Extracts from Smith, Edward? & Co.*s Monthly Cotton Circular. LIVERPOOL, April 30.-Oar cotton market has experienced several small fluctuations during the past month, and closes about }?<l higher than at its commencement. At the date or our last issue a dall feeling pre? vailed; middling uplands were worth lOJfd on the spot, and ?o^aio.vi to arrive; fair Dhollerah was quoted 9-.;d on the spot, and SJiaod to arrive, but a sudden rally occurred. The American re? ceipts broke on" sharply, and conveyed the false Impression (which they have often done already this year) that thc crop was nearly finished; at the same time highly favorable nows was received from Calcutta, which caused a heavy business to be done in Manchester, and spinners entered our market freely, supported by avery strong demand from speculators. For a fe v days a very sanguine tone prevailed here, and very large transactions took place in cotton to arrive from America and Bombay; middling uplands were pushed up to ll,\id, both on the spot and to arrive; and fair Dhollerah to 9>?d on the spot, and the same price ror April-May shipments of new crop. The feel? ing here was very general that 12d would be soon reached for middling uplands. But an unexpect? ed turn occurred in the market; the receipts again increased at the American ports, spinners withdrew from the market, and a dull tone en? sued. The Easter holidays put a stop to ..usin?es for three days, and when the market reopened a very quiet feeling prevailed; uplands to arrive were offered at lld, and Dhollerah at 9>? to Bjfd. Stronger accounts from Manchester produced a more active demand for some days, and prices of arrival cotton hardened J?d, but this last week a heavy feeling has again Bet in, caused by an ex? traordinary Inrrease of American receipts, which have run up to 60,000 bales, against 40,000 bales last week and 22.000 bales the corresponding week or last year. The effect or this news is in? creased by the very large import or 135,000 bales, which has raised the stock in port to 662,000 bales, against 351,000 bales last year. Prices have given way >?'d to arrive, and VI to >?d on the spot, and middling uplands to arrive are only worth io;; i lld on thc spot. Fair Dhollerah on thc spoils worth 9% to 9i?'d. and April-May shipment to ar? rive 9 5-16 to 9>id per lb. In our last Issue we estimated the consumption of the Kingdom to be 52,000 bales per week; since the Board of Trade returns were published Tor the first quarter or the year, showing thc delive? ries to the trade 25.000 bales greater than our brokers'circulars allow; and ir this be taken as correct, which we have no reason to doubt, then the average delivery from the ports tor consump? tion during that time wus 52.000 bales per week, aud as the trade were thought then to hold less stock thou on the 1st ol Janaary.lt rollowsihat the consumption was over 52,000 bales. We now incline to put lt ut 53,000 to 54.000 for the winde Kingdom, comprising about 30,000 bales of Ameri? can cotton. There is no doubt that spinners have this year taken largely of American cotton direct from the ship's side, ?nd probably some or this has escaped being included lu thc biokers' statistics, hence the increased delivery shown by the Board of Trade returns. Our maiket during thc past month has vibrated between two poles ol attraction, which have drawn it first upward? and then downwards in precisely the same manner as they have done since the beginning or thc year. These poles ol' attraction ure America and India, and just as thc enormous development of the crop In lite ronner has from time to time pulled the market down, so the miserable out turn or the latter has produced sharp upward reactions, and just about counter? balanced the other. Turning ilrst to America, we And Hie stream of receipts Hows steadily onward in nn extraordi? nary volume for this timi of the year: iib-esti? mates of the crop have been constant'? riMiip. und opinions that were thought vi?l<inur.y n month or two ago aro now accepted as fact*. We think there cun bi* Utile doubt now tina the commercial crop will reach three millions of bales, and will yield a surplus to Europe of about seveu hundred thousand bales over last crop, say 2.150.000 bales In all, against i,450.eoo bales last year, a most extraordinary Increase, being about 50 per cent. The Continent ls taking a much lar? ger proportion or Hus than was expected, ami it seems likely that the surplus win be divided thus, 450,000 to England, and ?50,000 to thc Continent. On this theory we have still to expect loo.ooo bales from America above what we got during the remainder of last season. AVlth those figures before us, the tiret impression ls one or astonish? ment that snob hlgn prices can be still maintain? ed, and that feeling has prevailed in New York all this season. But when we turn to India the deficiency or shipments is prodigious. Up to April 29 the ex? port from Bombay to Europe is 332,000 bales, against 638,000 bales loBt year; and If we make our calculation from September 1 to correspond with the American season, we And the figures are 438,000 bales, against ?KI,ooo bales previous ceasun. To this we may add a deficit or 60,000 bales now on shipboard at Bombay, and there comes into view a total deficiency of 282,000 fruin . Bombay, to which wc must add further a decrease of 53,ooo bales In thc export, from Calcutta and Madras to Europe from September l. making al? together 335,000 bales or deficiency. Kui this ls not all. The Brazil crop this year has been turn? ing out very poorly, and there is some decrease besides from miscellaneous quarters, so that the total Import of all kinds of cotton Into Liverpool from September l to date, other than American and East India, is 100,000 bales short of thc same time previous season. Hence there has come into View since September l last a surplus in receipts in In America ol fully.600,000 bules. Less deficit from India.S-35,000 LesB deficit from other sources.100,000 435,000 Leaving the moderate surplus or.. .165,000 bales. This explanation rev?ales what has become 0 the enormous American crop, and makes it easier to understand, what has puzzled many people, how the total visible snpply of cotton, taking everything into account all over the world, ls almost exactly the same as last year. Tho visible supply for Great Baltatu alone stands as follows: 1870. 