THE CHARLESTON MARKET.


FOR THE WEEK ENDING FRIDAY, AUGUST 81. 1861
REMARKs-At the termination of one business season
and the of another it is but proper that
we should look around notice prospect for the
new year. While from sections of the South the
reports received would indicate favorable state of the
crops we regret say that much of the country on
which Charleston depends is not well situated The
Cotton crop from which main prosperity is derived
has been seriously damaged by unavorable weather,
and unleas we have late and propitious season the
yield of Cotton In South Carolina will hardly exceed
1876 600 bales which is about onehrd of crop. The
Rice crop will be very Short not exceeding one-ffh Of
an ordinary yield and the Corn CROP which is the main
support of the farmer has been in large districts e
tire failure, and is very short throughout the State
This unfortunate condition of affairs will render it
necessary for must persons to practice rigid economy
for the coming year. and business may reasonably be
exp. cted to be quite limited for the ensuing twelve
months Dealers in the necessaries of life the only
parties who may look with degree of certainty for
prosperous business

and exports, which we Lave made complete up to
