Mr. Editor .—I see in your issue of this morn ing. some comments on the celebration of the fourth inst., in which you very justly, as I think condemn the taste of the Orator of the day in making a ■political speech to a particular party. when he should have delivered an Oration to his audience, as a part of the American people , upon the subject which he had been called on to dis cuss, and which was the only proper one for the occasion, to wit: the birth of American Inde pendence. Allow me, through your columns, to notice, more at length than you have done, cer tain portions of his (by courtesy) “ Oration.” Knowing as I did, the undoubted ability of the gentleman. I was much pleased when I heard that he had been selected as the Orator for the fourth, and 1 went with the expectation of en joying an intellectual treat. In this, by making dueullowance for his somewhat too llowing style, particularly in the opening part of his speech, I was not altogether though somewhat disappointed. However, “ Aliquamlo dormitat Homerus ,’ And as the Orator would perhaps himself say, if speaking of a similar kind of composition from the pen of a third person, there were occasional bright and vivifying scintillations issuing from the dark cloud of politics, in which he had en veloped his Oration, which showed that the elec trical bat tery of talent and of genius was behind it. My object, however, is neither to criticise his style of composition (however broad the ground for such criticism) nor his taste in the selection of his subject; but mainly to allude to one or two of the arguments (perhaps I ought rather to say assertions) made use of in the course of his re marks. After a five minutes' allusion to the bat tles of the revolution, the Orator gave us a rapid review of the political history of the country, from the Declaration of Independence to the pre sent tiijjfi:. By the way, in tiiis five minutes al lusion./the Orator, in speaking of the British re gimen/1' °“at over at that time to subdue the re kNlQMcolonies. calls the*: regime, nts ‘ be fore yhom the ‘ old guard’ itself had melted a way* —a slight piece of anachronism hardly al lowable in extemporaneous speaking—certainly unpardonable in an Oration deliberately written in the closet. The Orator was more happy in the dates of his political review. At first I was at a loss to conjecture what was the object of this descent from the period of time, within which I thought he ought properly to have con lined himself. When, however, he got to the " glorious Union.'" I began “to see, as through a glass, dimly.” Political distinction has tempted many men, and will doubtless tempt many more —nor do I blame the ambition, which seeks it, if it is sought at the proper time and place. The gentleman has unquestionably the talents to rise to distinction with his party, if he will only hide his time, and not seek inappropriate occasions to display his capacity of being a leader in Israel. When the Orator got as far down as ’32 in his review, he indulged in some pleasantry at the jxpense of our sister State over the liver. Among other matters, with reference to the “ bill of abominations,” saying, as near as I can recollect (the Orator must make tine allowance for the inaccuracy of memory, if I am incorrect,) that upon the passage of that law, " thirty thousand swords leaped from their scabbards, and the Hearts of thirty thousand heroes beat with war like patriotism, backed by a reserve corps ot their wives and children.” Admit what the gentle man meant for ridicule to ba true, he is certainly dassicalenough in his reading to remember, that when the women of Carthage cut off their hair to make bow-strings for their husbands in the third Punic war, it required a second Scipio, '• backed by a reserve corps” of traitors within the walls, to lay that magnificent city in ruins. iVithout pretending to compare South Carolina with this ancient empress of the seas, 1 think a lue regard for the sensitive State pride (would ,vc had a little of it) of the people of that State would have spared them this, among other pieces >f attempted ridicule, particularly as it is but rea .onable to suppose that some of them were pre <ent. But to the most important part of the Oration, he denial of the right of secession. Though I enow that Cobb, the leader of the Orator's party, s supposed to deny this right, (yet even he lias ! lot dared to make the statement openly,) I con fess I was somewhat startled to hear that doc rine openly pronounced from the rostrum, by me from among the mass of his supporters—for 1 presume Mr. Collier cannot yet. be considered one of the wire-workers. In the course of that part of his speech upon the Constitution, the Ora tor. as I understood hin», advocated a strict con struction of that instrument, using the legal a maxim. “ expressio unius, exclusio est alterius.” Apply