REPORT OF GREGG & MARTIE-Tuesday, August 49,
Owing the entire absence of old stock and the few
bales Of new cotton received during the week being
mostly for shipment, the small transactions made can
hardly be used as basis for regular quotations. We
are glad to find, however, thaa number Of buyers are
already on the spot, prepared to give the coming crop
acordial greetng-in gold or greenoacks. The hot
dry weather Of the past ten days SO favorable to the
crop and so trying to The worm, has so materially
frightened the faces and prospects of the planters
that the complaints against that nsatiate enemy Of the
great staple have become SO " faint and low as to
have almost " died into an echo"