1869. Stock In Liverpool.562,ooo 351,000 Stock in London.37.ono 77.000 Afloat D om America.163,000 iss.ooo Afloat from ludia to mail dotes. ..110,000 336,ouo Additional by telegraph from Bom? bay to April 29.111,000 104,000 Total.?i?.983,000 1,113,000 Showing the serious deficiency or 130,000 bales. There ls certainly a remarkable result to be arrived at with an American crop or 3,000,000, and it need not be wondered at that a specula? tive reeling is kept up which bursts out from time to time upon a Utile encouragement. It ls argued by many that we had a famine snpplv or cotton for the latter hair or last year, which forced middling Orleans up to l4d, and lt re? quired a great amount of "short time" to adjust consumption to supply and carrv us through the year, and that as the visible supplv for thin country is less than lost year a movement or a similar kind is to be expected this coming autumn. There nre, however, some material objections to this view : 1st. We have a rar larger stock or cotton In Liverpool, and will have all this summer, than we had last year, and the effect or this iii calming the market is much greater than that ol .111 equivalent deficiency or distant supply in thc way or stimulating it. 2d. nie Indian crop will come more rapidly by way or canal, and no doubt the shipments from Bombay from 1st of June lill the end of the year will materially exceed the same time last year. 3d. An additional supply of probably 100.000 bales will bo received from America, as already observed. 4th. A smaller export demand will certainly be experienced, probably 100,000 bales ?ess for thi.i year: and 6th. The expectation in the autumn of a very large American cop will probably overhang the market and keep down the spirit of speculation. We attach much Importance to this last point the planting lu America this year we believe to be considerably larger than last, a far larger amount or fertilizers are being used, and a large immigration-some reports say 100,000 able bodied negroes have moved rrom theuoriherly into the rich cotton States or the Southwest. This Implies a considerable amount or additional field labor, and Hie opinion is expressed in some quar? ters that a crop of 3}? millions may bc made next year, ir the season is fine. It is. however, hardly likely that such a fine season will occur n second time; but even granting this, the tone of thc American oplniou is likely to run lu the direction ola very large crop for next year, and the effect or this may be very important during thc au? tumn With regard to the Indian crop we have nothing 1 special to add to what we observed In our last | Issue. The accounts rrom Bombay could not well be worse; a sort or blight has apparently fallen on 1 all the dist rici s thus far except the Dhollerah one, and the crop there ls so exceedingly late that lt ls doubtful ir even one half or it can be got Into Bombay before the rains. As there is no commu? nication except by water with *he principal ?ils- j trlcts. the remainder will not reach Bombay till November and December, and hardly count In this year's supply. The same remark applies to the Dharwar crop, which is so late that very little of lt can reach Bombay before the monsoon: and altogether lt appears unlikely that the existing deficit In shipments from Bombay can be fully re? paired within the present year. From Calcutta and Madras the shipments to England commue very small. Most of the Bengal crop appears to be going to China, where lt is believed the native growth has failed. The very high prices at which cotton ls supported In Bomba;-say 305 rs. for Dhollerah, equal to 9%<i c and f via Cape, ls a strong argument In favor of a short supply, both present and prospective. We have hardly ever known anything so unaccountable as the whole development of indian cotton supply this year. Nashville Market. NASHVILLE, May 10.-COTTON.-The receipts of cotton for the week which closes to day foot np 1308 bales, against 1342 last week and 760 for the corresponding week last year. The shipments comprise 1056 bales, against 074 the previous week and 1522 the corresponding week last year. The sales embrace 1866 bales, against 046 last week and 1620 thc corresponding week last year. From our summary below, lt will be observed that the operations were liberal, and we may add that but for the light offerings the transactions would have been materially increased. As above notic? ed, the market this evening closed strong as fol? lows: Inferior 16al7c; ordinary 18al9c;good ordi? nary 20Xa2lc; low middling 2i >ic. For the corre? sponding week last year the market ruled steady throughout at 24,Jia25c for the best grades. COTTON STATEMENT. Stock on hand September l, 1869. None.

We quote as follows: Superflue $4 50: extra $5; family $6: Taney $6 75. CORN.-A perfect panic exists in regard to this article of brea istuffs, and during the week prices have advanced rapidly. To-day the market was excited at $i 27>ial 30 for depot delivery. The sudden advance ls evidently spasmodic, and a continuance of the present prices cannot remain long. Thc surplas of corn throughout the entire corn region ls below what it was at this period la-tyear, but the quantity yet upon the market Is very considerable. The demand, from the South, it is true, continues unabated; bnt there ls nothing which would Indicate famine In the land, panlcularly when every other article of bread stuffs Is much below the usual average. In St. Louis we notice that thc market has advanced to $125. and at New Orleans sales have been made at $130. In Atlanta on Mouday last thc market was excited and firm at $1 OOal 65 in car load lots at depot. With the present prices the New Orleans, market, owing to cheap facilities by water, will soon be flooded, and when the market is once overstocked there will be a decline, when the tide of shipments from Cairo up will be turned this wav, and consequently our dealers will be ena? bled by shortness of ronte to supply their former customers, and take in a part of the territory that at present receive supplies from New Or? leans. With the present coodltion of things, our dealers may be regarded in a fortunate and healthy condition, simply from the fact that they are restricted by scarcity, bot indications point to thc fact that somebody will be hnrt. The transactions to day amounted to 2009 bushels sacked and delivered in depot at $1 27??al 30 per bushel, sacked and delivered in depot. CORN MEAL -In sympathy with thc advance in corn, meal has steadily appreciated, with an ad? vance during the week of 10c per bushel. Wc note shipments South to-day uf 600 bushels at (125 per bushel. OATS.-Prices coniinne steady. Wc quote at 70 a75c per bushel sacked and delivered in depot. WHEAT.-The transactions of late have been limited. We quote buying price os follows : Med? iterranean 93c; red $105; amber and white $110 ai 16. Receipts by Railroad, May 13.
