Gross receipts at this port for the week, 6979

On the week our prices show an advance OF q to

THIS week have relieved many holders, and the oier'
ing stock is considerably reduced. We have receiv'
ed accounts OF frost In Alajama and Georgia. We
do not hear that 1t extended beyond til ,se states, or
that much cotton was up to be injured There IS NO
doubt however, that the planting season Is TWO or
three weeks later than last year.
here have been received at the ports since lst
September 1SlG,946 bales, of which exporters have
taken $780, spnners 461 900; and the stocks have
increased 276.72 bales Deacit in receipts as com
ments to Liverpool 285, ,247 bales. The deficit in
ceipts is probably at Its maximum, Us we have to
compare with an average of only 5l84 bales for the
next four weeks in 1863 and there are 81, l72 bales

moved in when prices are satisfactory.
In our circular of APRIL 10h 1868, We reported the
stocks in Cincinnati, Louisville, Selma, Euiaula,
Americus, Griffin, Albany. Yicksburg and st Louis,
at II 992 bales This year the stocks in those places
amount to ,759 bales, which shows nm increase of
7767 bales. On the plantations We hear that there Is
less cotton than at this time last year.
About this time last year prices had advanced to
30a32c, and warned our friends Of the danger of
holding cotton and called attention to the following
fact: ]. That spinners in England bad bought freely
and Leld very large stocks at the mills. z That the
was likely to be checked by the high
prtees 3. That the shipments from Bombay might
be increased by the high prices. This year the stu-
alton il enirely different Spinners have been re-
eisting the advance IN cotton. aud have bought as
little as possible. Then stocks at the mills are re.
duced to minimum point, owing to the reduced
production Of goods; the stocks everywhere have
been much diminished.
The governments reports from Bombay assure us
that there will be 300 090 bales less shipped this year
10 England as compared Win Io6o beslues last year
the planting season in the South was proplious and
there was no difficulty about labor. Whereas, this
year the seas on is three weeks late and from all
sides we hear Of scarcity of hands. We can no.
thing to depress prices until october, and many
things likely to cause an advance.
The Bombay Circular Of 9th March says: The
prospects, an export at all approaching to that Of
last year becomes daily less likely. Further rcduc
tious are made In the estimates OF the Brooch and
Dhollera crops. And We may feel more and moro
certain that the total for the present year will not e1
ceed sOO 900 bales to Great Britain and 100000 bales
