A gentleman who bas about 15 bales of cotton -stored in Chailes ton received a letter a few days ago from the factors stating that long staple cotton was worth 13 Cc?ntB on that day but that a much higher price is expected later; If those who have long staple cot ton will bold it they may yet realize 18 or possibly 20 cents for it.
