Upwards Of three-quarters of a mil
lion Of capital has been realized for
cotton sold during the past week, and
the same has been distributed among
the planters Of the vicinity. The
total amount realized since the first of
last month exceeds 50, OOO, 900 and this
sun has gone far toward relieving the
stringency previously felt. Indeed
several money lOaning corporations
which a few weeks ago reported their
funds exhausted are now fairly we'll
supplied and on the first and fourth Of
next month expect to be quite flush.
Numerous accounts falling due at the
time named will be settled without
asking extensions. The signs there
fore favor easier discount rates in the
near future. At present they rule
unchanged at per cent. Exchange
has been offered freely and rates are
steady at fc off on New Orleans and
New York for sight, and the same for
demand on New England; sight on the
latter is 60 off. Bankers sell drafts on
on New York and New Orleans at
par,
