Per “Russia.” The Money market has remained in a monotonous position lor a long time; the fluctuations having been so slight, it has been impossible to vary our report, thus that of each week has been simply a repetition of the preceding one. Capital, being still superabun dant, proves that the energies of the commercial com munity still lie comparatively dormant, and there is unfortunately no immediate prospect of utilizing the vast accumulation of idle money. COTTON. During the summer, we published our Cotton price current only monthly, ou account of so .many ol our friends having gone to places of recreation : the Cot ton campaign having now commenced, it is our inten tion to print it every fortnight; the Telegraph has ren dered a weekly one unnecessary; we purpose however to issue our Corn circular eve ry alternate week to ena ble us to insert a Cotton report, if twe changes of the market should justify one, thus occasionally, our friends may receive details of the Cotton market for three or four consecutive weeks. It is usual to express an opinion at the commence ment of a Cotton season: we shall however refrain from doing so, as it is impossible to give one with any degree of certainty, whilst the future is so obscured; -and circumstances must arise, over which we have no control, to excite or to depress prices: our market too frequently changes capriciously—so lately as Off Sat urday the 26th ultimo, New Orleans “Middling” was sold at 9?£d. f*. lb; and on Monday the 5th instaut, it was quoted at ll ? 4 d. c* lb, making a difference of l ' a d. in nine days; since then, a retrograde movement has had the ascendency and prices have yielded lb. The Cotton market opened on Friday, the commence ment of the official week, ending the 1st of October with considerable despondency of tone, cinauattug from a strong desire to realize, whilst the demand in dicated want of confidence'; prices were easier: on H[ ' * ‘ ‘ »h quota- ... . . j was the Orleans, aud 9? c d. was CHRISTIAN & JOHNSTON, General Commission Merchants, BAY STREET, SAVANNAH, GA.