this maxim in considering the right of se ■ession. What article of the Constitution is it, n which the States either expressly or implied y, surrender their sovereignly ? As the States iave nowhere in the Constitution surrendered heir sovereignty by express words, and as no on sol idation ist has yet been able to point out nv particular article, which can be reasonably mstrued into such surrender, i. e. which can iow that it was the intention of the framers, and ie Orator knows that this must govern, what iver be the words of the instrument—to make he surrender, I thiijk that by applying the Ora or's own maxim, the right of secession is de nonstrated. But perhaps the Orator thinks that he surrender of sovereignty follows as a legal onsequenee from what is surrendered in express irnis. Out of the innumerable attributes of sov •reignty the States have surrendered to Congress ertainly not over the one-hundredth part : but id mi t, for the sake of the argument, that they iave given up one-half. Now apply the gentle nan's principle of strict construction; here are wo powers claiming to be the sovereign. One, iy the supposition, derives all its authority from • he other; again, by the supposition, it possesses mt one-half the attributes of sovereignty.— Moreover, that over which they both claim con rol, is the right of the original sovereign to with traw front a partnership or confederation for the nanagement of which, and only for such manage nent, one moiety of her sovereign rights had ieen surrendered; lastly, in the articles of part nership. or confederation, i. e. the Constitution— under which the derivatio sovereign claims, not a A'ord is said about the surrender of sovereignty 1 ■o nomine. I ask, according to the principle of triet construction, to whom does the sovereign lower, particularly with reference to this subject, lelohg ? undoubtly to the original sovereign. But, perhaps, the gentleman argues after this ' The power is expressly given to Congress L £H§fmit new States to accede to the Union—tkere ■ i upon the principle, that the expression of i- , , »'mg is the exclusion of another, she cannot iHow \hem to secede. To illustrate, A. &B. are 1 lartners’by the articles of partnership, they are lermitted to allow C. to enter the firm. C. en ers. and by entering he is forever debarred from lissolving! The illustration shows the utter alacy of the argument. But the gentleman says we have the “ inestimable right 1 ’ of revolution, md that it makes no difference by what name ,'ou call resistance. Here I take issue with the gentleman, and insist, that it makes all the dif ference in the world. If I take up arms for the state of Georgia, in the event of secession, and .im taken prisoner by the armies of the General Jovernment, 1 am liable to be hanged as a traitor iccording to the doctrine of the gentleman—it he right of secession is admitted, I am only a irisoner of war. This, it strikes me, is somewhat if a difference. With regard to the late Compromise, the Ora tor expressed the opinion, that it is not al ogether just to the South, but that it was :onstitutional, and so long as Congress passed •onstitutional laws, we might to submit. The Constitution provides for its own amendment.— ' Suppose (as is not at all improbable) the free itates acquire such a majority as to enable them ;o constitutionally amend the Constitution so as to ;ivc them complete control over our “ peculiar institution,” and they were so to amend it— vould the gentleman submit ? If I understood ns,speech correctly, for consistency's sake, he mould have to. In conclusion, I would remark, that when I peak of resistance, Ido not mean secession. I lelieve if a decided stand is now taken by the iouth, that the remedy for any violation of the Compromise, is within the Union. lam willing o let that past Compromise stand. But for the uture, I shall vote with that party which I be ieve is devoted to the interests of the South. I don’t know, Mr. Editor, that the Oration of [ .he 4th inst. required the extended notice I have given it, but I think that this doctrine of seces sion,- and the position of both parties upon it should be clearly placed before the people oi Georgia, during the approaching canvass, as we may possibly have ultimately to try the right Auditor. Southern Rights Meeting in Warren. According to previous notice, a portion of the Southern Rights Party of Warren county, met in the Court House in Warrenton—when, on motion. Ezra McCrary was called to the Chair, and John J. Pilcher, requested to act as Secre tary. By request of the Chairman, Wm. Gibson, Esq., briefly stated the object of the meeting to be, to select Delegates to the Congressional Con vention to be held in Augusta on the 12th inst., when, on motion, the Chair appointed a Committee of Nine to select Delegates, which Committee consisted of Wm. Gibson, Georga