existed here last fall, and the extravagant prices
that were then paid would continue. Fortunes

exchange rather than of purchase. These specu-
lators have foiled entirely. In the first place the
demand does not exist and in tho sooond, addi-
tional ml venturers have made their appearance to
dispute the profits of the trade. An Immense
overplus of goods, aud an immense scarcity of
sold, are the consequences. The values are here,
but cotton buyers have not sold ror cash, and they
are Incapable of buying excopt with gooi's. This
is the condition of tho market at present. Mer-
chants, with their shelves full of goods and tholr
aafos empty of gold, have nothing to offer but
trade for cotton, and that is the basla of nearly
all the transactions that take plaoe lb a atumoros.

is, they aro
prices for cotton
In Europe, and in the United Staten, cotton
holds Its own, and the same may be said of Havana,
and the balance of profit! will aocrue this coming
season to tboxe who ship abroad. The ri tes of ex-
change are decidedly agalim the exportation of
cotton to Havana, aud the delay In obtaining re-
turns from Europe and New York are against
shipments to those ports, unless partlos design
quitting the trade, or unless they Intend to return
goods All these tacts nave their t ffect on the
market to reduce the prices, but the most depress-
ing Influences may be stated in the Interior, and
the large shipments by Government. The Con-
federate States authorities are sending an im-
mense quantity of cotton to this market, and all
government transactions are suppoied to be swln
ales, the hope of buying from public stocks at
lower rates than from private hands makes men
stand still for tho official cotton. Wo are thus
ensblod to account for the reduced prices, and we
