Increase for the week. 635, FOG
Our cotton market has been influenced by the
daily decrease in receipts. Good qualities have
attained very high prices-say from l4a@9l5 and
l6c. The sales for the week reach 10000 bales,
500 bales corresponding week in 1859. The freight
market and course of exchange have favored trans
actions this week. With some special orders for
Continental ports, covering choice qualities, some
very high prices have been paid, ranging above
the highest prices which have been quoted. The
receipts for the week have been only 1900 bales,
against % 700 bales same week last year--not so
very great a difference. The receipts at Mobile for
the week ending yesterday (Friday) were 1888
bales, against 1901 bales corresponding week last
year. The total receipts at Mobile now foot up
81 ,013 bales. The decrease at the two ports, No
bile and New Orleans, now reach ,091 bales
The receipts at all the ports by the 18th inst. will
ding the overland shipments.
The adyices from Europe during the week have
been of favorable import. The latest dates are
up to the 23d, Saturday, brought by the America,
arrived at Halifax, quotations for Middling Orleans
being II, though sales were made above these fig
ures. The weeks sales were 1873 600 bales, which
is third to the largest weeks sales on record-the
largest weeks sale on record being 1855, 900 bales
the next 1856, 900 bales. The accounts to be re-
ciyeed during this month will be looked for with
great anxiety.
New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1861-04-08

The Exchange market has had a downward ten
dency during the week. Northern or New York
funds opened on Monday at 1l-l692, under free
offerings, with a slackening demand, and have re-
coded from day to day, as noticed in our daily re-
view. Sterling has declined a@a get from the
highest notch. To-day the movements all around
were attended with extreme languor--the counter
rate at the banks for checks being Oct. prem.
New York. Outside AL drawers sold at 4t0} prem,
and some stray bills were taken at a less rate.
There were also sales of one day sight at prem:
ten days sight at dis sixty days sight at Net.
dis Several thousand dollars Of good and Al bills
passed at this rate, and good to fair at I1 dis.
Sterling enjoyed the benefit Of the decline, brought
about really by q large decline in New York-the
highest rates obtainable being 107i0DI03, with
some good bills from the South offering at 1910
1O74. We quote transactions in our market to-day
at 1917, 107}@l0s, with uphill work to realize
over 1919 Some of the best bills going, with doc
uments, were dealt in more from the amount
offering than from other causes. The sales Of COT
ton are falling off, and of the influence is
felt in the bill market. We did not learn of any
sales in Francs. We quote from 5:35t95:25. Small
sums for remittance purposes are held higher, say
5:22a@5:20.
The Stock market was dull to-day. The banks
are, however earning their dividends for the month
of July. It is useless for parties to be sacri-
fcng bank shares. Bonds are dull, and likely to
continue SO, under the frightened scale Of city
bonds made yesterday.
The Real Estate market holds up well. There is
| no disposition evinced to sell below last years
prices, aud majority Of owners will not sell under
an advance of 10 get. over the prices of twelve
months ago.

The Secretary recommensls plan for
national circulation IL pates. the features
of which are ala accumulation Of notes
bearing a common impression and anthem
tlcated by common authority, the redemp-
ton OF these notes by associations and in
situations to which they may be delivered
for issue, and the security OF that redemp-
ton by pledge of US. stocks and an ade-
quate provision of specie. An important
advantage to the people by this plan would
be In the increased security OF the Union
springlng from common interests IN Its
preservation, created by distribution of its
stocks to ASSOCIATIONS throughout the
country as the basis Of their circulation;
and he entertains the opinion ii credit
system be desirable it is in this form. he
states it is earnestly hoped, not without
sufficient grounds, that the present war
will be brought to an auspicious termlna-
ton before midsummer. aud that, in that
event, the provision of revenue BY taxa
tion recommended, will amply suffice for
all financial exigencies. without additional
loans, and enable the Government at once
to begin reduction OF the existing debt.