W. Hardaway, Rev. Wm. Abbott, John L. Burk halter, Thomas Joy, Sr., John English, Rev. Peter Usry, Hiram Robert, and Jas G. Swain, who, after retiring for a short time, returned and reported the names of the following persons as suitable Delegates to said Convention: M. JtL Hubert. Col. A. Beall, Wm. Gibson, and Ezra McCrary—which Committee reported resolu tions that were unanimously passed by the mee ting, recognizing the sovereignty of the States, and heartily approving the nomination of Charles J. McDonald as our candidate for Governor. On motion— Resolved. That these proceedings he signed and forwarded to the Augusta Repub lic and Constitutionalist , for publication. On motion, the meeting then adjourned. EZRA McCRARY, Chairman. John J. Pilcher, Secretary. July Ist, 1851. (Correspondence of the Journal of Commerce) San Francisco, May 31. 1851. Since the departure of the last mail steamer, business of all kinds has been feartully depressed, amounting to a perfect stagnation in trade gen erally, and prices have fallen off to a point, even below those current before the lire. The auction rooms arrfitted with th> choicest goods. At Middleton’s large room, on Monday last, there was on the catalogue nearly 800 “lots" of assort ed merchandize. The sale commenced at 10 o’clock, A. M., and was continued without any intermission until 20 minutes after i 1 o'clock at night. The average prices obtained for boots and clothing was fully 20 per cent, below New Pork cost prices. The goods offered were generally seasonable, and in perfect condition. .Most of them were specially adapted to the present wants and prevailing tastes of the people. Slill jobbers have no money, no confidence, no dispo sition to purchase goods at any price. The fact is, that our merchants as a body are used up, and what little cash means they have left, is all be ing absorbed in paying heavy monthly rents,and still heavier freight bills on the enormous stocks of goods arriving by the clipper ships from New Pork. We have had no failures among the trading community; but such a feeling of despondency and general depression among all classes was pro bably never before witnessed in any city on the Pacific coast; and where it will end none can tell. That goods must advance eventually, is evident to any observing mind, bnt when that time will arrive, none can predict.—There are a vast many ships yet to arive here. The lleet of merchantmen which sailed irom the Atlantic ports in December, Jan. and Feb. are yet to come in. All are filled to their utmost capacity with good goods, at high rates of freight, to con sume the life blood which yet remains to our merchants; —all to be sent home by the return steamers in gold dust, which is now and has been almost a drug in our market for the fort night past, at sl6 per ounce, for pure clean dust. Exchange has fallen to par on the principal At lantic cities, while gold of California coinage is a drug at 7to 10 per cent discount, owing to the fact of the destruction by fire, and necessary tem porary suspension, of the United States Assay Office. The amount of building going on in this city is truly enormous. I’ll venture the assertion that there are to-day more buildings now erected and tenantable in the City of San Francisco, than there were on the 3d of May last, prior to the great conflagration, It is true that the burnt dis trict is not all built upon, but new sites and new localities have been occupied, and the work of erecting more "fire brands” goes bravely on. A great number of vacant stores “to let,” are to be seen in all parts ol‘ the city, and not a few eligi bly located gaping for occupants, to the asking tune of $250 to .*SOO per mouth rent—a sum which few are able to pay. The average cost of the stores and tenements erecting, will not ex ceed $2,000 each, and it is expected that they will pay for themselves in less than a year, if not burned down in the interim. Our carpenters and mechanics generally are reaping a rich harvest, realizing as they do their 88 per day; day laborers 85 per day, while their board is but sio to sl2 per week; leaving the former a clear $lO per week, for remittance home to their families, which is sure io go,as things are now constituted. At least two-thirds of the money received for labor is remitted by the first steamer alter earned, and that is estimated at about one hundred thousand dollars per day. So that between the mechanics and ship owners, we are made to disgorge some 'Two mil lions of dollars once every fortnight, to say lioth ingof the drain for goods consumed and sold at auction; and few are sold otherwise at present. It is well for us that our Golden Hills are capa ble of yielding a sufficiency of their goldpn sand to supply this enormous and constantly increas ing drain. Read the following as specimens of the many similar mines: Murphy’s New Digisings. —A