AUGUSTA, Angus, ii.
Nothing deserving particular notice has oc
Cured in our market since my las. report; the
demand for Cotton having gradually subsidized.
aud the aspect Of bnaincss, in general, having
exhibited rather aquiet appearance. The ar
rival Of the Acadia, at Boston, with later intel
llscncc from for,SSp markets, has had no per.
ccp,ible effect ut,on the Cotton market, as the
accounts were moi Of nature calculated to pro-
duce any Improvement.
The prevalence Of unusual bad weather for
the last few days, has no donb, contributed in
great measure 10 the falling off in business Pri.
ccs have, however, undergone no alteration.
Holders have assumed firm attitude. knowing
that the stock Of Cotton now on hand is light,
aud feeling assured that there mus, be steady
demand until the arrival Of the next or present
crop.
Upon the whole, j, is generally admitted that
there will be no material fuct,Iation in prices,
and bu, little improvement, is spected, unit, at
ter the opening Of the fall trade.
The demand for Flour continues steady. and
holders nre firm at the previous quotations. We
note no change in prices.
The recent arrivals OF Corn have been sulli-
Glen, for the demand. and capy the lns, quo

cents.
For Rice there has been steady andincreas-
ed demand, and we notice some few sales rs
high as a cents. La,e adyices from Havana
note scarcity in'that market, and further
advance in price.
Our Grocery market has this week exhibited
no new feature, aud operations continue 10 be
quite limited. We have no perceptible change
TO make in prices, Late adyices from New

which if continued. viii eventually have ten.
Gcncy TO put urSba market here. This ad-
vance may pertaps be attributed TO the an,ici-
-prsru pussusc OF Tie Revenue "pn'- uv---vv'e'v
Congress. Our stock Of Groceries is daily in
creasing, and we have no hesitation in saying,
i, is already much better then usual o. this sea-
SON of the year. Country merchants and plan.
,ers desirous Ct: visiting our market, will ind
good supplies Of all leading articles, and the
daily arrivals of articles of less moment, win
soon make our stock complete.
Late arrivals of Baggins and Ropebaye made
our stock good, bu, the demand yet continues
very limited. Many attribute the small demand
to the fact, TINT the planters are yet in posses
sion of partial supply oflas, years purchases,
while others under The impression, ,ha, the
present high prices are inducing them 10 hold
of in the hope tha, they may decline as the
stock increases. am Of the opinion, howcv.

Tor their Bagging and Rope.
We have no change 10 rolc III the prics Of
Bacon The arrivals during the ,..-.i week
have been small, and sales are easily effected
AT cls.. cash. Should nothing Interfere with
J the regular course OF our market, 4 gradual bu,

Our riry continues very healthy. For the las,
few days it has rained almos, necessarily, aud
