Il Co. 3 cotton report Of Dec. 30 says their
kadpices from all points fIlly confirms
them in the opinion that their estimates
of the total supply given in their last
4 circular are NOT too high inclining
them 10 outside figures, 2 100, 600 bales
4 The course Of trade has been a good
deal changed by the customary rise in
the rivers. Instead OF receipts of q
hundred thousand bales weekly, the
average has been restricted to 60.000.
Information Is now received from all
points that the rivers are rapidly rails
ing and the receipts are already on the
increasing scale, namely: Receipts here
and at Mobile for the week ending Dec.
Dec. 18th, 81, 200 bales. Receipts at ali
points and cotton forwarded North
already amount to ], $50, 900; thus con-
troyerting Secretary MeCulloSh's esti-
mate of ], 800 900 for the entire sup
ply, old and new. There are no
signs of a serious falling OF at any
poiut and the effect of q tardy rise of
the rivers will be to protect the deliv-
cry to q comparatively late date. The
question rises, will not the strength OF
large holders at Mobile and New York
be exhausted before the first falling OF
takes place and can i continued 20 be
piled mp in ports. Already the stock
held at the leading points exceed 5OO,-
600 bales andis daily increasing; where
as the total foreign exports since the LIST
of September amounts to only SOC, 600
bales down to the latest dates from all
points. So far asJpresent indications
can be trusted they think 1t not unrea-
enable to anticipate crop for 1866 and
81 of million and i've hundred thous-
and to a million and eight hundred
thousand. Whereof not less than half
will be retained in the country, OF say
two hundreds and thirty thousand or
three hundred thousand from the At
lantie States and Florida, and million
and three hundred thousand to mil
lion and five hundred thousand bales
from the South. T Ifrf ~
