The Heavy Receipts Of Cotton at New
.AAA York. g

The large supplies of cotton from the
South, which were for some time ex-
pected in vain, are at last arriving IN
full measure at this port The receipts
/ in this market alone, during the last
SIX weeks, have been over one hundred
thousand bales, (l03.64S,) or an average
Of more than seventeen thousand bales
aMeek. Last week we had close upon
twenty thousand bales, (l9, 404) as,
According to the advices from the
seabosrd and river cities, and from the
cotton growing region of the South, the
volume flowing hitherWaEd, bids fair to
increase largely during the coming
autumn months. at New Orleans, on
the / 18th instant, there were 81 Dos bales
on hand, with large daily receipts, and
the stock at Mobile is also considerable,
though It is kept down by the defcien-
cy of inland water transports to fetch
| it from the interior. This, however, was
being remedied by the construction Of
q feet Of light fiat boats to be employed
expressly in this work he .laay
It is only that part Of the staple
lying most Convenient to the seaboard
cities which. has thus far been brought
| into them. The break in the South
Carolina Railroad, between 0rangeburg
and Columbia, has prevented the up
land cotton in that State from reach
ing Charleston The damage done 10
the Georgia Central Railroad and TO the
Savannah and Gulf Roilroad, by Sher~
man. has heretofore cut of the greater
part Of the cotton growing region Of
Georgia from Savannah but we sup
pose that By this time both these lines
are in running order. A letter from
Jacksonville, in q city contemporary
Yesterday, said thatin Florida but little
of the cotton crop had been brought
in, except such as was stored near the
railroad, and added that il Was estima-
ted there that there we're $1,000 bales
in the State at the close of the war.
The cotton Of Central Alabama has
been detained ia the np-coantry by the
cause we have already mentioned.

had the largest proportion Of is stock
] brought 10 market Is Mississippi; bat
that in the western part Of the state
is IS yet almost untouched. Western
Louisiana and Southern Arkansas las

also forwarded abundantly. 1
OF course much Of this cotton in the
Gulf States We have named, and alsO
IN the State of Texas, will not be
| brought 10 this market, but will be
purchased on European account, and
shipped there direct iaFt3t 81

New York, New Orleans, and the other
cities Of the Southern seAboard, within
the past three months, IS some Of the
SPECTATORS estimated TO exist within
the entire South, in May last. And
yet the greater part Of the cotton
growing region has not been reached
