COTToN.-Owing to unfavorable
weather for outdoor business Of eve
~ kind to-day and discouraging in
telligence from all important outside
markets, the actual sales have been
confined to 1900 bales at our previ-
Gus figures. The supply and demand
were at no time much better than
nominal, as buyers and sellers ap-
peared determined to await still Ia
ter advices before entering upon any
further important negotiations. The
ruling quotations this evening were ::
250253 for ordinary; 264@264 for
good ordinary 274@27f for low mid
ding; 2S4@2S4c for middling, and

FRIEND BoSwoRTH The annex
ed circular gives particulars for the
past three days The sales of cotton
to-day were 400 bales, at fully &c.
decline on yesterdays figures. Rea-
soma dull market on the other side
of the water. The ) P. NJ. dispatch
from Liverpool reports sales to-day
5000 bales; New Orleans middling
124d to 12sd. Buyers refuse to ope-
rate unless at low prices, and factors
are unwilling to cOncede enough to
meet their views. The comparative
decrease ia receipts still continues,
which gives.holders good ground for
refusing to abate their demands.
The stock in the hands of spinners is
gradually decreasing, as, for weeks
past, they have been consuming r.
900 to $1,000 bales per week more
than they purchased, hoping that the
early high crop estimates on this side
would be realized, and that prices
would go down. Up to this time
they have been disappointed; and
the planters now have the game in
their own hands. If they plant for
large crop prices will go lower; if,
on an average, no more ground is
planted than last year, then the mar
ket will keep up to present rates.
Tell your planting friends to grow
corn, potatoes, peas, pigs, &C., and
then cotton, as much as they can.
Yours truly,

CENTRAL AMERICA.

We find the following items Of news
in the Panama Star and Herald OF the
10Th uit.:
An fears Of q civil war In the Ar
gentine Republic were disappearing
fast. The province, in which it was
believed disturbances might break
out, is engaged in lucrative and edu-
CatiOnal occupations, which it is
hoped they will persevere in TO
strengthen the public peace.
A large number Of the dignitaries
of the Roman Catholic Church, from
the Republics Of South and Central
America, sailed from Aspinwau yes
terday in the French steamer Mar
Unique for st. NaZaire en- route TO
Rome, to attend the great Council to
meet there in December next.
The gentlemen who have been con-
fined ia prison in this city for nearly
two months past, on a charge of con-
spiracy 10 overthrow the present gov
ernment, have been set at liberty Ey
order of President COrreosO.
Considerable excitement was Oc a.
iiOned in town yesterday by the re-
port than an armed attempt would be
made during the day or night to GUST
the present State Government. Who
the leaders Of the movement are is
doubtless known to the Government,
who we hope will take active meas
ures to put an immediate stop to all
such revolutionary nonsense, even
should it itinVOlve the inflictiOn of sum-
mary punishment upon its authors.
The schooner Petrol returned 10
this port yesterday. 1t will be re
membered that the Petrol was char
tered here some months ago by gen.
tleman from Costa Rica, to make a
voyage to the Coosa Islands with q
party in search of the treasure sup
posed to have been hidden there years
ago. The Captain informs US that he
remained at the Islands some twenty
seven days, during which time the
/ tredsure-seekers, some eighteen in ali ,
worked very faithfully, but did not
/ succeed in recovering any of the fabu-
/ lOus wealth supposed TO have been Sc
\ creted there.
Chile is rapidly pushing forward her
/ enterprises for the improvement and
/ opening up Of the country, and APP
pears to be especially interested, just
now, in telegraph lines. The crops
have been unusually good, and the
failure of those on the other side OF
the Andes opens up new and nearer
market for their disposal. Altogether
the news from that republic is very
cheering, and much in contrast with
that from her neighbOr Bolivia, where
the red hand OF revolution has pros.
| trated industry and commerce.
