Item description from seller

Printed circular letter on blue paper, 11 ¼ x 9 ¼, text entirely in French. A periodic report from the company offering its assessment of the cotton market, with statistics showing number of bales shipped from various ports (New Orleans, Mobile, Atlantic States, Texas, and Florida) and with comparisons between 1856-57 and 1857-58 (through September of each year); this report notes improvements in the financial situation from its previous report (translation: "as money is more abundant, our banks have been able to expand their operations and thus facilitate cotton transactions") despite "frequent and considerable fluctuations in prices during the month, the market having been depressed by notices from Europe." The only reference we have found for J. E. DuMont & Co. is an 1859 partnership dissolution suit filed in Mobile's Chancery Court that describes the company as a "general and commission-merchant in Mobile"; the case eventually found its way to the Alabama Supreme Court. Addressed verso of integral leaf to Messrs. J. & C. Heydecker in New York, old fold lines, else very good.
