reaching the POST Office before !
O'clock Al, gives great convenience to our com
munity. We have suggestion to make: that Of
the arrival Of the mails at the office, the Office t
hedorthwith closed, and notice given at what tim
lettsrs will be ready for delivery. 1t is making
great demand on the time Of our merchants to b
waiting for every letter TO be distributed, as til
system now in operation. 1t is hoped Mr.. Pos
nsasterG General Holt Will allow at least one doze
additional clerks for the coming season, for eigh
months At least. The present force in the ofic
can barely meet the present limited demands B
the public.
The Post Office, we learn, viii be moved to tn
new building the Custom House-on the first o
November. This will be out of the way for Caron
deletstreet ana onvirons. In the meantime, it will
be well to memorabilia the Post Office authorities
At Washington for more assistance in the depart
flient here.
