[ From U'ilhnerSy Smith's European Times,June 18,]
Li'/crpool Cotton Market.
REPORT FOR THE WEEK ENDING 'JUNK i].
We close this week with very little, if any
change in prices from Friday of last week; per
haps in some instances, they might be placed a
point higher. During the early part of the week
onr market assumed a dull and drooping appear
ance; Cotton was offered freely, and the buyer,
having plenty of choice, made his purchases at
somewhat lower rates. The business in Manches
ter on 1 uesday not being very encouraging, the
day following passed quietly, the sales being very
small. Thursday an active and spirited demand
sprung up. the day's sales amounting to I*ooo bales,
MMH* of which were taken for export and on specu
lation.
A good demand has*commenced again this morn
ing. This has had the due effect on our market,
prices becoming tinn. and though not able to quote
any distinct advance from last Fridays, yet those
rates in all descriptions are firmly supported. 4500
American, 1000 Surat, 300 Egyptian, and 50 Per
nams have been taken on speculation, and 111.50
American, 80 Pc mam, .‘>s Macelns, and 3t.KJ Madras
for export. The sales for the week amount to 27,-
130 bales. [Geo. Holt Sp Co.
Report fok*thf. week ending June 18.
T»v the Boston steamer, whose accounts we receiv
ed last Monday morning, we have later dales from
America, now showing the deficiency in the crop
as 218,000 bales less than same period last year. All
opinions as the extent of the present crop seem now
fairly settled,none allowing it as over 1850,000 bales,
and many speak of a less figure. In other respects
we have nothing now. These accounts have had
a slightly hardening effects on our market, not.
causing any excitement, but raising a general feel
ing in favor of the article. The trade have been
the chief operators during the week, making their
purchases freely, and aidid by orders for export, onr
market has been very linn, and we must raise qur
quotations on all qualities of American |d per lh.;
other sorts an before. 4000 American and 1000
Surats have been taken on Speculation, and 3200
American, 200 Surats, and KM) Remain for Export.
Sales to day. 5000 hales. Sales for the week, 30.-
400 bales.— Geo. Holt Jj- Co.
M ACON. July fi.— Cotton. —We have no sale to
report since oar last. VI <• quote extremes 10 a-II
cents. Stock on hand, Ist July, 4,775 bales.
Flour brings readily $3 per cwt.
Com 55 t 0.58 cents per bushel. -
Bicoil, bog round, 8 a B .y. Hums 10 a 10.1.
NEW ORLEANS July 3.— Cotton. —Arrived
since the 29th ultimo, 1003 bales. Cleared in the
same time 72b9 bales —making a reduction in stock
of 5( 6fi bales, and leaving on hand, inclusive of all
onshisboard not cleared on the 2d instant, a stock
of 137,011 bales.
The excessively dull and unsettled posrtion of
the Cotton market at the date of our last report
rendered it necessary for ns to omit onr usual table
of quotations*, and although we noticed some few
sales at a slight advance, yet we took occasion to
remark that, what with the absence of foreign orders
by the steamer, the heavy stock, and the advanced
period of the season, the market seemed tending
back to the position which it held before receipt of
the news. The backward tendency of the market
was made distinctly manifest on Wednesday, when
holdern were compelled to tecede from their claims
ot an advance, and some few buyers came forward
and look about 4000 bales. On I’uesdav the demand
was more general, though without any amendment
in prices, and sales to the exent of fully SUOO bales
were effected. Yesterday, also, there was a good
enquiry, and some 1500 bales changed bands, mak
ing a total for the three days of of 14,850 bales, the
great bulk of which has been taken for England,
thought buyers for France, the Continent and the
North have taken some few parcels.