corresponden dent of the Samara Herald gives a most flatter ing account ol the mines of Murphy’s Diggings. He says that some time in January last, Joshua Talbott, of Mississippi, discovered, about hall’ a mile south of that place, a rich placer, upon a hill about 200 feet above the level of that Hat, that has almost universally well paid the miner lor his labor. The original discoverer was paid from the top to the bottom of his claim (HO feet square) in coarse gold (from 3 to 12 feet deep) form $6 to 100 the cart load. Extending in a N. E. direction, the diggings grew deeper and richer, and men are still sinking holes every day from 60 to 70 feet deep The belief is now uni versal, that the diggings extend some three miles. The yield to the panful of dirt from the bottom of these holes, is enormous, in most instances ap proaching an ounce. There are now some 300 miners at work on the hill, which is in Calaveras j county. Tiie Potato Crop. —The Potato crop in Cali fornia the present year promises to be a very ex tensive one. In the County of Santa Cruz alone, it is calculated that half a million dollars worth ol j iota toes will be raised, supposing them to bring four cents a pound. It is truly a melancholy sight to walk through the burnt district, and witness the Hodge Podge collection of jumbled up matter, articles of mer chandise and the like, which have been thrown by the fire and are now lying in such rich con fusion in our streets and along the wharf sides.— On the side of Long Wharf, iron posts with their legs peeping out of the mud, potatoes and onions throughly roasted and like the Dead Sea's fruit which " falls to ashes on the lips"—grindstones getting soaked through, tin kettles, sardine boxes, lobster cans, barrels, and almost every variety of articles imaginable, lie knocked together and rest ing in the mud. from which most of them will probably he fished up one of these days. What a fine harvest-field San Francisco’ offers at the present time to those industrious Germans who preambulate the streets of the city of New York with a basket in one hand and a broomstick with a nail on it in the other, fighting the bogs and dogs for the half-picked bones in the gutters. On the night of the 17th May, and during the Sabbath following we had a very considerable fall of rain, which coming entirely unexpected to all, (being out of season.) caught multitudes of our citizens with rootless houses and stores, in process of erection upon the burnt district. Not a few of the buildings were well filled with new goods, all of which were more or less injured by the torrents of rain which came pouring in up on the truly unfortunate occupants. The Herald holds the following language : Late Rains. —AVe have since the fire expe rienced unusually severe winds, that setting in from the ocean came sweeping over the hills, carrying clouds of sand and dust down aur streets. On Saturday night it blew almost a gale—all day long the sand had been Hying before the wind, inducing some to suppose that we should have rain. About midnight the rain did commence to fall and continued to do so all day yesterc\ay. This is as unusual at this season of of the year as it is agreeable. The dry season or dinarily sets in long before this, during which rain is unknown. Last year it ceased raining to wards the end of March, and by this time the grass had begun to look dry and crisp. Now ve getation. “ rejoicing in the latter rains,” is as green and luxuriant as the agriculturist could wish. The Mexicans have really begun to be lieve that the inroads of the Americans have changed the climate. They say that it was the same way whilst our army was In Mexico —the season being materially modified. So in Califor nia, such a dry winter—so wet a spring—rain as late as the 18th of May, they declare was never known before. Whatever the cause however, the effect is certainly to be rejoiced at. With us laying the intolerable dust—in the country, re freshing and newmg vegetation, giving promise of a glorious yield to the labors of these who have undertaken to cultivate the soil in Califor nia. The experience of this year will satisfy those who have engaged in agriculture, and will here after induce thousands of others to apply them selves in the developement of the great resources of our tertile plains and valleys. Quite a number of very solid substantial brick buildings are now in process of erection upon Montgomery street The most prominent is that belonging to the express establishment of Messrs. Adams & Co., upon their old site oppo site the former custom-house The walls are at least two feet in thickness, of brick, and ii is in tended that no wood work shall be exposed. We fancy that Messrs Adams & Co., may (eel per- fectiy safe from fire when their new building is completed. Mr. Davidson, agent of the Rothchilds, is put ting up a