THE CHARLESTON 9LVRKET. {FOB THE WEEK ENDING THURSDAY, DECEITS E.P. 13.] COTTON.-The dspression which has for sometime marked the transactions in the staple has, it is reasona? ble to suppose, reached its lowest point. The best in? formation now at hand strengthens; the belief that tho growth of the year will not exceed 1,500,000 bales-a yield which would seem' to justify the opinion that present prices must advance. After some struggle, the English cotton buyers appear to be giving way to this view of the ..situation, and it is not, perhaps, hazarding too much to say that we may look for a gradual but steady rise in the value of the article in the foreign market. The receipts at this point continue steady, being 469 bales of Sea Island and and 5154 bales of Upland cotton, against 461 bales of Sea Island and 4760 bales of Upland the week before. Tho exports were 222 bales of Sea Island and 2128 bales of Upland cotton, against 253 bales of Sea Island and 4591 talcs of Upland cotton the week previ? ous. It will be noticed, by the following report of the business of the week, that the market opened dull and declining, but for several days past there has been an active demand, with a decided upwasd tendency in prices, and the transactions, which amount to 3700 bales, are larger than any previous week of the season. On Friday, the 7th instant, the market was character? ized by a fair demand-at steady prices, the sales being ?bout 444 bales, Middling Cotton being quoted at 31c. ito. On Saturday the declining condition of the foreign market caused prices in most cases to falloff about J?c. 3 fis., but sellers were not generally accepting those rates, and the business ot the day was only 106 bales, Middling Cotton selling at 30J?a31c. ^ Tb. On Monday thc market was dull, and buyers were generally unwilling to purchase, except?t easier prices, holders being indisposed to yield. The market was nearly at a stand-sales 112 bales. On Tuesday there was a very active demand, the busi? ness of the daytseing some 1400 bales at about previous prices, viz: 30c. for Low Middling, 31 for Middling, and 32c. ^ Hs. for Strict Middling Cotton. On Wednesday the improved state of the Liverpool market enabled sellers to force up prices about a half cent SJ.-the sales for the day being 600 bales-Mid? dling Cotton selling for 31 }?, and Strict Middling Cotton at 32>?c. i& SJ. Yesterday there was quite an active and somewhat ex? cited market, buyers generally purchasing with eager? ness, and taking, during the day, about 1050 bales, at an irregular advance of a half to one and a half cents $ Hs. The transactions were : 8 at29}? ; 40 at 30 ; 77at80>? ; 42 at 31 ; 155 at ; 214 at 32 ; 227 at 32% ; 76 at 33 ; 105 at $3% ; 32 at 33??f and 19 bales of Zipporah Cotton at 35c. $ Hs.

MOBILE, December 8-COTTON-The report of a de? cline in Liverpool, published this morning, has had the effect of lowering the ideas of holders, but at the same time the quoted figures of brokers show but little change from yesterday's rates. Some few sales have been effect ed at 29a29%c, but at these figures the market is vory -hard. In fact, except in cases of necessity, holders will not transact at their ideas.

The New York Evening Post, of Tueaday, the 11th inst, ??ye: The tone of feeling in Wall street is one of suspense and incertitude. Every one seems to regard the state of j the currency with distrust. Consequently, general busi? ness is depressed and confidence is perturbed. The currency derangement which is dreaded directs the attention of the public to three principal pointe: first, it is feared that Congress may pass some measures for a more rapid contraction than that of lour millions a month authorised last session in the law bf 13th April. For this fear there is probably not the slightest fonnda til8econdly, it is anticipated that Mr. Mcculloch may ab? sorb and destroy the four millions of greenbacks this month and next in too sudden and hasty a manner, and instead of distributing the work over tile entire month may do it in a few days. In confirmation of this view we are pointed to the statement that although seven months, from April to October, were appointed for cancelling fourteen mAMmm of greenbacks, tile whole was done in the four last weeks of the period, when the fall ba sin ess was-brisk, and made no attempt to do it during the five or six previous ?weeks, when the currency could better. have been spared without injury to trade. Thirdly, there isa widespread apprehension lest Mr. Mcculloch may sun gold and lock np temporarily in the Treasury a few million of greenbacks. Those, however, who are supposed ta know the purposes of the Secretary, deny that this is one of them. The loan market is easy, but a little more active, the rate being 6, with exceptions at 5, and a considerable ag? r?gate of undisturbed loani at 7. - Discount? are dun at .a& Aa the number of banks is. increasing whose re? serve of legal tenders falls below 25 per cent, there ls some anxiety manifested, and this especially as the sixty millions o? legal tenders held by our city banks consist of twenty-five minions of compound notes, and only thirty-five minions of greenbacks, Now, th* latter alone axe employed In actual business for payments over the counter, while the compound notes-though nominally legal-tender currency, and reckoned aa reserve-are really not available, inasmuch as they have so much in? terest accrued upon them. - Hence the actual greenback reserve is reduced to-thirty-flve millions. < For gold this forenoon the following were the leading quotations: 10:00 137; 10:90 186%; 11*? 137%; 11:30 ?37%; 12:00 187%; 12:30187%; 1:80 137%; 2:00137%. The Treasury on Saturday held gold to the amount of $96,722,000, of which ?20,160,380 were held on gold cer? tificates. We subjoin a tabular statement of the aggre? gate amount of certificates which have boen issued sod redeemed, with the amount outstanding on Saturday. PRODUCE MARKET.
