REMARKS,
We have to report « continued dullness in trade,
in nearly all branches of business, except those
articles of provision which Are needed for every
day consumption. Our quotations have not been
mnteritniy altered, with the exception of a decided
Advance in Flour. We linvo carefully examined
and revised our list of quotations, and refer to them
as an index of prices. “
Bacon, whicli, at the date of our report of May 4,
had advanced in Baltimore, Cincinnati, and the
larger markets, has still further advanced in those
markets, and though prices here have stiffened
somewhat, still there Is only a slight advance as
yet, and at the date of this writing, the prices
for Bacon are merely nominal, it being impossible
to get the exact state of the market.
F"iN.visrci>vr..
The demand for ail classes of Securities during
the week has been very dull, principally owing to
the scarcity of money. lYices, however, ure firm,
especially for all the better classes, and we refer to
our quotations, which will be found sufficiently
comprehensive to embrace all the Bank Notes and
Securities usually offered in this market.
The demand for specie during the last week has
been but slight, but owing to late New York advices
there has been an advance in prices. We may
quote (iold and Silver as follows:
Gold, buying 127 a ..
Gold, selling 129 a

Silver, selling 125 a

'V KEKLY CoTTOW CIRCULAR of Win,
Bryce & Cos., Cotton Factors, New York:
1 yjf- Y r k ’ i,a » I!< *. IB6o.—Since our
Mt Circular, dated the 4th inist., was issued
wo have Liverpool advices by the
China to April 2Stb. The report of that
market for tho week shows large *»nsac
tione, amounting to 95,550 bales of all de
scriptions. An advance of about one penny
on American was made early in the week,
but lost toward the close, and the author
ized quotations are about the same as for
the previous week. The entire stock has'
slightly increased, as will bo seen by our
subjoined figures; American Cotton exhi
biting the greatest increase. The immense
stock of East India Cotton afloat and in
port, amounting to 872,000 bales, caused
that variety to be depressed to a point
where it attracted the attention of both ex
porters and spinners, and on this account
tho amount of American taken to the mills
for tho week formed a smaller proportion
than usual—oo,7lo bales being the total
amouut entered for consumption, of which
25,950 bales were American. The entire
receipts at Liverpool for the week were
75,860 bales, of which 33,893 bales were
American.
The bill imposing the five cent tax on
Cotton has not yet become a law, and while
under debate this week, a very considerable
opposition was discovered among the prac
tical Representatives of New England, who
understand the matter in question; while
on the other hand the depth of fanatic igno
rance was touched by Thaddeus Stevens,
who asserted as his belief, that “Free ne
gro s could raise cotton for one cent a
pound.” It is an unquestioned fact that
excessive taxation restricts the production
of any article, whether field or factory, to
which it is applied. Bearing this fact in
miud, and considering the present condi
tion of things in our country, we think
every effort should bo made to stimulate
and not restrict the production of our most
valuable staple, as by so doing the revenue
of the Government is reduced, atid Ameri
can commerce deprived of its most impor
tant power in maintaining the balance of
trade in its favor. We claim that tho crop
will be severely damaged by the imposition
of so large a tax as at present proposed, for
men will be unwilling to risk the invest
ment of their capital in planting an article
where the majority of the profits will be
consumed in the payment of taxes. We
deem it a short sighted policy which would
make the United States endeavor to stimu
late the production of Cotton iu other coun
tries beside our own ; and every increase of
cost imposed on our Cotton beyond a cer
tain limit is leading a helping hand to tho
Cotton growers of other countries. America
can raise Cotton enough to supply the
world and pay the Government a hand
some revenue in addition, but whether Cot
ton, surrounded as its present production is j
with countless difficulties, can stand a tax
of 20 to 25 per cent, on its probable value,
is a question so hazardous we fear to see its
solution attempted. If “Protection of
Home Industry” is to bo the policy of the
Government, then let the industry of the
Cotton States receive it* share of protection.
