REvIE"
OF THE
WILMINGTON MARKETS,
FOR THE
WEEK ENDING: TIL; R>IsAX.
January :s;S. 1873.

THE WEEK.--Tradc i'll most
branches of business has been
rather light the past week,
though during the last few days there
has been Il noticeable improvement i'll
in the naval market, though prices
have shown but few fluctuations and
but very little improvement. In the
dry-gOods market there has been little
animation, as we are between two sea-
sons when buyers do not want to i'll
crease their stocks of winter goods and
have no demand for Summer or Spring
fabrics. There has been an easier
working of the money market during
the past week, for, although the de-
mand for discounts have been kept up
well, it has not been SO large as the
banks anticipated and their deposits
have increased materially. SO they
have ample means to take up all &C.
ceptable paper offered.
The changes in prices of the leading
articles and special featu IS of the
week ending to-day are reviewed as
follows:
COTTON-Friday and Saturday
there was a good demand and liberal
sales Of this staple at full quotations
of last week. Monday, under the in
fuence of the foreign and Northern
advices, the market eased up and prices
were reduced about to cts. Since the
market has ruled very quiet and steady
with occasional transactions, but not
in sufficient bulk or grades to establish
quotations, hence our quotations as
we give them are entirely nominal for
middling and better grades. The re-
ceipts at this port are rapidly ON the
decline, bllt there is very little move
ment i'll the stock on account of the
scarcity of tonnage,
The general cotton movement for
this week AS compared with last week
shows an increase in receipts and a
large falling off in exports. The re-
ceipts at all the ports for the week
were 1916, 225 bales against 23}, $50 bales
last week, 104. 7O3 bales the previous
week, and JOB, 443 bales three weeks
since. The total receipts since Sep
against .70}, 900 for the correspond
. ing period of the previous year, show
ing an increase since September /,
1872. of 300. 80 bales. The exports
from Ill the ports for the week We're

year are 1,O3S, 1872 bales, against

FREIGHTS.-Th market is very
high and suitable tonnage of all de-
scriptions is scarce. There is good
demand existing for coastwise as well
as foreign shipping from the naval
store and lumber dealers. The arrivals
of vessels are slow and the shipping in
port has all been taken up, and the
market may be written very firm. The
rates by steamships to New York, Bal
timore and Philadelphia have ex-
perienced no visible change. Foreign
shipping is done principally under

fixed. We refer to our table below for

Ineonvenient Abuse.

The Assessorship of this county
are let out every year by the Coun-
ty Court, and sufficient salary paid
the assessors to justify them in CIV
ing all needful attention TO their Off
ces, and in bestOwing the requisite
labor to ascertain what is to be tax
ed and who is to pay the taxes. Yet
Notwithstanding this fact, ii is the
well known practice of some of the
assessors to go to the books of their
predecessors and copy them without
regard to the alterations of real es-
tate which may have occurred since
the last assessment.
Now, this is wrong, for the assessors
are sworn to discharge the duties
with as much fidelity as their abil-
tiles may enable them to, and yet we
find them making no inquiry as to
who the owners of land are beyond
the tax books of those who have
gone before them. What are the
duties oftax assessors? 1t is not only
to smell out all the taxable properly
in their respective precincts, but
likewise to ascertain who the own
ers of that propety are. This is due
to the taxpayer, no less than to the
State. The taxpayer has right to
have his account for taxes made out
in true form, and you ought and
cannot sell his properly for taxes I'M
less it is so made out. To sell q
mans estate for taxes in the name
of another man is no benefit to the
State, being null and void, and is
embarrassing to the man, because
of the cloud which the proceedings
of condemnation for taxes entails.
Let us have honest and faithful as
sessments, not in name only, but in
| fact RfDeIzy Mans
