At the time of issuing ourlast Annu- al Statement the question of supply was the engrossing point; and this—as is usual at so early a period of the tenson—was involved in a maze of uncertainty. The backwardness of the plant throughout the country gane- rally. and the destructive ravages of the caterpillar. which had just commenced, led to serious apprehensions of an important curtailment of the product; particular- ly in the Southern valiey of the breed and also in South Alabama and Texas. These apprehensions rapid- ly gained strength as the season advanced; and it soon became evident that the hopes of the planters had been blasted to an extent which had never before occurred by asimilaragency. Fora considerable period many par ties continued sceptical in regard to the representa- tions of damage to the crops; but their correctness has long since been conceded; and the demonstra- tion is established by @ reference to the receipte at this port, wnich Show a falling off of 334,069 bales, as compared with the previous year. The conviction of a large deficiency in the expected yield soon led to speculative movements, and induced many planters to place high limits upon their crops, as they forwarded thera to market; upder the reasonable expec- tation that when this fact should be known iu Europe— where the stocks were already comparatively limited—a material enhancement of prices would be the natural re- sult. These expectations have been partially attained; and under ordinary circumstances might, perhaps, have been realised to their fullest extent. But it has hap- pened, in the course of events, that the same cause which was most prominent among those which produced disappointment and disaster in 1845—6, has exercised a much more powerful and extended influence during the past season, viz: a famine in Europe It is beyond ques tion that this bas been the main obstacle to a much more considerable advance than has actually occurred in the markets abroad; for—as we have already remark- ed in another place —dear food and dear clothing cannot be maintained at the same time among the consuming masses of Europe—those who usually take the great bulk of the supply; and, conseqi@ntly we see that the quantity taken’ for consump tion in Great Britain, including all descriptions, from January lat to July Ist, of the present year, has been only 590657 bales, against 775,509 vales during the same period in 1846; showing « decroase for the six months of 184,852 bules; or an ave weekly decrease of 7100 bales. During @ considerable portion of the time, however, the ratio of decrease has been much greater; and for some weeks—say in May and June—the sales for consumption scarcely amounted to one-balf the average of the previous year. A similar state of depression. and from similar causes, existed on the Continent; and our home consumption. which St was expected would be materially increased, will be found to have scarcely reached the extent of last year. when it was put down at 422.697 bales. Having thus glanced at what we conorive to have been the main causes of the disappointments to which both producers and pur- chasers have been to some extent subjected, we now pase to a brief review of the couree of our own market w The first «rival of the new crop was on the 7th Au gust, being seven days later than the first receipt in 1346 and fifteen days later than the first receipts in 1844. It was only part ofa bale, however (some 160 pounds), and was evidently forced forward rine saa A to gain the éctat of sending the first bale to market. it was, there- fore, no criterion of the forwardnegs of the crop, as was clearly shown by the fact that up to the first September there were received of the new growth only 140 bales, against 6.846 bales to same period in 146, and 6.720 in 1844. Up to the let September. only four bales of the new crop had been sold, viz :—one (the first received) at 14, two at 9, and o1 10 cents per Ib The recelpta continued very limited for several weeks, and the accounts from the interior i eg the destructive ravages of the caterpillar led to apprehensions of a very material falling off inthe production of the Mis- sinsippi valley, particularly in the States of Louisiana and Mississippi, and oa prices to assume an upward movement;.as a considerable portion of the receipts came in under high limits, or with orders t ithhold them from market, Our quotations on the lat October were 834 # 10 cents per pound, for midding to fair Loui eianas aod Mississippis, and at this date there was a fair demand for France, Spain and the North; but our prices were too high for English orders, notwithstanding the roceipt of comparativly favorable accounts from the Liverpool market. From the Ist of October to the latter if December, the market continued very stead, age range of about 9 a 1030, for middling to fal but at the period last mentioned more favorable accounts from England, combined with the conviction that the i tions, 1 addition to those for export, and suddenly vlevated prices one cent per pound, our quotations on the Ist of January being 10a 11} cents per pound for middling to fair.
