MONEY MA MARKET. Tuesday, Feb. 11-6 °. M. e Stock Market has experienced a decided improve it. Quotations to-day do not show an advance from © current yesterday, in every instance, but the slight falling off in some of the securities, is considered unfavorable to a further improve- t.

We have recently learned the particulars case in which the victim, a young and enter- jing merchant, was plucked of a large amount a certain brokerage concern in Wall strect, the ne of which will be made public in a few days, suit has been commence! in the Court of Chance- ind the facts will soon be brought to light. It is highly portant that the names of brokerr, who entice in- perienced individuals into the street for the pur- ie of fleecing them of what capital they may e, by false representations in relation to the value of ek and the nature of the operations in which they en. fe should be known that others may avoid m. After all, the efforts we and others have made induce those engaged in a legitimate line of jiness to adhere strictly to it, and not involve them. e3 in any kind of speculations, it is strange that there so many foolish enough to risk credit and capital in eperations of Wall street. The risk of capital is suf- lent, when dealing in fancy stocks, with honorable , but when an individual falls into the hands of some the brokers of Wall street, every dollar he embarks in p business is lost as soon as he advances it. It is hoped it the chancery suit referred to, will throw sufficient ht upon the transactions, to warn those about entering p street, to be on their guard arid attend to their legiti- te business. Those not in the habit of regularlyvisiting all street, have not the slightest idea ot the number of chants—from importers down to retailers and mechan- i—who are engaged in stock operations. We venture assert that one or more members of more than one-third the mercantile firms in this city are involved in stock eculations with the brokers of Wall street, and a greater mber of these firms are made bankrupt by this cause in any other. T'here are many high minded and hon- ble men engaged in the brokerage business, who con- je themselves strictly to a commission business, and ho never, personally interest themselves in any specu- jive operation ; but where we find one man of this char- ter, we find dozens the reverse,who eke outa livelihood their successful operations with inexperienced specu. ors. The increase in stock speculations and revival of ices for fancies, invariably brings into the street arms of operators—anxious to realize large fortunes in veek or two—who are induced to invest every dollar ley can squeese out of their business, or borrow from jeir frienda, in some fancy stock. ‘The report made by the President of the Long Island iJroad Company, presents a very favorable statement of je affairs of the concern. We annex a table taken from e report, showing the receipts and expenditures, from nuary Ist to Dec. $1, 1844.

By 1eference to the income ccount, it appears that the Company hasderived, in five inonths, ending Jonuary Ist, 1845, more than $70,000, or hear 5 percent net upon ils capitel stock. This sum, {ter making all proper deductions, wou!d have warrant- «1 a dividend of at least three and a half per cent, butthe Hirectors conceived it their duty, under all the circum tances of the case, to apply this income to the reduction pf the debt. Several of the southern papers have, for sometime past, ontained calls for conventions to be held for the purpose of devising ways and means to reduce the cultivation of jotton, or to increase the home consumption of that sta- ple. The only feasible plen would be to increase the modes of consumption, as there cannot be a unity of ac. ion in reducing the cultivation of the article. If is pro- posed to appropriate this article to many uses not hereto- fore applied, and to increase the consumption by extend. ing facilities to manufacturers to establish factories throughout the south, for the manufacture of cotton bag- ging, ticking, rope, twine, &c. The cotton crop of 1942 was 2,374,000 bales ; that of 1843, 2 030,000 bales ; the crop of 1844 will, it is supposed, exceed that of last year at least 250,000 bales. This large supply coming upon the market, which is already over- stocked, must serve to reduce ;rices below a remunerat- ing point’ We cen grow a crop of more than three mil- 1 of bales, and the planters find that it is full time to adopt measures providing for the surplus already on hand, aud to prevent, if possible, the cultivation beyond the ac- tual demand for consumption. The low price of cotton, this reason, will have more influence upen the planters than all the conventions in the world. Many will be compelled to devote part of their plantations to the culti- vation of other staples, such as wheat, corn, wool and madder, while others will continue the cultivation of the same number of acres in cotton, no matter what the price may be. The planters must employ the hands they may have in some way, and, like the farmera of the north, if the profits of any particular ¢rop one season ore not sufficient, they reduce the oultivation the next. So far extent of pro duction gees, nothing is a better regulator than prices ; but ag regards consumption, any measure increasing do- mestic monufactures, consistent with our institutions. shontd at once be adopted. We find in onelot our Southern exchanges the annexed table, estimating the amount of cotton which might be saved to the South, and of the reduction of the stock of cotton forexportation by the general introduction of cot. ton mattresses and cotton blankets and comforts. The estimate is confined to only ten States. Consumption or Corton—Estimaten Inc!

