AUGUSTA. March 9:

| Western did not change the principal lea
lures of our market Tor our great staple
they have rendered i, rather more uncrr-
tain aud inacfivc, as holders are not dis
posed to submit to the rates offered by
purchasers, who appear still very reluc-
ian, TO operate wiihnu, n material reduc-
,ion in prices. The cry is again, lc, Us
wait for later adyices, which are now daily
expected by Sienmer Columbia. which
was to hayc left Liverpool on the 4th OF
this month. We also say with holders
aud buyers, let US wait for later udvices ;

they would oow sell NJ current rates. and
huye rs would buy If they did not expect a
further decline in the Liverpool and other
EurnneIn markets. Our opinion is. that

Of those vents may occur, which is The
likelihood of IN Increased consumption OF
cotton goods, owing TO The reduced prices

have their eEec, during the sumner. -bu'

Of some important changes 10 the Euro

We have aludc6 10 al inc.eaicd con-

than on the continent. rs the general mas
of The population will remain poor. anu
even become poorer. while The wealthy.
which forms but q small class Of the ponu

in the consumption OF c0tlnn goods must
be looked Tor on the continent "G Europe
in n greater ratio than in The British Isle,
With us here il matters not where II ak

will inevitably lead To n complete revolt

the present time 10 this country: a revoin,
ton which will render that trade more sale
TO the operators and less hazardous.
With regard 10 The actual condition "I
our market, we have but liliie 10 say
which is thai we have TO report n" opera
lion, Of any consequence. The receipt.
continue light. and the demand moderate
for shipment. Spectators only would
buy IL good bargains could be obtained
but holders seemed not disposed TO crafty
spectators. Iii probable that in our mex
report we shall be able 10 give n more dc,
finite statement Of tho condition OF oul
market.
We omit our exchange table. as we
have no alteration 10 notice since las
week. The fact is that our table is he,
coming less importan, every day, since our
currency cannnt be in a better condition
and exchange on every other section Of Tho
country as low as i, possibly cGn be-
Coastituiionalist.
