OPFIcR or THE UNEoE AND AMERICAN
rW FRIDAY. March 9, 1856. J
MosErARY.--Gold opened in New York on yes
serday at 3s1zc and closed at SS11zc.
Tennessee money Is without material change.
State Bank is more in demand and is likely 20 ad-
vance. We now quote at 35G37c buying. and 40c
selling. Planters is still bought at SIC and sold
at SOC. Union is bought at Csc and sold at Csc. Of
the latter there seems to be but Little offered.
CoTToE-The market was more active though
sales continue light. We are unable to gay what
effect the last adviees from Liverpool viii have.
Wequote at 32G35c-good average lots 34lzc.
Messrs. Cornwall & Zerega, of New York. in
their Weekly Circular, thus review the market:
Our market for the week has been irregular. with
varying prices. The decline Of prices in Liver
pool has made the exporters during the week eau
tious buyers, but the more favorable advices by
the ASIA and the prices at which cotton was offer
ed in our markets, had the effect on Friday 20
bring the exporters on the market, and the sales
were heavy for shipment and speculation. Our
market closes very firm. and saneuine operators
think that cotton has touched the lowest point for
some months to come. The gold market is, how
ever, very weak and it will not be easy to secure
any large advance in the price Of cotton, in the
face of a steady decline in gold. But cotton has
plenty Of friends. who still have faith in higher
prices and it will not be easy to reduce prices be-
low present rates for some months, unless the
decline in gold should be very great. and the
receipts Of cotton much heavier than now anti
eipated. EfW
The receipts show decided falling off at some of
the ports but the decline is not generally anti
cipated. The decline has, however. commenced.
and it is to bsiexpectcd will emore marked from
this time.

These figures demonstrate the fact that with
cotton at the present high prices the sources
of supply can be greatly multiplied. No country
had the monopoly, in the sense supposed, pre-
viOus TO the war-yet American cotton controls
the market, and with much lower prices; there is
no prospect that any of the countries which have
of late years become the dependence for European
consumption will be able tc keep up their unusual
supply. China and Japan have already been
abandoned. India also will we believe, soon fur
nish far less than at present. In fact even now
they have begun to turn their attention to the
cultivation of other staples. In the Presidency
OfMadrid there were on the 3lst of October only
93l III acres of cotton under cultivation; where
as in the previous year there had been ,063, 500
acres showing n decrease of 13l $40 acres in one
year. Egypt and Syria also indicate strong
symptoms of decline in production. As for Brazil,
with all her fattering assurances she has not sue
ceeded in fulfilling expectation, and with lower
prices, cannot be at all relied upon This is well
understood in England. and our well informed
correspondent ut London declares as his judgment
that the fall ofthree cents per pound would result
in heavy reduction in the quantity which is
produced ard exported from that source.
From what has already been stated, it is evil
dent that with prices at the point they were be-
fore the war, the supply will be received princi-
pally from the old sources. This change in
production cannot, however. take place imme-
diately. 1t will be a gradual movement-a grad
nal falling off in export from tno new sources.
The following table, prepared by leading Liy-
erpool firm, shows the estimated imports at
Great Britain for 1866, with the countries from
which the supplies will be drawn;

Our extensive circulation among the
German population induced an enterprising
advertiser TO insert business card m oar
columns an the vernacular of that people.
As our reporter was threading the busy
streets yesterday, he was aocosted by neatly

with the inquiry, if that matter was not set
up from the coal-scuttle. We excused the
inquirer, and referred him TO Curran Nc

desiring to attract public attention TO their

Pork Packing I'm Cincinnatl---FulI Re-
turns for the season.

The following accurate and interesting statistics
of the packing this season, is from an advance
slip of the Price Cnrrent, furnished us by William
Smith, Esq, the editor:
Since our last. we have obtained the packers re-
turns of pork packing in this city, this winter
and shall now proceed to lay the result before the
trade. As is well known, we keep account Of
the receipts of hogs, by the various inets TO the
city, so far they can be obtained, each season ;
but as these receipts include those taken foT city
consumption the packers returns are necessary
TO show the amount of pork actually cured, each
winter. aside from that sold by butchers, and put
APP for family use.
The whole number of houses engaged in curing
pork this season was fortytwo. and the total num-
Der of hogs reported by those houses is 354, 076
which is about % 900 less than the total receipts
reported up to the middle of February, so that
over this number must have been consumed in the
city or put up for family use. The average weight
is 23S 1881 lbs per hog, and the yield of leaf and
trimming lard 81 1926 lbs per hog. Of the whole
number of hogs reported, about 10000 head were
rendered into lard in the fore part of the season,
excepting the shoulders and hams; and in max
Ing up the yield of lard. that thus made is ex-
cluded in order to get at the correct yield of lard
per hog. of what is known TO the trade as leaf lard
The yield of head and gut lard has been large the

With these facts and figures the policy Of this
country appears 60 us to be clearly indicated.
There is already a tax Of two cents apound on
cotton. The South has lost its capital, and has
not, of itself. the ability to resume, on large
scale. the cultivation Of this much needed staple
At the same time, the means Of transportation
are greatly crippled, while the plantations have
been devastated so that gin-h0uses machinery,
agricultural implements fences, &c, will have TO
be provided anew. How is the capital to be at
sracted that is TO supply these necessary wantsG
Alone by promises Of large profits and this can
only be done by encouraging. for the present,
at least in every possible way, those attempting
the cultivstio Of cotton in the South. We have
again the opportunity. and it brings with il the
the duty TO occupy the first place in the markets
of the world. The same natural advantages we
have always possessed remain TO us the laboring
population are there ready 20 10 engage in the
culture, and with an interest in the result which
must add largely TO the profit Of both the laborer
and the employer. Besides. machinery can be
used instead ofold negro hoes, to prepare the SOIL
and emigration from Europe will add largely to
the volume of industry. If. therefore. We can
encourage the production now, capital will be
attracted 10 the South. the waste Of the war will
be supplied, and future condition cannot be
doubtful. But if we attempt, now to tax this i'm
dustry. as proposed by the commissioners. we
shall surely delay the accomplishment Of sthis
much desired object

This table will illustrate the comparative pro-
duction of the country for the years just previous
to aud during the war. If, now, we examine the
consumption of Europe for the same period we
in the year ending December So 1860 delivered
for consumption in the European markets more
than three-fourtIs of all the cotton required
3400 600 out Of 900 bales This fact, will be
readily acknowledged, had rs powerful influence
in the minds of the architects of the great rebel
lion. who were naturally sanguine that staple so
important in commerce must afford q revenue suf-
icient to warrant a political revolution and the
establishment of another nation.
Hence, the "sinews of war" were largely sup
piled from the pabuum afforded by the Southern
cotton loan. At the same time however, the ext
gencies of the civil war; rs indicated in the above
table, cut off production, compellingi European
consumers to look to other parts of the world for
their supply. The countries of South America,
Brazil in particular watered by the Amazon and
its tributaries fertile in soil and apparently favor
able in climate, were introduced into the arena.
The countries Of the Mediterranean, Italy, Egypt
and Syria became extensive contributors, while
Hindostan and other districts Of Eastern Asia led
all the world in this new department ofeommerce
and industry. Shiploads, indeed, were imported
from China and Japan. II seemed to the super
fetal observer as though America had been sup
planted so effectually that there would be no
chance to recover the former ascendancy.
The following tables present an Interesting
of the facts to which we have thus briefly
referred. The first gives the imports. &C., from
the United States separately, and the total from
other sources during the last four years:
