sSkyANSAH. october 5.-CoTToN-The market
during the past week has exhibited no remarkable
sympsoms. and has been characterized by the
Sbsence oi any excitement. It has very slowly
recovered from the New York monetary crisis OF
the week previous, and although holders were
ready by large concessions to meet the views OF
buyers, the latter showed signs Of want Of con-
1dence In domestic exchange, which caused them
to be very cautious In their operations. There has
been consequently no;heayy business done. Dur
ing the week under review, prices nave peen gen,
esaIly maintained, the market closing to-day at
aD6ut the game figures which ruled at the close
of last weeks operations.
The receipts, as compared with those Of previ-
psied themselves with surcient cash 70 meet obi

RICs.-The new crop Of rice is arriving very
slowly, and, the old crop being exhausted, we are
nnabie to give quotations. No sales Of clean have
been effected to establish. the market. The de-
Inand is fair for city consumption, and, as soon
as the Irece,ptS warrant the operations Of the
mills, the market win probably open at stronger
figures than have heretofore ruled. The sdv1ces
1ron the Carolina crop are unfavorable, good
tudRes estimating the defcit In the crop at FULLY
one-third. The city mills have commenced opera
tions for the season, but very little has as yet
come 20 market planters awaiting the fall In the
tides to complete harvesting.
FREIeHTs.-There is ample tonnage onering,
both foreign and coastwise, causing the market TO
rule dnl at our quotations, which remain un-
changed. We equote to Liverpool, by steam, cotton
