COLUMBIA, 8. c., Feb. 6, 1869.
Fleetwood Lanneau, County Treasured. Charleston g. c.
bT-A proper Interpretation OF my order OF the
oath of October, 1868, requires that the assess.
ments shall include all cotton purchased and sold.
IL does not include cotton purchased and not sold,
nor does it include cotton sold but not purchased.
But in all cases where cotton Is purchased and
sold the assessment must be made. Shipments of
cotton previously purchased 10 be regarded as
sales. Therefore, whenever q sale Is made by q
commission merchant or factor in your city for
merchant living In this State, you will not require
a return Of so much of said sale as will be
returned by the country merchant
Very respectfully,
(Signed) j. l.. NEAGLB,
Controller. General.
CorroS CoMISa TO MARKEr.-The recent sd.
vance In cotton Is moving the staple to market in
some quarters, as will be seen by the following
For the past week we have noticed cotton CON-
ing in very freely. The planters have been keep
ing their cotton for prices to rise. Now that it
has gone up few cents they are eager to get il

Cotton and naval stores are still pouring into
this market from the up country and surrounding
towns, and the steamers 60 to New York with full

Pork PACKING IN THE WEsT.-The Cincinnati
Price Current says: M
In our last we stated that enough had been
known to justify us in saying that the number Of
hogs packed in the West the present season will
fall short of the packing last season about 800 900
hogs, and in no case can it be far enough from
this point to change the result essentially. II
seems to rs that the weight will not differ much
from that of last season, and we think from infor
nation we have, that there will be very little
difference in the yield Of lard if any, it will be
against this season. that is the yield will be less.
The great delay in collecting the statistics ofpork
packing is not in getting the number OF hogs
packed, but in ascertaining the yield Of lard and
the average weight, and without these the Stats
tics would be incomplete. Pork packing in this
city has been virtually closed for two weeks. yet
we have not yet been abe to get the returns from
over one half the houses. Two are still packing
and many Of them have not weighed their lard.