Besides these sales the market has been further
relieved of some 8000 hales by shipments. As re
gard- prices of Louisiana' and Mississippi thev are
nearly hack to the position which thev held prior
to receipt of the Cambria’s advices, as will be seen
on reference to onr quotations, while for Alabamas
and Tennessee they arc fully a £ of a cent lower,
these descriptions being almost whollv neglected,
and embracing the greater portion of the stock.—
N\ e would remark also that onr figures for Louisi
ana-and Mississippi are almost wholly nominal for
all grades above Middling Fair, the demand being
confined almost entirely to the qualities below.—
The total sales of the w eek sum up 15.850 bales.

NOTICE TO COTTON PLANTERS
IN\ ILL say to the cotton planters of Georgia and
South Carolina, 1 have taken the shop formerly
occupied by S. R. Crenshaw, for the purpose of
manufacturing COTTON GINS, and would also
inform them that I have engaged Mr. Crenshaw,
who wid superintend the manufacturing of them.—
My gins shall be made of the best materials, and I
can say with propriety they are the cheapest gins
sold in the Southern States, taking the workman
ship in Consideration, I will warrant my gins no
make cotton equal to any made on any other "-ins
in the Southern Stales, giving the true ‘staple of
the cotton and making it perfectly free of knap and
clear of moats. My gins will be’ delivered at the
purchaser's residence free of charge and w arrant
ed to give ample satisfaction.
All orders addressed to the subscriber will meet
with prompt attention; repairing done in good style
and at short notice. All old gins of 10 inch saw’s I.
will repair and put them on improved principles,
and also warrant them to make as good cotton ns
any of the improved gins, and at a much less cost
than a new gin. J. D. HAMMACK.
Craw-fordville, Ga., May 4.
I will say to the planters who may ;favor Mi*.
Hamm nek with their patronage I will exert all the
ability I have in superintending the shop; and every
gin sent from the shop shall be in complete order,
and warranted to be the cheapest gins ever offered
to the public; and from my long experience in the
business, I know the gins cannot be surpassed, al
though agents from other shops have resorted to
tlie contemptible practice of slandering me and
saying my gins have prostrated me, though it is not
true. In full confirmation of what I say, I offer a
few certificates from gentlemen who have used mv
gins, and could furnish many more of this kind, if
required. 8. R. CRENSHAW.
Drar Sir: I have used the Gin bought of vou f r
two years, and I very cheerfully recommend it to
the Cotton planters of Oglethorpe and other coun
ties of Georgia. It turns oft' sulficiently fast to
make good Cotton—it being 50 saws—will throw
out about 800 lbs. of lint a day. The quality of tl e
Cotton has, in Augusta, ranged half cent higher at
each of my sales than other sales of those' days,
and it has been pronounced by those considered
competent to judge, as in no w-ay inferior to the
Cava Gin. l ours, very respectfully
F. MERIAVETIIER.
April 24th, 1847.
Oglethorpe Co., April 22,1847.
I have used for the last three vears a machine
that was made by 8. K. Crenshaw, of Crawfortl
ville. I consider it one of the best Gins I have
ever seen. Two small mules will gin, w ith a great
deal of ease, three bales per day, and I do not
think there is a gin in Georgia that can excel it in
making fine cotton. In fact, Mr. Crenshaw has
sold a great many gins in this county and Elbert,
and I think that every man who has' purchased is
perfectly satisfied. All of his gins which have been
sold in this county, and they are not a few run light
pick fast, and w-hat is better than all, when the cot
ton is carried to market it sells for the very highest
price C. S. MERIWETHER.
Cra weordVili.e,. May 4, 1847.’
„ i: D certify that I bought of
f renshawlast year, a forty-five saw anti
friction C otton Gin, which performs well and makes
as good cotton as the Carver Gin. in my opinion
P. G. RHOME.
1 Ins is to certify that I purchased one of Mr. 8.
R. Crenshaw s improved anti-friction Cotton Gins
last year, and find it to be superior to anv Gin I
have ever used. I think it superior to the Carver
Gins. It makes superior cotton, giving the true
staple of the article, and gins 900 lbs. of clean cot
ton per day, and runs very light.
