The receipts at tho ports for thc crop year show* a falling ott* of fillly -10 per cent., but ?iis is accounted for* by the asser tions that tho crop is much later than hist year, and that planters are disposed lo hold back their colton for higher prices, ii is also asserted, as working against an advance in prices, that there are immense accumulations of goods in tuc hands of speculators, who are en deavoring to duse them out, thus Inter fering materially with spinners; that the strikes and labor disturbances in Europe will also tend to curtail the consumption Ol'cottou, to which, as Having a similar cii'cct, may bc added the rapid advance hi the cost o? thc staple ariicb-s of food. Hour naving risen si -;i barrel in tho past week. As against these circumstances, I it is elm med that tho natural growth o? thc consumption ol' cotton in tue civiliz ed world will fully make good their ad verse iniluence that there is consequent ly no good reason lo doubt that, at cor responding prices, ns much cotton will be \v:mtcd tor the years io come as was Used in thc years just passed, while til supply can scarcely fail to prove defi cient heneo it is argued that a niue! greater advan e in prices must ink place. ?lau Cnils u iliilc Cr oui :t lintlooti.
