"WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 19, 1866. THIS COTTON TRAJDJB. ?EOUTIATIONS OF THE GBO WEBB AND DEAX&B3 DT INDIA. We take the following from an exceedingly inter? esting editorial in the Times of India, of October 10, published at Bombay: In the slightly renewed firmness observable in /the Liverpool market there ia a crumb of comfort for creditors and the holders of document bills; but wo trust there is uo dangor of any European merchants being thereby deceived in rogard to any prospective busraoss in cotton. As to the native dealers, they must bo left to feel the smart from the rod they are laying in pickle for themselves. We notice, in our weekly contemporary's report on the export trado, the remark: "Our market here has continued very ?troag during tho past week. Prices have gradually hardened, and to-day close about 40rs per candy higher than on last Satur? day." In accordance with this remark, Dhollera is quoted 290rs. per candy (9Jd. in Bombay), and sawginncd Dharwar S05rs. (9Ad). Now, we think it must be evident to any one in a fair position for estimating the prospect of tho cotton market at homo t at tho prices in Bombay are just about twioe tho figure which is safe for shipments around the Cape. It is, o? course, possible that cotton may again go to 12d., but we take it that advance is in tho last degree unlikely. The chances in fa? vor of 6d. (equal, say, to 175rs. per candy here) as compared with 12d. are about twenty to one. . Gambling speculators may go in for such odds, but no man worthy the name ot merchant would dream of doing so, or of sharing the risk with any ono so blind or reckless. On noticing that the market had "hardened"'-an indication that some business ha;l been done-wo were curious to know what class of persons had been venturing their rupees in such a leaky craft. On turning to the same report wo "find it s ated that "consid? erable parcels continue to go forward on native account ;" and from other sources we learn that European merchants are, as yet, steadily refusing to meddle with cotton at the present dangerous prices. Tho little trade there is cannot well go on without some facilities being afforded by bankers; but we understand that ?6 to ?8 per bale is the utmost rate that is now being advanced on document bills-a rate which, so far as we can judge, is a very liberal one to sot against tho chances of the cotton market at the | possible time of realization, four months hence. " The banks having ceased from their race to see which of them could, m the shortest period, spread abroad their capital and deposits, aro now desirous of leaving themselves an ampio margin on docu? ment cotton .bills for the contingency of low prices. This being the attitude of the commission houses and the banlts? the native dealers in Bombay must be left to ship on their account, if they have confidence in the absiud prices they are now ask? ing. No one can object tb tliis, and evon if some of the up country dealers were to betake them? selves to exporting cotton on their own account it would probably be tho commencement of a far moro healthy state of things. Tue extravagant rices that havo been current in -Bombay have een duo, in great measure, to the reckless com? petition between commission houses themselves .ind the high scale of advance on dooument bins by some of the exchange banks, though this poli -cy has been backed up in ..many instances by se? riously mistaken advice from home. AH European houses and bankers are, however, now sn thor? oughly convinced of the serious risk involved in committing themselves to engagements based on the high prices ruling in Bomoay, that they are not likely to be enticed from their resolution by the few tempting telegranm which may come,, so long as there is any uncertainty respecting the American crop. Bombay commerce can never right itself until tho merchants here determinedly refuse to be influenced in any way by the imagina? tive views in which up country dealers may choose to indulge respecting the prospects of the cotton market. Nothing will bring tue dealers to com? mon sense so soon or so effectually as for the mer? chants to stand aside-as just for the present they are doing-and let the Bhattias and Burdas them? selves take the risks of the Liverpool market. Hitherto the chief profits of the recent : magnifi? cent cotton trade have gone to the dealers and the ryots, and it would only-be fair for those classes to have their share of loss. Although wo think that the prices just now ask? ed for Cotton on Bombay Green are purely spesu lative, and all but certain to "bring "grief to those who buy, we would not -by any means he under? stood to support the notion that the cotton trade -of Western India is hi itself unsound. It is mere? ly that the shares in its profit and loss have been' unequally distributed. If Bombay cotton fetches 6d. per pound in Liverpool, that price will leave a good margin of profit to the cultivator over a very large part of the presidency and central.provinces; but the ryot must be content to take such a price as will leave the necessary margin for the risks of exportation. No doubt the ryot himself would be content with a price equal to 120rs. to ISOrs. in Bombay; but it is the intermediate dealers who are not content with the reasonable profits of middle? men. These are the men who strive to get a larger share than any one else through whose hands the .eotton passes. It is thiscasa who, just nowwhen the season of business should open again, are rendering sound trade impossible. European merchants are very little nearer the cultivator now than when the American war began ; but, seeing that speculative profits have gone, they must contrive to open up more direct communication with the producer. The middlemen dealers have all the shrewdness and cunning which consorts with keen avarice, but none of the judgment by which good, business men' forestall the worst losses incident to a falling market. If they can be left to hold the