THURSDAY, Dec. 12--6 m.
There was rather freer movement in general
trade to-day, but the markets were somewhat
irregular, some descriptions OF merchandise ad
vancng while others ruled lower. The scarcity Of
tonnage and the frmness with which
freight room was held continued to act
as hindrance to the export movement
which was accordingly slow Cotton was In
rather better request and an advance was
established. On Change -four remained dull and
heavy, while wheat was heavy and lower to sell to
any extent, the export movement being checked
by the high rates OF freight demanded. In the
provision department duness still constituted the
chief feature, and prices favored the buyers Lard
was firm. Whiskey was wanted. and prices ad-
vanced the usual nc. per gallon. Groceries con-
tnued very quiet, and .0r most descriptions prices
were nominal. Petroleum was In the same con-
dition previously noticed, parties being still wide
apart in their views Naval stores easier partcu
larly for spirits, which offered more freely.
CoFFEE-There was no trade reported to-day from
first hands, but there was q moderately fair job
bing business consummated at full current prices.

ACTIVITY Of BuslNEss.-An excellent Idea
OF the present activity of every kind of busi-
ness In Charleston can be had by pausing for
q few moments at the corner of Meeting and
Calhoun streets, between sunrise and dark,
on any day except Sunday. As far as the eye
can see up Meeting and down Calhoun it be-
holds two unbroken streams of drays, trucks,
&C.. running counter to each other, one
stream up, the other down. The drays are
pIled with cotton and every description OF
merchandise, the dust rises In mid air Like a
cloud of mist, while the clatter OF the vehicles
and shouts of the drivers are painful and
deafening to the ear.