Banking-house, the walls of which are to be of solid brick masonry. The same is also being done by Burgoyne & Co., and others, with the confident expectation of their being perfect ly fire-proof, and v’hich would no doubt be the case, were they us. ng lime in their mortar; but this cannot be had, and they are obliged to use cement in lieu thereof, which is not at all suited to the purpose, and must prove abortive in the day of trial. A most pharasaica! farce was enacted in our city three days since, by Thomas Butler King, the collector of the port, in the removal of the sub-treasury from the vault under the old Cus tom-house ruins. The Alta describes it as fol lows : Military Movements Extraordinary —Re- moval of the Deposits. —Yesterday morning, about eleven o’clock, an extraordinary scene, for these peaceful times, was presented upon Mont gomery street. Since the fire, the custom-house funds have remained in the vault of the old cus tom-house. at the corner of California street, wnerc they have been watched by a strong body of custom-house inspectors. The new custon house, at the comer of Washington and Kearny streets, being ready for occupation, the specie re maining in the vaults was removed there. A force of about theirty men.armed with carbines and short swords, was arrayed in front of the oid ruins, while the specie was being loaded in the cart, while the Collector, mounted upon a pile of ' bricks, with a drawn revolver in hand, and de termination depicted upon his countenance! stood ready to resist to the death any attack that should be made upon him or the funds. When the specie j was loaded, the carts moved off, guarded on both sides by the carbineers, who looked exceedingly I ferocious, most of them being gentlemeu of the marine profession, with very large and black whiskers. The train, as it moved up Montgom ery street, with the Collector at its head, resem- j bled the entrance into a city of a victorious army, : laden with the spoils of war, ora quarter mas-! ter's wagon, just returned from a foraging expo- : dition into the country. What the fear was which caused this military exhibition, we could " not learn. Either it was supposed that some squatter intended to settle upon the vault, or else i that a grand onslaught was to be made in broad j daylight upon the funds. In this manner six ! loads, and about a million and a quarter of dollars i were transported from the old custom-house to i the new one. It is a little strange that the idea of having two or three pieces of artillery to add to the protec tion of the specie did not strike Mr. King. A couple of six pounders would have stricken grea ter terror to the hearts ot the awed multitude ! who witnessed this singular proceeding than did ] even the appearance of Mr. King himself with his large-sized loaded revolver by his side. San Francisco, May 31st.—Three weeks ago a large portion of the city lay in ruins. Ten thousand people had been burned out of their houses or places of business. Fifteen hundred or two thousand buildings were in ashes; five thousand people were in the streets, houseless, homeless. Since then there has been nothing but activity and life. Such a serenade of plane and sSw, clattering hammer and ringing trowel, rattling timber and rumbling drays has not been heard on the continent. Some of our streets have already their lines of houses complete, and many , a new comer can scarcely believe, as you tell hini how that less than three weeks ago half of a square mile of the city was nothing but blacken ed desolation. The Stockton papers give very encouraging accounts of the rebuilding of Stockton, where it was burned down recently. The Journal says: So far has the recuperative spirit of oar citizens ■ already driven the work, that to a stranger it would be impossible to tell the extent of the con- j Hagration, save as it was marked here and there ori the outskirts, with its heaps of ashes. Stock ton lias risen Phcenix like from its ruins, and it has been accomplished by a perserveranee and energy which is indomitable and worthy of a belter late in the future. Real Estate. —The recent public sale held at the California Exchange, would indicate an irn- 1 proved state of feeling in regard to the value of Real Estate. In certain portion;, of the city, especially those approaching the bay, lots are held even higher than they were two mouths since. For the purpose of giving our readers some idea.upon this matter, we have taken an extract from the sales of Mr. Kendigof Saturday last: 1 Lot corner of Front and Central wharf. 20 by 00 feet, $5,37-3. 1 Lot on Central wharf, 20 by 00 feet, $3,375. 1 Lot on Central w liar!, 20 by 00 feet, $3,350. 1 Lot on Sacramento wharl, 20 by 00 feet, SI,OOO. 1 Lot on Sacramento wharf. 20 by 00 ft, SI,OOO. 1 Lot on Sacramento wharf, 20 by 00 ft, $4,000. 3 Lots on Pine sf,\vith improvements, $2,700.

