SPIRITS.-Wc continue to quote N f.. Rum 80

cepted. Whiskcy is less firm having sold at 273@
2SA cts in hhds and hrls-the closing rates yester-
day 264@27.
SUBMISSIVE market remains much pre-
viously reported probably not buoyant, but fair
business has been doing although the demand is less
brisk. BY auction yesterday 70 hhds. New Orleans
sold at 495d s5.15ge 100 lbs, mos.
TOBACCO.-Thc market continues quite brisk
for all good common to fine descriptions, and full prices
readily paid in some instances there is an i'm
provement. The prices for suitable Maryland have
ranged from 275 to $3.50 for common; $50 to $3.50
for middling; to ST. 80 for ordinary fine, and to
SIG U 100 lbs. for good fine to fancy Bay Ohio sells
fast sampled, and there is demand for nearly
all grades-bcgnning at $3.50 for common and eX-
tending to $50 for fine Colory; the finer sorts having
advanced fully 81 " 100 lbs. within the last two
months. These improvements are i'll part to be as
crbed to the great prospects of short crops through
out the Tobacco growing sections of our country,
Cuba and the other West India Islands, as well as
TO the demand that must follow in Europe where
the stocks are already much reduced. The nspec-
tons for the week comprise l047 hhds. Maryland

From Sept. 1, 1S4S, to .fug. 81, 1S49.
COTTON.-The season opened under great de-
preston, from want of competition in the demand,
and from an unusual degree of uncertainty in respect
to the supply, the extreme estimates of the crop va
rying than 100000 bales. The unsettled state
of Europe also continued to exercise unfavorable
influence, as it curtaed the operations of the Brit
sh manufacturers and caused prices to rule low and
the stocks to accumulate, in the great markets of
England
Among the peculiarities that have marked the
course of business during the past season we may
mention the fact that the purchases, particularly
those of Great Britain, have been speculative to
greater extent than usual most of the orders with
fired limits, though gradually advanced from time
to time, generally below the range of our own
market, and thus the purchases for England were
mostly made by speculative shippers, or by those
who from the tenor of their orders, at liberty
to exercise discretion in respect to prices. The
quality of the Louisiana and Mississippi crops was
much below the usual average, principally from the
admixture of leay PARTICLES and thus the proportion
of the receipts from those sections ranging above
Good Middling has been unusually small, and for
really Fine Cottons they could only be met with in
occasional very limited quantities. The bulk of the
demand, however, has fallen upon the Middling de-
scrptons, and in the early part of the season, when
the best Cottons received, and when they
usually most enqured for the part of buyers for
the continent of Europe and Northern ports the
better grades were comparatively neglected, and the

MOLASSES.-The product of Molasses has been
unusually large this season, in proportion to the
quantity of Sugar made, the estimated average per
hogshead of Sugar being fully sixty-five gallons,
which would give total OF Il, 100000 gallons,
much the largest quantity produced in LOUISE
ana. Notwithstanding this unusually abundant
supply the average prices of the previous year have
been about maintaned though at periods there have
been sales both higher and lower, and, indeed the
rates have exhibited remarkably wide range, owing
to a great diversity of quality.
OF the Ia, 100000 gallons estimated to be the pro-
duct of the past year, there have been shipped the
Atlantic ports about 3, 100000 gallons, which would
leave 10, 100000 gallons for the consumption of the
West and South.
TOBACCO.-Up to the 10Th May the total re-
cepts 81 Gao hogsheads, against 36495 hogs
heads during the period the year previous;
being deficiency of 1885 hogsheads. From that
date until the Dist of July, period of little
than two months, the arrivals embraced 25,064
hogsheads. This rapid increase of supply (Which
brought up the total receipts to within 5000 hogs
heads of the corresponding period of the previous
year0 had tendency to cause a temporary slacken-
ing of the demand, buyers being disposed to
what effect the accumulation of stock would have
upon prices. For short time they had rather the
advantage but not to sufficient extent to
to make any alteration in quotations, and the
demand regained its former activity. The sales
for three weeks ending August 4th exceeded 5000
hogsheads, against receipts in the time of 5432
hogsheads. Since that date the enquiry has con-
tinued good, and sellers have been able to realize
very full rates.
The crop, although by no means equal in quality
to that of the preceding year, was nevertheless
toerably fair one in that regard and certainly better
than we had reason to expect from the uniavorable
season and the character of the early receipts The
total receipts at this port since LIST September last
are 81, 335 hhds, and the best information have
been able to obtain leads us to believe that the
quantity remaining in the country is smaller than

will be free from all contagious epidemic diseases
Strangers are arriving very fast now; every boat
brings Jorge number, and the proprietors of the

engage rooms. They are coming much earlier
than usual, and we have the promise of brilliant

Miraculous ESCAPE FROM DEATH On the night
OF Sunday, the 10Th ult, Captain John Hartgrayes,
OF this county, was returning home from visit in
the neIghborhood, riding mule, during a severe
thunder storm, and when 1t was very dark. When
near the Beaver Pond hills, near Lees creek, his
mule wandered from the road He perceived that
his mule was descending u steep descent, and he
attempted to throw himself off, upon the upper slde
but before he alighted, he discovered that 1t was
over precipice, and chung to the horn of the
saddle, and thus pulled the mule over into a chasm
some seven eight feet deep, and two three feet
wide. He fell on his back and the mule upon hun.
mule by rock which projected from the bottom
but still the mule covered him enough to keep him
down and render his situation painful He hallOoed
and made efforts to be heard for some time; but
desparlng of relief from any other quarter, he took
his knife and cut the mule till died, He then cut
1t into several pieces, but not enough to extrlcae
himself occasionally hallosing whenever the vio-
lence of the wind abated. Finally, after being in
that situation over an hour, almost suflocated by
the dead body of the mule the blood and water
which had washed into the chasm, he was heard
by MIR. Swearingen, eighbor, who with difficulty,
on account OF the darkness, found him, but was
compelled TO return and get an axe, with which he
cut up the mule, and eXtricated Capt. Hartgraves,
but the latter was in such an exhausted condition
that he could not get him out. He then returned
and remained with him until morning, the dark
ness and storm precludng the possibility of finding
any of the neghbors' houses, the nearest being
more than a mile off. Captain H. was taken home
the. next morning by the neighbors, in very
bruised and exhausted condition. He Is fast re-
covering from both.-Pan Buren, (Ark) IatclH-
