SEA IsLANDs.-The crop of sea island COTTON IS
reaching the market very Slowly, anu tiere oeine
absolutely no demand for this description, noIh-
ing has been done during the past week: Tne
holders of the stock on hand exhibit no dlsposl-
ton to sell at present, prelerrng to awalt Ine de
velopments of the next two months. we may
remark that the anticipations OF sea island plant
ers have not been realized, and the yield OF TINS
stapleis not near so large as was expected carry
in the season. The severe drought mas anecteu 0,i
this crop to an extent probably reaching 70 SS7s
per cent In the Georgia sea islands. The reports
from Florida are also unfavorable In many loca-
tions. The market will probably open IN a lew
weeks, and we shall be able to give something g
like correct quotations. .,. 90
The receipts at this port since september 70
amount to II ,9o6 bales Of uoland and SO bales OF
sea island, of which 991S bales OF upland were re-
ceived per c. R. R., 145s bales OF upland 4S 1aies

Philadelphia, and Is bales upland and Il pales
sea island to Charleston.
RICE.-The new crop Of rice Is arriving very
slowly, and, the old crop being exhausted, we are
unable to give quotations. No sales OF clean nave
been efYecfed to establish the market Inc de.
mand is fair for city consumption, and, as soon
as the receipts warrant the operations Oh lne
mills, the market will probably open az stronger
figures than have heretofore ruled. Tne adVlces
from the Carolina crop are uniavoraDle, go0o
Judges estimating thedefcit In the crop at Iuly
one-third. A few loads Of rough nave oeen re-
ceiyed, which is now at the mills.
FREioHTs.-The bark Kentvllle ana SNIP ilger TtI,
are for Liverpool at GIG. The ship Crescent City
was placed on the berth for Liverpool anu engag-
ed 1000 bales, and the remaining portion OF ner
freight room is unengaged. We quote 10 LIVER we,
pool, by steam, cotton Id per pound 40. Oy san,
dull at e-l6i. But little offering for Havre, IOr
which port the schooner NJ. E. Grey has peen
placed.
