Messrs. Nell Bros. say
The delivery OF the crop continues uninterrupted and
the receipts supported large scale. The rivers
up prices reuneratiye and planters have been
to market their cotton before the approach OF
spring Thus the deliveries of the six weeks have
equcd the large receipts If last year aud the total de-
has been kept IN check white by telegraph tho
ccts al New Orleans continue In OF 1859 and
1860 all Of which tend to increase confidence the higher
estimates. At Mobile, however the falling of in receipts
has rot favored the larger figures The general opinion
here does not vary materially from four million bales,
to reach which figures the receipts from this out must
about equal last years. From parts OF the south
learn there is eea cotton remaining In tho country
than AZ tina time last while In other places the yield
has been decidedly larger Prices have been irregular
most OF cur markets during the week. Tho Afrcas ad
vices received yesterday however, caused activity
at the South, and full prices paid at New Orleans
for the medium and upper grades The uncertainty still
felt TO the future OF events ia this country

Throughout the city yesterday rumors were rife
of several scouting parties having met the enemy
