REVIEW OF THE WEEK.

C0TT0N-The present cotton season has
presented some strange transitions, but the
events of the last ten days have been more sur
prising and unaceountable than all the. rest.
On Tuesday week cotton 10 New York was
"dnll and nominal at 3f935c. and gold 2gk.
On Wednesday came news Of dull market in
Liverpool, with middling uplands at l31sd-an
arrival on the previous Monday quoted mid
ding uplands li1zd. On the same Wednesday
that brought tidings of the decline. came also
intelligence that in New York cotton was in
active demand at full prices, DC. This was n
surprise, but each day has brought q new sur
PRISE. and yesterday cotton was 4094lc in New
York. and gold at J7s5. while in our market
cotton was selling ut "a and 35c for middlings.
There are numerous Surniises IS 10 the reason
ui 80 strange an event Us cotton 10 be worth &c
IN gold only in Liverpool. while in Memphis 1t
j. selling at 3 C in rreenbacks, but the variety
OF ways in which tue strange fact IS endeavored
10 be accounted for, proves that no one knows
the true cause. Oar more experienced cotton
dealers regard the present advance as trans
itOry, having no permanent basis. The basis Of
the advance is not in Liverpool, for the price is
below oar own rate, with a falling market. 1t
is argued that all we have heard Of failure in
crops from bad weather, worthless seed. over
flow, decreasing stocks, the probable imposition
of n five cent duty, and demand from bone
spinners, whose stocks are scarce, is not sufh
cieut to account for the strange anomaly now
existing. These things, tits urged, might coun-
teract the declines in Liverpool, and support
previous rates. but they would not be sufficient
10 advance prices. IN the face Of the terrible
position Of the money markets in Europe.
There fearful panic exists that is compared
IN the tremendous mercantile convulsions Of
1875. The bank rate in Frankfort, Germany,
is raised 10 per cent. The Bank Of England
has advanced discounts from per cent. TO
per cent, and for special advances 10 10 per
