COTTON.

There Wss g very quiet market through
out the day. Buyers, however, were In
the market making inquiries n Offering,
but sellers were not disposed to make con-
csssiOns on so dull q market. The market
Is UNDERGOING 8 sever trial, one party
seeking to lower prices, and the other
making efforts to sustain them. Which
win win depends upon who has the long
est purse. New York brokers are send
ing out their circulars, scattering them
broadcast. These circulars go to say that
receipts have nothing to do with the future
prics of cotton, (which is q very curious
positiOnl snd that the attention of spin
ners is now turned TO the coming crop.
This coming crop is to be immense" in
their predictions; hence, according to the
circulars, cotton must decline. In these
circulars, however, they are careful to
insert tbs word provided" very often,
leaving q gap, SO that in the "event" they
should miss the mark, they can retreat.
All this may be; but suppose the ( ctOr
should say that by every evidences reason
able, there are signs, and, unfortunstelY,
good onss, that there will be one of the
grestest floods along the Mississippi VAL
ley ever known, which is very sure to
come. It cannot be avoided, only in q
way, and that is q very gradual melting
of the snow and ice, the former covering
the whole OF the North and Northwestern
country, the like of which was never
before known. This, with the prospects
OF an exciting political campaign, must
haYe its effect, even on the Eastern mar
kets. People South know the result. They
know that the negro viii become de-
morslizsd by the excitement and quit the
Gelds in large numbers, They know
that a greater calamity could not
befau the South than an overflow
of the bottom lands. Our friends,
the BUYERS must excuse us for pointing
out these contingencies, we merely want
70 keep up With the march of time, snd
occasionally indulge in q ~'proviso."

Thc Aoney market is unchanged. Bank

There Is an increased inquiry Tor local

parties receiving seek other investments

transaction is bons fde 100000 were

sans price is offered to day, but holders
are asking S9c. The Alabama stock

as low as $50 in small amounts. The
"gutter snipts' sre generally found stand

This stock is tending towards the New

one Of the leading features of that market.
We hear nothing of special interest In

In local securities. County warrants, in
small amounts, are bought by dealers at

while the selling rates range from 92H to