She has been absent upward of eight months, during which time she has visited the Sandwich Islands, the Marquesas group, the Society Islands, and the Navigator.. Staple for Mr. Cobb’s Speeches. As Mr. Cobb is on his winding way among the people of South-Western Georgia, trying to enlighten them on the subject of Federal all'aits, and drumming for votes, we hope that he wiil give tneni some information concerning the wire-working' in which he has been engaged at Washington; something about the coalition; the Washington nomination, and that suppressed let ter. Is it a lact that Mr. Stephens is to be made Senator in place of Mr. Berrien? is Mr. Toombs to be the next spsakei of the House ofßepre re n tatives? if so will Mr. Cobb and his friends help to do it? Was there any understanding between Mr. Cobb and the Free-Soilers when he formed , the committees of the House of Represntatives. by which he ‘’sold himself for a mess ol pottage/’ as charged by the Savannah Republican? The people are interested in knowing something about these things. It would also be interesting to know why he has joined hands with the Federalists, against the Democratic Republican Party and the triends of the rights of the States. Will he attempt to ( gull the people with the stale cry that there is now danger of disunion? Such a resort will not satisfy the people? They will require reasons in which there is common sense and plausibility.— Albany (Ga..) Patriot , 4 th inst. Extract from a letter of one of the passengers on board the Florida, on her last trip to New York, dated Nf.w-Yoiik, July 1. The steamship Florida has outshone herself. This is the best run made yet. We were at quarantine at 4 o’clock this morning. The voy age was very pleasant, something of a rolling sea, moderate winds but fair and clear weather. We passed the Marion last night at 9 1-4 o’clock. Having started two hours after her, this may be called a tremendous beat, unless something happened to her machinery. We were about 59 1-2 hours including a half hour’s difference in time, and about an hour's stop at quarantine, yet were about four hours shorter time from wharf to wharf, than the Marion, and yei her captain reported f>4 hours. [As the difference in distance from Savannah j to New York, and from Charleston to New York, i is equal to seven hours run; if the Marion had 1 sailed from Savannah with the Florida, the beat would have been derm hours. — Eds.

A New Variety of Siiee. —The Providence Journal notices a new variety ot' sheep, a ram and a ewe, just imported from Africa, and intend ed to be conveyed to the fine sheep larm of M. 15. Ives. Esq., at Potowomut. They came from the mountains about 300 miles in the interior, from the East coast of Africa, and were a present from H. B. M. Con sul in Zanzibar to a gentleman in Salem. The variety is entirely new and quite unknown to naturalists. It is distinguished by the enormous fatness of the tail, and a singular dewlap, resemb ling that of cattle, and the absence of horns in the ram. The wool is very coarse, more resembling liair than the article which is beginning to from so important a staple in the productions of our State; hut in recompense of this, the mutton is said to be unrivalled in flavor and tenderness; and it is probable that by judicious crossing with our native breeds, a very important variety may be produced, sustaining, or perhaps improving, the well-known reputation of Rhode Island mutton, and not depreciating its fitness for wool.

REMARKS.—Our Commercial Season is drawing to a close, and from the tables published by us this morning our readers will be able to form a pretty accurate idea of what will bo the increased reeoipts this year over last. Os the growing crop, we can speak with no cer tainty. as between this and frost tho plant is liable to many mishaps, which may cut it short. From present appearances, however, the recent favorable weather has been very beneficial to both Corn and Cotton in this section, and there is promise of a fair yield of both.— The prospects of a good Cotton crop has materially im proved. and unless wo are visited by an early frost, from the increased quantity planted the yield this year must be larger than that of last. The Receipts at the all the ports up to the latest dates received, it will be seen are 2,236,895 bales against 1,992,- 624 last year, being an increase of 294.271 bales. The Stock remaining on hand is 08.530 bales less than the amount held at the same time last year. The Shipments to Foreign Ports show an increase to Great Britain of 375.342 bales; to France of 30.313; and to other Foreign Ports of 82,089 bales, while the falling oil to Coastwise ports is 127.593 bales. The total in crease to all ports is 360.150 bales. The consumption of Cotton at the South is daily in creasing, and although there is a falling off iif the ship ments to the North, if our annual tables are correctly made up, and the amount consumed at the South cor rectly stated, wc think no falling off in consumption in the United States will be exhibited. We would be much obliged to our friends in this State, South Carolina and Alabama, connected With manufacturing establishments, if they would furnish us before the first of August, or at tho latest by the mid dle of September, with the amount of Cotton consumed in their establishments. COTTON.—Our market opened on Wednesday last with a good demand, which continued during Thursday, Friday and Saturday—on the latter day holders, gene rally. realized a slight advance on the parcels sold, hut not sufficient to alter previous quotations. On Sunday the Baltic's advices came to hand, noticing a decline in the Liverpool market of )d. These advices had an un favorable intluence on our market, and transactions were, in a measure, suspended, on Monday neither bu yers or sellers showing much disposition to operate. The few sales made, however, wero at a slight re duction from the prices paid on Saturday. On yester day, (Tuesday.) the same feeling was manifested, aud our market closed with so little business doing, that it is Impossible to give quotations with any accuracy, and wo therefore omit them. Os the stock of Cotton at present on hand, the greater portion is held by’ plan ers, who are reluctant sellers at present prices.
