?HE DAILY NEWS. JThc Lead-Melting. BT ROBERT BUCHANAN. 'Twas clear, cold, starry silver night, And the old year was a-dying; Three pretty girls with melted lead Sat gaily fortune-trying. They dropped the lead in water clear, With blushing palpitations. And, as it hissed, with fearful haarte They sought its revelations.. In ihe deep night, while all around The snow is whitely falling. Each pretty girl looks down to find Her luturc husband's calling. The eldest sees a castle bright. Girt round by shrub]and shady; And. blushing bricht, she feels in thought A la Jy rich already. The second sees a silver ship, And bright and elad her face is; 0, she will have a skipper bold. Grown rich in foreign places ! The youngest sees a glittering crown, And starts in consternation; For Mary is too meek to dream Of reaching regal station. And time went by. One maiden got Her landsman, one her sailor The lackey of a country count, The skipper of a whaler 1 And Mary has her crown, although She unto few can show it Her crown is true love, fancy-wrought, Her husband-a poor poet!

[FOR THE WEEK ENDINO JANUARY 22, 1869.] NEW YO BK, January 23.-IHE MARKET -III our last report the m rket closed firm at 2D%c lor mid? dling uplands. Ou Saturday, the receipts pro ring larger than was expected, und tho foreign advices . quiet, there wai m re desire to s .di and prices gave way %c. At tbe close there was rumors of au ad? vance in Literpool which jtroegthened buyers. Eales 6771 bales at 29%c. Monday the market was dull and some lots were pressed by specu alors. Sales 2^16 ba.es. lue.-tay the dullness continued and exporters did nothing. Spinners bought only as they were compelled to, and prices were %clo*er. Eales 1298 bales at 29c Weane sd ay the market started up on favorable accounts from Europe, and later ba the aay ah tne Southern markets were re? ported advancing, ihe dem.nd was good, except ' trom exporters, and pnces improved %c. Sales U354 bales at 29%c. Thursday transit lots wei e in good ' demand at hardening prices, but cotton on the spot was neglected. Holders were very strong and asked %c aa vance, which was not paid, bales 5104 bales ! at 29%c Yesterday, notwithstanding favorable news irom Europe, our market was dull, and there was some pressing of speculative lots for immediate delivery, sn.es 2712 bales at 29%c. During the week our market and that of Liverpool show very dale change. There wae a depression ia both murkete early in ihe woek, which waa rei ovcred at the. close. Thc i o wa- an unsettled feeling here yeBterday, and fears of large receip.s next week caus? ed buyers to hold off. We stilt think that tha ro ceiptb in February this year > RI not bc as !ai ge as those of lbed. It is very well kuowu at the sc nth that, while moe era.e receipts can ncma.kctcd at advancing prices, larne re etpts would causo a de? cline Weheurtuat considc.utile cotton no.v in me Southern por.s is held at Ligii imus ou planters' ac? count. There hav been received at thu ports si nco September 1, 1,261,921 bale6. of which exporter* have token i62,6?6 bules; spinners 3'.!?,777; and the stocks have iucreu-cd 281,518 boles. Excess over last year, now 91,167 bales. Wc Uku the lonowin^ fems from the annuel crcu lars put'I siieu in Liverpool : .'Estimated mu. k nj thu hands of spinners f0,0 O balee. Ike capacity ot the spindles in Great Uritaiu, equal to 60,000 bales a week consnimp.iun, and they have been run in 186S at the rate ol Ol.u'Ju bales a week. Present consumption about 62.000 bales weekly, lt wan tboi ght that the product of 18 OOO bales a week could ah t e sold at a profit, but that, owing to jealousy, &c, it wm difficult to effect a re- | du cuon. The BU pp hi? for 1869 were estimated as follows: from india and Airerica, about the same as in 1868. An increase Irom Brazil a d tcypt was ex? pected, equal in weight to 1-O.tOO bales of American. The deliveries ft? 1868 were 95,120 bales greater than the supply, so that the stock was reduct Irom 417,46c bal< s on first January, to 352,340 bales on thirty-first December." The estimate of supply from America was based on a crop of 2 GOu.OCU bales. Wo do no: believe that the crop ?ill exceed 3,600,0C0 bales, of which our spinners will take 2.C0u,aO balts, thc continent about 60J.000 bales, which wou d leave for Great Britain l.tOo.OOO balee. We notice that the exports cf cot'on from the United States t* Liverpool lust je-r, for the ten weeks commencing January 24. were as follows: 4.1,933, 62,111, 44,24?, 48,674, 48,078, 76,594, 43,488, 66,967,16.026, 33,921; total, 600,936 bales, or an aver? age of 50,093 bales weaily. Caa the same amount be shipped this y?r, even if Liverpool prices should be materially ai vaned ? We think not. The ex gortsthus far this season show a deficit of 43,000 ales to Liverpool, and we expect to see a deficit of at least 200,000 bales b? the end o' March. This would allow of shipment} of 35,000 bales a week, for the next ten weeks. Sales lor future delivery have been as follows: February, 200 low middling at 28c; 1400 do at 28)ic.

The larg? proportion of the wagon cotton has beon purchased by street buyers. The warehouse sales have been unusually small. Shippers have done nothing, as the ruiing rates are considerably above the limits of orders. Advances in price aro expected. Bow long first, or if it comes at all, is nt best problematical. Owners will hold as long as possible, and planters arc in good condition todo so. Thur far they have been obtaining ad? vances as they needed money, freedmen are behav? ing well, and farmers, to some degree, have com? menced operations. Ii is esimated that ia Colum? bus about 6000 bales are held by local speculators; the -""t. a portion of which has been heavily ad? vanced oi. by planters.
