RICHMOND MARKETS. OCT. 20.
There is very little doing in our market. The an
nusl Far produces some temporary animation, but
mostly in the retail way. The money market 10
tight and tho high rates Of exchange on the North
cru cities causes great embarrassment. Our inef-
chants, Notwithstanding the hardship Of this state
Of things have paid up with wonderful punctualty-
many of their payments being saddled with the
ruinous premium of 10 to IL per cent, which they
have TO lose Some of the New York merchants
have acted very literally, dividing equally with
their debtors here the heavy loss How long this
state of things will last cannot undertake to pre-
dict though there is reason to hope that n better
time will come before or by the middle of January
The farmers are evidently holding their wheat as
it arrives very slowly. The prices here are very
firmly maintained notwithstanding the adverse re-
ports from England. Flour is dull and there seems
to be little doing in any branch of trade Tobacco is
very dull and the receipts are very limited.
