COTTON In New York.
The New York Bulletin of the 23d inst.
says: -
A review of the market for cotton In the
past week is rendered extremely difficult by
the course which affairs have taken in the
STOCK Exchange and with the city banks.
These have been fully stated and discussed
IN the appropriate columns, and need no
more than incidental reference here. 1t is
OF course but natural that the action of the
banks should he more or less misunderstood,
and create some confusion from this cause,
as well as from Its more legitimate infu-
ence. What the full effect in business
circles has not been fully determined at this
writing.
"sPoTs."
An important event of the week is q re-
Vislon OF quotations on the basis of new
costons. This took place on Friday last.
Ordinary and good ordinary were reduced
sc; third good ordinary, &c; low middling,
lie; middling, &c, and good middling, &c.
The greater decline In the better grades was
owing to the fact that the receipts of new
cotton have thus far been mostly of the
better grades-these becoming plenty, while
the lower grades were scarce. The panic

ef1ect than to bring business to stand still.
Indeed, it was the common remark on
Saturday that man might as well incur
the expense of holding his property as run
the risk of not getting pay for it if he parted
with 1t. We had, however, after 'Change
on Saturday, an mixing of what would have
been the result of pressure to sell, while
low middling nplsnds were quoted on the
spot at 1910, and for all September at 1916,
there were sales of two lots of 100 bales
each for September, "short notice" at Tic,
a decline Of &c from the price In the regular
way" This indicates the state of affairs
below the surface. The market opened to-
day dull and nominal.
FUTURES.
The feature of the past few DAYS has
been the almost total suspension of bust
ness for the later months, and especially for
the first three months of 1874. For Sep
tember and October The business has ap-
parently teen brisk, but In reality it has
been mainly in the way of settlements"
The condition of monetary affairs, the de-
.ay In moving the crop, and the many OBJ
stacles to business with which the early
future Is encumbered,s have all induced
degree of caution that few have bad the
boloness to shake off. The following are
some Of the leading prices Of the week:

CINCINNATI, Sept. 25.-Mstters were In
q condition on Change to-day to render it
difficult to furnish quotations; there was no
pSnicky feeling whatever but general dis
position to stand still on the part of both
buyers and sellers of everything; the action
of the banks here was generally unexpected
and the discussion of this consumed the
time, there are some who believe the course
was not q wise one, but the prevailing OPT
Mon is that it was precautionary measure
justified By the obligation which the banks
owed to the general business community.

are not disposed to operate and holders are
disiAcliued to put anything on the market,
knowing they would have to submit to
decline. Ia view Of the present disturbed
condition of financial affairs; there is dis
position to wait in the expectation that
matters will 10 few days ge5 back to their
old channel. There was generally i'm
proved feeling at the close of this afternoon.

SENATOR MORTON A LITTLE ON THE FENCE
Senator Morton, in q speech at Athens, Ohio
on Saturday, before large gathering of re-
publicans, to open the political campaign in
that State, touched upon the Congressional
back-pay grab. He did so reluctantly, how
ever, and only when urgently called upon for
his opinion. He. said he did not take the
back pay and never expected to take it.
This announcement created applause, showing
that even among the republicans of the West
the back-pay action of Congress is denounced
But the astute Senator saw at once the neces-
sty of protecting his party by saying favor
able word for his republican Congressional
colleagues. He remarked, therefore, that
while he entertained views against voting and
taking back pay it was due to other members
of Congress who voted for and received it TO
say that they thought they had right to it.
This special pleading will hardly save the
back-pay grabbers.
