Augusta, Ga, Market.

AUGUSTA, APrll IL
COTTON.-Some portions of the past
week the market exhibited inactivity, on
the part of buyers, but factors have main
tanned firm and advancing prices, and
the market closes at higher rates than
have been obtained this season. The re-
ccipts by wagons, canal and railroad, are
daily falling off, and the offering stocks
are light.
We quote fair III; middling fair l to
liz; good middlng 1oa; middling to
strict middling TOTO 100; and the inferior
or lower grades from s.! to 81 cents.
GROCERIES.-There has been but
little doing in the wholesale way, ex'
cept attending to orders from the coun'
try. The stocks Of our merchants are
large, and prices are generally about the
same as our reports have exhibited for the
past month. There has been a decline
in Cuba Molasscs, and it is now offered,
at the wharf, at 35 cents. and is selling
in store from 81 to 40 cents. New Or
leans is ranging from As to so cents
Adamantine Candles are some lower, and
command 25 to 81 cents. Good Cheese
from 10 to Is cents. Goshen Butter 30
to 80 cents.
BACON-There appears to be such
confidence in the Bacon trade, that quite
speculative demand has been excited
Within the past few days large quaint
ties of clear Sides have changed hands at
ten cents, and we hear ofan engagement
Of so 900 lbs, to be delivered at any time
within three months, at 10 cents. Sew
eral of our extensive dealers have gone
TO the West to purchase Bacon, but we
have no idea they intend all their pur.
chases for this market. Prices may fluc.
tuate this Summer and fall, but there does
not appear to be very substantial reasons
for any material advance or decline from
the present prices. The supply will ev'
identity be equal to the demand. The
ruling rates for hog round, in this mark
ct, at the present time, are % and IL
cents.
FLOUR.-Vcry little enquiry for this
article beyond the immediate wants o
home consumption. There is good sup
ply.
CORN.--There is no change to report
Small lots sell for 60 cents, and retailing
at IS cents.

Mr.. EDlroR:-The writer, with 9TH
ers, this morning visited Carrick Acad-
envy to hear the pupils read essays,
declaim, &C., and was much pleased
with the school. There seems to be
an interest among the pupils that has

commendable rivalry among the boys
seems to have quickened their foot
steps as they tread the pathway to in
tellectual manhood
Mr.. Griffith is untiring in his efforts,

patrons to make the school an orna-
ment to the town. We hope to see
the patrons, generally, at his month
