1t is creditable alike to the ssgacity
and pluck of our cotton men that yes
terday they held up for the highest
quotations, and that their views were
responded to by concessions upon the
part of buyers in the morning,
amounting to fc advance, from which
there was a decline at noon of &c. This
advance was not influenced by the
news either from Liverpool or New
York. In the morning those markets
were reported steady, without ad-
vance, the former closing frmer and
the latter nominal. The news from
Washington and London, though not
very exciting, still told of continued
frmness on the part of Great
Britain, the ministry of which e8un-
try has expressed a determination,
backed up by the united press of Eng
land, Ireland and Scotland, under no
circumstances to recede from the po-
sition they have taken against what is
unquestionably either an attempt TO
swindle or a very gross and stupid
blunder on the part of Grant and his
advisers. We incline TO believe it is
OF the former category. This news
did not affect our market. Nor will
what we publish to-day or may pub
lish tomorrow affect it, because the
good sense Of our sellers teaches them
that war, if it come, can have no
other effect than that Of rapidly in
creasing the price of cotton, every
pound OF which viii be taken as fast
as offered. England must have stock
sufficient to carry her spinners over to
the beginning of next season, when,
perhaps, a spirit Of accommodation,
which should now be cultivated, will
prevail, and the belligerents may
listen to reason. There is neither Oc-
easion nor necessity for cotton sellers
to waver. They must " stifien up"
Everything is in their favor, and |
nothing against. Those who hold |
cotton, hold the equivalent Of gold
that is better than gold, because no
substitute has been discovered that |
can, as paper does with the precious |
metal, take its place. Our cotton sellers
are right to hold on for even better |
than existing rates. Yesterday our
market ruled higher than any other in |
the country. All others were more or
less Influenced by groundless fears.
Memphis alone advanced. Opening |
with a firm feeling, in accordance
with the advice Of the APPEAL, il
to advance, closing firm
and one-eighth cent better. We have
much pride in adverting to this mat
ter, and heartily applaud our mer-
chants for q manifestation Of courage
and good sense that will not be lost on
the country.
