'4 Fill DAY AITKIiXOOX. ( Tllli OEXIiUAL MARKET. The Augusta market generally lias in without excitement during the I ek. The miscellaneous grocery trade ?been as usual at this season with a; r demand at unchinged quotations, j,? n isions have continued firm at full } ces and an excellent demand. As J J led in our resume below a specula-! c demanil lias prevailed to-day for j stern Hour, caused by the expecta- ? 11 of an advance in the markets at ,v West. Whether this expectation . II be realized remains to lie such. As as Augusta is concerned business'.4 icrally will be quiet until the Fall II lis. With the commencement of a! iv conunereial year and heavy receipts; I col toll of till' crop DOW 1)1*1 HIT 11 III II1i increase even in liie heavy business j 1 ty be expected. For the present our ichants are satisfied with the citsto- { iry regular trade, city and country, j inters arc bu.-ily encased in putting! cotton seed, and their visits to the j y arc few and far between. The an- I al convention of the stockholders of i . (leorjjia Railroad will probably at- j' ct a larjie number, however. t I'liere is no doubt but Dial Ihesifiia- j n of trade in this market is cncourair- .? While it is evident that no ex- j* enicnt or unusual activity prevails, i ?re is a stood healthy demand for all,; i standard commercial basis, liusi-jt ss is done more on .1 cash basis man t lt before. Country merchants find it j' caper to pnrcliasc their goods in An-U sta tlum to order their goods in Xow n trie or Philadelphia, and a large 1 ? tolesalo traffic lias in consequence 11 l'Ii gradually springing up during the '' -t. five or six years. This trade is! I tainly 011 the increase. There arc|i cady several wholesale houses in thej y, doing nothing whatever in a retail I ,y. Kach of these does a yearly hu- i i*e?.s amounting perhaps to hundreds [. thousands of dollars. One at least j Is more than a half million of goods)! nually.

This is most: plainly a gratifying slate of affairs! d presages well for the future welfare our irrowing city. Augusta is on a lid basis and while it has none of that j Id hurly hurley that some otherj ices pride themselves on, it has itsji il share of trade and possesses a well-; rned reputation for commercial stead- < itness. Tin: fin'axcial situation-. fhc demand for money during the' esent commercial week has been j ncli greater than for the week previ-j s. One of our city bonks reports that! has had an active demand for all theji lids il could supply, on the best of per at the rate of 1J per cent. It has! tdo no loans under tliis lijjurc, either i imirr /1r c11111*t There is no "'"n * ' - nbt, however, i>ut that money can be! tuitied on good collateral at ten peri ut. But there is very little done in is way. Parties who are fortunate! oiigli to own j;ood securities as a gen-' d rule don't care to borrow money' d pay a larger rate of interest than; ey are receiving on such securities.' ill there is a little borrowing done on (lateral once in a while by parties who . in immediate want of money and n't care to sacrifice stocks or bonds.? me advances are made to planters,; t as a general tiling they are few and between, and there are more who; lit get them than th<v-e that do. Past ! perienec lias made the commercial1 inninnity lather caution- in regard tot i k i s i rr these advances, joined as it is' ill the fact of the repeal of the lien; .v. -I'crhaps. however, it will he bet: for the planters in the end.

CORN, OATS AND WHEAT. The demand for corn is firm at unchanged quotations. Wheat lias advanced since our last review and is now rj noted at Jl 70 to 1 75 for choice white with none offering. We have not heard, of any sales during the week, and the stocli is very I it'll t. Choice white is held at ?1 15 in St. Louis, and this with freight added leaves hut little if any margin when the grain reaches Augusta, al the outside figures given above. Stil! it is thought by prominent dealers that there wili scarccly be any farther advance, at least for some time to come. The April report of the Department of Agriculture furnishes the following: The area in Winter wheat appears to have been increased last Fall about!' per rent. A small portion of this area, partially or wholly destroyed by the severity of Winter, will be replaced by other crops ; how much, will depend upon the vicissitudes of April weather and the j pressure of Spring work. The Middle States made a very small increase? ! per cent, in Pennsylvania, 1 in New York, with a decreasoof 1 per cent, in Delaware; an aggregate increase of about 1 lint acres. The Southern States, from Maryland to Tennessee, inclusive,) have made a large increase, adding half-j million acres to an area of ;s,.j0D,nu0. It J is largest in Mississippi ; 70 per cent, in; the counties reported, -1^ per cent, in) ?.r 'i'l.v'.c mi iii A rkmis.'is nnd Tcn-I ncsscc, and li'i in (Jeorgia. Ohio counties return no increase in acreage, Michigan but 1 percent., Indiana a decrease of J per cent., atnl Illinois an advance of 1" per cent. Missouri has enlarged her area in nearly the same proportion, and Kansas .'?u per cent. in the countiesl reporting. The aggregate increase in acreage planted, considerably exceeds! 1,00(J,(m)o acres, and with that of t'alifor-J nia will e?|iial 1 (.1!IO,OUO acres. The condition of the crop, as far as can be judged hy its appearance in April in the more Northern Latitudes before the ground is bare ami free from frost, is helow an average, and far below (lie flatus of last spring. I n the South generally the prospects are quite fluttering, and the crop secure against all probable contingencies, excepting rust. In California a large breadth has been seeded. Prompt germination and vgorous growth have followed the Winter rains. The early sown area Is probably secure, j but drying winds and the absence of the later rains excite apprehensions of f'uiIur? of late hlaiitinus. The States iii the valleys of the Ohio unci Missouri) report inferior condition of wheat, as a result of Winter killing.?Those sections iu which drouth prevented early feeding and sufficient root developement before Winter set in luivesuirercd most. The protection offered by snow has been exceedingly valuable in all the area North of the thirty-ninth parallel of latitude, the injuries sustained resulting mainly from thawing and subsequent freezing in March. In the Middle States this protection has been more uniform than in the West. The more exposed tields present a brown and lifeless appearance, hut the roots nre found to be sound, except in patches covered long with iee.
