Cotton.
st. Louis Democrat. ]

st. Louis DemOcrat.l
Messrs. Norton, Slaughter & Co., of New
York, have issued special circular to the
cotton trade, in which they argue money will
accumulate in the banks and in the hands of
private capitalists to such an extent as to be-
come a drug on the market before the winter
is passed. The stoppsge of manufacturing TO
SO large an extent throug bout the country will
necessarily produce this result, as the vast
sums employed in these concerns will no
longer be needed, and as no money has been
destroyed it follows that within compare
lively short period, when capitalists have
begun to tire of keeping their capital idle, it
will begin to seek investment in various ways.
The banks will have it to loan, and it will be
invested in low-pricsd wheat, corn, cotton,
etc., which are now offered in various
markets.
The circular argues from this that sharp ad
vance may be expected to take place in cotton,
and urges spectators to put their money into
it. 1t is argued that the stoppage of the print
works will cause the market to become bare
of goods, and that prices OF goods will adj
vance, and, money being easy and plentiful
in the spring, the factories will be stimulated
into renewed activity, and this will impart an
activity to the cotton market not now expect
ed. 1t is pretty well established law that
one extreme is followed by its opposite. The
chill is succeeded by the fever, and great
stagnation and depression is sure to be fol-
lowed by corresponding degree of activity
and imitation. But how to foresee this SO as
to be able to profit by it is what puzzles the
men who have the funds.

Mr.. Ralph Waldo Emerson has been talk
ing with correspondent of the Concord Mont
tor about the habits of his postical friends.
d" Holiness" says he, :" is SO full that he can
write at any time. Lowell broods over his
subject for time, and then composes with
great swittness. He does not like to write to
order, though DESTROYS of employing the
stimulus of great occasions. We asked him
to read poem at Concord on the one hun
dredth anniversary of the fight, but he said he
could not. His wife, day or two before,
wrote to me, saying L cannot speak for
James, yet 1 think you may expect poem
from him on the - b.
He has been going about for some time in
that peculiar way which is promise of some
thing and on the 18th Lowell was on the
ground with his poem-and grand one it
was. Longfellow prepares his poems to be
read on airy great occasion, as minister Who
lives near Boston prepares his sermons, nearly
year ahead. H, wrote the poem read at
Bowdoin College last summer early in the
