PETERSBURG, November +, Iooo'
Tbouph We are outside Of the political
brrr;cape which has been sweeping over
other parts of the country, yet ITS enectf
bava been felt here in the general stagna-
t;on of trade. At no time during the 1ai|
has business been so dull. With the excep'
tion oF one article Of production, the price
of which is regulated by the foreign de,
,rond it must be conceded that the mar.e'
80 varv fiat. That article is cotton, when
Continues steady. 1t is bought uP. by SNIP
pers and spinners as fast as II arrives
fhoucb the receipts are heavy, lnsomuch
that the stock on hand Is very small. There
is little or no change in the price since our
last report.
The offerings of tobacco are small, and
the receipts light. Probably If the market
was active large quantity OF loose TOBACCO
would be brought in, as Is customary at TINS
season. Under the present depression II
is to the interest Of planters to hold BACK,
and put nothing on the market but prim--
ipcs. These sell as well now as they Will
of anv time, and, in fact, command COCA
nrices. We would advise planters to be In
no hurry to sell, but rather to bestow care
full attention in curing their crops, and pa
tiently wait for better prices. These Will
be sure TO come in due time.
The wheat market is very fiat, even prime
samples having experienced decline OF
twenty-five cents since our last report. Ihls
decline has come rather more suddenly than
was expected, though IN other respects II Is
in accordance with the usual course CT trade
IN breaistuftS; for as stocks accumulate In
ratio disproportlonate 10 the demand du~
rino the three or four months succeeding
harvest, prices always recede Tor time.
When, however, the supplies from the fruit
full Northwest are Interrupted by ice, as IS
generally the case early in December, the
stock on hand in the eastern markets be-
gins TO diminish, and the value is restored
to its former standard. Doubtless the same
turn will be witnessed again this time. But
rs the decline now has been sudden instead
OF gradual, we may reasonably look Tor
some rejection at an early day.
The same causes which have induced the
fall IN wheat have influenced the price VI
-four, but not to the same extent.
In corn there has been slight decline,
both in old and new.
Peanuts are beginning to come in quite
freely--a portion of them only In good con-
diton. In season like the present, they
are readily cured and il is q great over
sight in planters to send them to marke
before they are thoroughly dried. There
is good reason to believe that this crop Ii
destined to become leading source O.
profit to the farmers Of tidewater Virginia
