friday afternoon.
the general market.
Since our last weekly report th<>Au- I
ista market in nearly every branch of 1
isiness has been quiet and uuinterest- ]
g with few changes. The country <
ide, just as this season, is small, as I
anters are busily engaged, whenever i
ey can get a few days of sunshine, in '
owing up land and putting in the i
ops. "Fortunately a large proportion ;
the corn in this section was planted i
fore the present wet spell, ami far- f
ers can devote their attention almost 1
icliujively to cotton. But the crops i
nerally are late, very Jate^-and I lie <
vere cold and frosts of last week did <
it improve the prospect Our waterelon
crop, a source of considerable I
venue in this immediate vicinity, in i
ccly to suffer permanent injury ".Yum ]
e continued cold and wet weather. i
As far as our local market is concern- '
. we have very little of interest to :
>te as occurring dnring th'p curreut 1
mmercial week. The genera).grocery i
urket, including canned goods,-Jjqtier, <
gar, coll'ee, &c? is absolutely without I
change. We publish verbatim bur <
st week's figures in regard to all artiL's
in that line. Augusta in the main i
a Conservative city, hence "corners" I
omv nnmnmrlil.ios used ill a business 1
ty in this pant of the country are al- :
ost unknown. It is true the market
to one or two staple articles becomes '
cited and feverish at intervals, but
is excitement soon subsides and the i
arket resumes its wonted suite of
liet. !
TJIK FINANCIAL SITUATION.
The condition of our financial and
ick and bond market is particularly
ichatured. Money is plentiful, as far <
the banks are concerned :it any rate, i
idividuals as a rule arc not overbur- ;
ned. Parties desiring to borrow will '
id no difficulty in obtaining the cash i
r any length of time?from thirty <
ys to twelve months, and in any 1
nount up to twenty thousand dollars .<
comparatively easy rates of interest
y from ten to twelve per cent, per an- <
im, provided they have approved colteral.
Loans have been few, however,
nng to the fact that parties who are
ile to put up the requuisite securities j
m't want to borrow any money, and
ose who havu't the collaterals can't
t it. Undoubtedly good commercial
per will secure the desired loan, but
ere is little doing in this way, and we
ive heard of only a few transactions. '
lere is beyond doubt a good supply of
ady cash in the banks and the officers

COTTl S.
The Augusta cotton market has been
liet and dull throughout the week
ith small receipts and sales. It is evint
that estimates in regard lo receipts
Augusta for the cotton year ending
e 1st of September, were rather o%-er
an under what the reality will be.?
le total receipts will not certainly be
r over 175,000 bales, probably several
ousand less. The protracted wet and
Id weather is discouraging the plants,
and has already thrown them back
ore than two weeks. If the cold and
L>t weather continues much longer the
[ect will, ill an prouHuuuj, uu au m
e market, and an advance in prices
ay be expected. But planters look for
turn soon, and with warm bright
cather much can be done to make up
r lost time.
In cotton circles the usual Spring
illness prevails and drays, which are
;pt so busy during the* Winter, have
sry little employment. Receipts and
les are gradually dwindling down and
impactions are few and far between.
Friday, 2.'J.?The market is dull and
isy. Good ordinary, 14}; low iniding,

During tlie week, all grades of bacon,
ry salt and smoked, have been lirm
iili a steady demand at daily quota
ons. The market lias advanced inrceuarters
of a cent, from our last week,*
quotations, and is now still" with an
pward tendency oti the basis of 1-IJ to
1.1 for clear ribbed bacon sides, with a
,rong leaning to the outside figure. In
ict, only very large lots could be bought
>-day at the inside quotation. As the
ndency is still upward, it is probable!
efore another week rolls around an aditional
half cent will be put on price
>r all grades. The stock both at the
Vest and in this market is light. Parcularly
is this the case in regard to
moked meats. In Augusta only a very
>w dealers have any of the latter, and
old what they do have at outside quou
fons. The demand is strictly regular,
liough good.

figures. As stated in our daily report q
af yesterday, u sale of five thousand S
bushels choice white was made Thursday
at $1.63 per bushel. A negotiation ,
was pending this moraine for. ten tliou- 1(
sand busbeLs at Si .65 with every prospect
of a trade. A prominent firm received
telegram from Loalsville, Ky., j,
tills morning, instructing rhem to sell
five carloads of ehoice white to arrive
il $1.73. A sale however; could not be
[ fleeted at these figures. Prominent ?
Jtalers are not of the.' opinion that
wheat will command two-dollars per 0
bushel in a short timeV^jfehe market $
certainly has a tendency that way at *
present. The injury to the Western jj
ind Eastern wheat crops by the freezing
weather was, perhaps, greater than was
it first anticipated, and will continue to
have its effect in causing rtn advance*;!) ^

Lhe majority of the holders will sell at
inr'quoiation, $10-5. ?
Corn holds its own with a good de- ?
mand at quotations. While there seems
to be no prospect uf an immediate ad- ^
ranee, in prices the market is stiff, and
sales have been effected at full rates. ?

The advance in wheat must have an ?
?fleet, as a matter of course, on the Hour 1
market. As yet, howevsr, we quote all .
grades the same as in our last review.?
The market is very strong at these fig- .,
lire*, with an excellent demand both for t
city mills and Western. One hundred ^
barrels of the latter were sold Wednesday
at full, p; ices, ami the opinion that
there will be a considerable advance in i
a few days. The mills in the city are ,
busy and find a ready sale for all their
products. r

XKW YORK DRY GOODS MARKKT. J
(
[From the N. Y. Daily Bulletin.] j
The market for cotton goods lacked j
animation, alike in the package and f
piece department, and the sales of the t
week were chiefly restricted to such
small parcels as were found necsssary for
the pursuance of current trade. The
Western trade from the larger interior
cities were the most liberal package
buyers, and their selections of heavy
standard and fine brown sheetings, cheviots,
light cottonades, satteens, denims,
&c., readied a considerable aggregate
amount. Bleached shirtings ruled
very quiet, and there was only a limited
inquiry for rolled jaconets or flat fold
cambrics. Prices of the best standard
makes of brown, bleached and colored
cottons were steadily maintained, in
consequence of the curtailed prodtictionsat
Lowell and other Eastern manufacturing
centres, caused by strikes
among the mill operatives, but outside
brands of goods which have moved
slowly of late had a weakening tendency,
and prices ruled in buyers' favor,
although figures were nominally un-l
changed. Low grades bleached cottons,
and outside makes of cottonades and
cheviots became weak, and holders
would have been disposed to grant con
cessions if buyers could have been
found, but the more popular goods of
this class are firmly bald by the agents
