and Commercial Summary
for the past Week.

In the money as well as other markets,
business continues to be carried on between
hope and iear-hope that the political
troubles will be settled without leading to
civil war, which in financial and CONNER
ciaI view of the present state of affairs, is
really the only thing dreaded, and indeed
the only thing to be feared.
The market continues, on the whole, easy
for acceptable paper, that is paper bearing
the names of parties above suspicion, at 10
MI2; stringent for second class; and there
is really no market for lower grade than
this Want of Confidence in the capacity
of houses having large outstanding indebt-
edness, exists very generally, particularly
in cases where they do chiefly or wholly
Southern trade, because it is believed that,
no matter how the political troubles may
be settled, the credit Of those states which
have seeded will not recover the injury it
has received for years to come, and their re-
sources will be greatly crippled.
The exchange market as regards checks
on Eastern cities, has ruled very firm du-
ring the week, the demand being fully up
to the supply, and prices are shade frmer,
and as regards Baltimore, higher. Very
few time bills offering on any point. East
ern are wauted at 9@10. Sight exchange
on New Orleans, is lower; there is very lit
tie demand for it, and New York exchange
having advanced there to par, induced the
decline. We quote.

This is a large increase, and the exports
from tie Ist of January to this date show a
corresponding increase over the two preced-
ing seasons. There is an increase in the
sugar crop of Louisiana this season as
compared with last, equal to $500 hhds
sugar, and $4,000 brls molasses.
Sugar has ruled firm during the week at
full prices, for good fair to choice, but the
lower grades have been bought in some
cases upon easier terms; fully fair to choice
advanced &c in New Orleans during the
week. Moasses sold to the extent of 1000
brls at 3l@32c, chiefly the latter rate. 1t
declined 1c per gallon in New Orleans since
our last. The market closes quiet but
firm Coffee has ruled steady at full prices;
demand from the country is good.
Ihe receipts OF apples have been very
large and the market dull and prices 25c
per br1 lower. The receipts of dried fruit
have been large also, and the market for
them very dull, the demand being quite lin
tied, and chiefly of retail character
Oranges and lemons are in large supply,
and prices continue to rule low Raisins
are selling at unusually low rates Nearly
5000 brls. green apples were received the
past week, and less than 1000 brls ex-
ported.

the export demand is good.
The demand for the various articles in the
provision line has been quite moderate dur
I ing the week, and the market ruled dull
and heavy, and prices gradually declined.
There has been large amount of country
cured offered, chiefly bulk pork, aud it met
with pretty good demand, chiefly from
city dealers, who bought on speculation, but
| toward the close this demand ceased, and
! the market became quite heavy, and prices
merely nominal. In the fore part of the
week, mess pork was held at II 00Gl7 IS
for country and city, and some 1900 brls.
sold at the former rate, country packed but
delivered here. At the close Is IS was the
outside rate obtainable for the best brands,
and not much demand even at that rate
However, in the absence of sales, the clos
ing prices must be regarded nominal.
The demand for bacon has been quite
light and the market ruled dull all the
week, and prices gradually declined from
day to day, though the amount offered has
not been large, but, nevertheless, in excess
of the demand, and the market closes very

Missouri and Iowa currency advanced to
per cent. discount, during the week, but
Illinois and Wisconsin remains at Z dis.
In the various departments, business has
been but moderately active during the
week, dealers having bought more with re-
ference to their immediate wants than for
some weeks previously. The changes in
prices Of the leading articles have been few
and not very important. Flour has been
taken quite freely, chiefly by buyers from
Tennessee and Georgia: and about the mid
die of the week prices of superine advanced
l0c per brl, but at the close this advance
was lost, and the market closed dull at so
for superfne of well known brands. The
exports during the week exceed the imports.
The changes in grain have not been impor-
tant The demand for wheat has been good,
and prices ruled rather higher for red, clos
ing at OO01 02. White unchanged, and
selling at l O50I o. Corn has been in
fair demand, but prices ruled shade easier;
the supply is good. Barley is &c higher,
and for prime 7O@72c has been freely paid.
Whisky declined to 1890, and has been
dull all the week the supply has been
light, but shipments to New Orleans have
ceased, only so far as purchases have been
made by dealers from thence. The tariff
imposed upon this and manufactured goods
has put a complete stop to consignments of
such to the South. Hay advanced 90 per
ton, and is in good demand at 2 0O@13 90
for prime timothy, taken at the railway sta
tous. Glover seed has been in moderate
demand during the week at 4 006D4 Is, and
timothy seed in good demand at rather bet
ter prices, holders asking 2 6O@2 IS at the
close.
Choice fresh butter was in light supply,
bringing l5c readily on arrival. Cheese
steady at SIC for shipping lots, W. R.
The business done in groceries has been
quite large, and the amount of the leading
articles going into consumption is fully up
to the average, and in advance of the cor
responding weeks in 1860, or 1859. The
com narisnn Is as fnllnMs.

SAVANNAH, Ga, Jan. Z, 1861.
Nearly hundred more men have been sent
down to protect " Fort Pulaski; arms extra
ordinary have been given the troops by order OF
the Governor, whose esprit and patriotism
are loudly commended by those whose game
he playa, and whose INSCRIPTIONS tool no
has become. The purpose for which these troops
we're sent to take the fort, according to the
Governors ples, seems now to be quite
forgotten. The men are armed as against q pow
erful foe; they are doing the best that their linn
tied knowledge of the art Of war will permit TO
make the place they hold impregnsble. Toey
boast now that they are ready for any
force the sea may bring. Bearing 10 mind that
the fort was seized lest the eDraged people"
should take it, does it not seem little strange
to find that the enemy against which the property
is to be protected is looked for by sea.
What army is expected Clearly not any for
eipn force; for the Government would not 80
long have left the place uDgarrisoned Is it pos
sble, Governor Brown, patriotic protector OF the
public property, that your noble soldiers expect
the troops Of their own country and that, OK
pectng them they mean to receive them with
cannons, breech-loading carbines, revolvers, and
the saber7
Now that the deed is done, and that the ex-
ctemeDt attending the seizure has subsided, there
ia a slight reaction of feeling. Not among the
perambulating bulldogs Of treason who infest
railway station, wharf, and GROCERY. They are
always full of whisky and ardor, and they haul
up for fuel almost as often az locomotive en-
CINE on Southern railroad. But there are a
large number of people who think Of the future,
at least occasionally. When you find merchant
who has nothing to do except to look out Of his
shop and sec the crowd pass by; DOW and
then. it may be, when trade is unusually
brisk, selling paper Of pins or cutting of some
" samples" of cheap calico for q wandering poe
sible customer TO take homo and efamine--this
man, say, has time, place, and inclination for
reflection; and he is the type of great clsss
engaged in divers caIGngs. He sees himself
close upon ruin. He viii no longer seD on
credit, and no ono viii buy for money, because
no one has any wherewith TO boy. He sces that
