The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1869-01-20

day tho feeling was very strong throughout The day,
and attention was particularly directed to the lines
of transit cottons which were bought at prices much
lower than the rates now current at the South The
sales amounted to IL 45S bales, at 29Zc for mddlng
| uplands.
There have been received at the ports since 1st
September 1SS bales. Of which exporters have
taken 629 526 bales; spinners and the stocks
have increased 26o.6S7 bales The excess over last
year is row reduced to s3 712 bales. We shall coz
nue to make up the receipts at the ports as hereto
fore. because do not wish to guess at the over
| land shipments direct to the mills. We can ascer-
| tain the exports from Memphis, where correct Ia
bles are kept, but not the shipments from other
| places in Tennessee. The only way by when the
amount of the crop can now be ascertalned, ls oy
obtaining f:cn all the mills correct statement OF
their stocks haud at the beginning and eud OF the
:, ar, and the amount actually consumed.
During the week our prices have advanced lAc
and Liverpool is I'd higher. he Gales OF the week
here have been IS 4iS bales, of which 14.Sl9 bales
we're in transit. They have attracted considerable
attention. because they have been OIL reu al tne
week over per lb less than cotton could pe oou9n
| at the South Most OF the cheap lots having bcen
disposed OF, we think that the prices OF ransits
must advance 10 parity with the Southern markets;

improved Cool kaYe advanced little, but cotton
has advanced more. 1t is plain that their present
untavorable situation is due to one Of two causes
Either cotton has too high, Or goods have been
loo low. As they have seldom f,iei heretofore In
depressing cotton under similar circumstances, 1t ls
not suprising that all their efforts hare been direc

action of planters, we think they Will now tlrn
their attention to TIE alternative and put goods up