The quantity of cotton consumed in the United States in 1843, according to official returns, did not vary much from four hundred thousand bales, but we estimate that the actual quantity consumed that year, amounted full five hundred thousand bales, as large lotsof the raw materialfound their way from the plantations to the factories, without ~ coming into the reports. The estimate made in the above table in relation to the consumption of cotton in the manufecture of bagging, cannot be considered as #9 much increased consumption, as the manufacture of bagging is already carried on to an extent nearly, if not quite’ sufficient to meet the wants of the country. In Kentucky, last year, there were 600 hand-looms in opera tion, and each of these manufacture 400 yards, on an aver- ‘age per week, or 20,000 yards per month, or 10,000,000 a year. Besides, there are five power looms factories in In- diana, Kentucky and Ohio, which produce 3,800,000. In Tennessee 80 hand-looms produce 1,200,000 yards. Fifty hand-loors in Missouri produce 750,000 yards. The totul amount of bagging estimated for the year, and manufac- tured in 1844 in the west, is 15.750,000 yards, Old Stock Exchange. 107,75 shas Canton C 50,9056 75 don?

Making appropriations to the fortifications of the United States. SUPREME COURT DECISIONS The bill providing tor the distribution among the local authorities of the eeveral State governments, was taken up, read, and laid aside till to-morrow. On motion of Mr. Tarran, the resolution was taken up providing for the distribution of copies of the printed volumes uf the researches, labors, and discoveries of the Exploring Expedition, that is to “fo ea each of these United States, one copy; tothe Gc- vernment o! France two copies; Great Britain twoco- pies; and one copy each Sweden, Denmark, Prussia, Austria, Bavari lands, Belgium, Por: tugal, Spain, Sardinia, Tuscany, the Ecclesiastical States, the Two Sicilies, Turkey, ‘Mexico.

The reso- lution was then egreed to on the part ot the Se- nate [When it goes to the House, Mr. Giddings will doubtless move the gift of a copy to the Govern- mentof Hayti ] The Senate next took vpa bill authorising the Attorney General to contract for copies of a pro- posed edition of the laws and treatiesof the United States. After some discussion “between Me:srs. Allen and Choate, the bill was ordered to a third reading, and subsequently passed. FRENCH 8POLIATIONS The bill to provide for the ascertainment of claims of American citizens for French epoliations on American commerce prior io the 3lst July, 1801, was next taken up. Mr. Cnoate, ever delghtful to hear, and instrue- tive in his beautiful eloquence a: all iimes, erose to the defence ot these claims upoo the govern- ment. He recapitulated the international rejations between France and the United States from the war of the American Revolution ; and explained the nature of these French depredations when our commerce and the settlement entered ivio be- tween the two Governments—the United States assuming the payment of these indemnities to our citizens in covsideration of the services of France to our country in its struggle for independence. The treaty with Great Britain, and other acts of the ‘United. States, declaring the pledged honor of this Government to France, previously given, in the treaty of 1778, for remuneration for the servi- ces of the French’ nation during our Revolution, null and void, did not remove our obl.gations to the French Government, as Mr Choate contend- ed. The justice of this demand of France could not be escaped, notwithstandirg the ioterposing treaty with England, and other uncurrent pro- ecedings of the Government of the United States. Hence arose the especial negotiations between the United States and France for the mutual! settlement on the one part of claims for spoliations ; and on the other, for services in the revolution of 1776, which were arranged by balane- ing the opposing demands, the government of the United States assuming the indemnification of her citizens for the spoliations of France, and relieving her entirely of all the obligations of such indemni- ries on account of the debt of solemn honor, and justice, and gratitude due to her for the timely aid to our feeble hands in the dark hour of trial and despair. Mr. Choate appealed to the honor of the government to act in behalf of these claimants now —and to do something toward the extinguishment of these debts which had stood uncanceiled for forty-four years. At the conclusion of his speech, Mr. Choate gub- mitteda new billas a substitute for that of the Committee of Foreign Relations. The «ubstitute proposes an apmopriation of $5,000,000 to be set epart toward the extinguish- ment of these indemnities, with detailed specificc+ tions, in a eeries of sections, as to the advertise- ments of the Government, the mode of ascertain- ment, settlement, &c. of such claims The substitute was agreed to, and adopted in lieu of the original bill, and the bill as amended was ordered to engrosement fora third reading— yens 26, nays 15, as follows: Yeas—Messrs.