present stock of cotton for two or three months longer, they will in all probability bo cured for a time ; but the merchants here, should in future take every likely means to enable them to dispense with these dealers, whose profession it is to squeeze the ryot and fleece the Bombay merchants. The circum? stances of the.cotton trade in Western India are. likely to be such as must call for the exercise of much more economy and care than ever has been needed before. We do not by any means share the opinion that the cotton trade between India and Europe must be an unprofitable one, because prices will be much lower than during the last three years. But the question now is between Bombay and the MofussU, and as to how tho legitimate profits shall be apportioned. It is possible that next year the ryota m many districts may find oil-seeds pay them better than cotton ; but there is already a great breadth sown this year, and before it is gathered or brought to market it would he an advantage for Bombay merchants to signify that they do not in? tend tc give a speculative price for it. By dins of improved communication, greater care in ' cultiva? tion, and increased means for pressing up-country, the production of cotton in Western India may yet be extended with advantage to every one concern? ed. We do not deem it needful to go into any elaborate argument to support the proposition, that cotton-ia-far more likely to go down than it is to remain at the present high prices that are asked in Bombay. Dr. Forbes' low estimate of. the Ameri? can crop is already designated on every hand; the Egytian crop is likely to bs larger than ever it was before, and the Brazilian and Turkey crops will also be considerable. The stock in Liverpool does . l. materially decrease ; Sura ts also form more than half its bulk, and nearly three hundred thousand bales more from Bombay ere yet on the sea. From these, and other obvious considerations it seems evident that the prices now asked in Bombay are far above what any prudent firm would commit it? self to, or countenance in any way. The advance in fair Dhollera reported in our telegram to-day has evidently been caused by the comparative low? ness of that particular stock in the market at the time ; the great fleet of Bombay ships that are searing Liverpool will soon alter that. ??.?BATH os* Auausrm DB ITUBBXDS.-Oft Tuesday, the Uth inst?, between the hours of six and seven in the evening. Augustin, eldest son of Augustin de Iturbide, Emperor of Mexico^ died at tho Clar? endon Hotel, New York. The father-of th? de? ceased was'the chief promoter of the revolution which overthrew the power of Spain in Mexico, and on May 18,1822, he was chosen Emperor of Mexico as Augustin L His reign, however, was terminated by abdication, March 20, 1823. A stipulation was made that the Emperor Iturbide should receive a pension of $25,000 per annum, provided he never again returned.to Mexico. Ia May, 1821, however, Iturbide left England, where he had resided, -and -arrived in Mexico in July. The Congress, immediately on his return, passed % vote of outlawry, and th? ex-Emperor was ar? rested on the 19th of July, 1824, and at 6 o'clock ix the evening was shot by the order of Congress. The pension was continued to his widow, who came to the United States with her children and settled in Philadelphia. The deceased had itu* returnee from Paris, and had been-in aery feeble health Soi some time previous to his death. His remain! were, on the 12th inst., sent to Philadelphia. COMMERCIAL.

The New York Herald, of Sunday, the 16th inst., states that the money market is growing easier, the general rate being six per cent, for call loans, although in some in? stances considerable amounts were offered at five. The disbursement ot internst on tho seven-thirty loan com? menced to-day, and tended to in cree so confidence in the future abundance of capital, which is strengthened by the steady return flow of currency from the interior. At the same ti ne the recent letter of the Secretary of the Treasury to the president of a national bank at Buffalo, in which he expresses a desire to return to specie pay? ments without any large curtailment of United States j notes, or doing anything to produce a financial collapse, exerts a reassuring influence, inasmuch as it indicates a j modification of his former views respecting contraction, and gives assurance that he will act in the f ature with I great caution and attempt no impracticable thing. It is very necessary lo the we .fare of the commercial and industrial interests of the country, that the financial j policy, of the Government should involve no disturbance of the currency, and that the duties of the Secretary of | the Treasury with respect to tho conversion of securities, the sale of gold, and other matters liable to affect the money market, should be made explicit, so that the public at large may know what to expect and that mone? tary perturbations may be guarded against. The bank statement for the week will doubtless be a highly favora? ble one, reflecting, as it must do, the drain of currency from the interior. It is net unreasonable to look for an increase in deposita and legal tender notes of several millions each, and a decrease of from two to three mil? lions rh loans, owing to. the .voluntary limitation of busi? ness. There is only a light supply of good commercial paper offering for discount, and the best grade is taken at 6a7 per cent. The gold market is steady. The opening price was 137 ?.followed by an advance to 137 ?-the closing price. Loans were generally made .by. paying 3a5 percent for carrying. The export of specie and bullion by this day's steamers aggregated $1,017,225. of which the Europe took $446,522, the City of Paris $332,095, and the America $300,000-making for the week 81,348,562. Tbe clear? ances at the Gold Exchange Bank yesterday amounted j to $40,379,000, and the currency balance to $1,726,100. The daily range of the market during the week is thus, j shown : . ' .
