Augusta Market.
Corrected to Jan. 9th. 1874.
PRODUCE REVIEW,

Business in prOslsions for the past week has
improved materially, the country trade being
heavy, while speculative demand prevails
with activity in all the leading artcles-four,
bacon, grain &c. The stock Of bacon held is
small, with an upward tendency in prices In
bulk meats the same feeling exists the most
on the mar ket being held by spectators, who
look for higher prices. The stock of grain held
IS fully ample for the existing demand, while
holders are not disposed to sell, unless at an adj
vance of from 3 to &c. on last weeks quotations.
The advance is on good basis. The bulk of
what corn is on the market is held on limit from
Shippers, showing firm feeling in the West.
Oats are in light supply with a moderate de-
mand prices are too high for general consump-
ton. There were some receipts of wheat since
our last report which met with an active de-
msnd at full prices, Flour is frmer; the de-
mand for fancy family and good grades of ex-
ira is brisk, the most of the stock on the mar
ket during the early part of the week having
changed hands at an advance on last weeks fes
ures. Our city mills are worked up to their full
capacity. Lard is fairly active the stock held
being more than sufficient for the demand. In
hay the trade has about commenced; choice lots
command ready sale at quotations.

BEEF CATTLE--The market opened this week
with a strenuous effort on the part of sellers to
obtain the prices of last week, and operations
were effected slowly, buyers holding off till
concession of saic was obtained, and so the
market continued and closed, The advance Of
last week was thus lost. and we may make the
decline on all grades except stockers, which
show little ifany falling of. The quality of the
offerings generally was q better average than
last weeks and our top quotations., was OBJ
tanned for very few, and those picked cattle.
There was rather limited number of the COM
mon grades on the market. FL

Booty and Beauty.

The following good sleeping-car joke is
going about:
A gentleman occupied an upper berth in
a certain section, and lady the lower. In
that dim uncertain daylight which dawns
on travellers in heavily-curtained +" sleep
ers," the gentleman above referred to tried
to find his boots, but nowhere about this
narrow bed could he see more than one of
them. Looking downwards he thought
he saw another on the berth below him so
reaching dowd he tried to lift it up. Strange
to say, it lifted from certain height and
then fell from his hand. He tried again
with the same result, and yet again with
no better luck, when suddenly the boot
apparently became endued with life and
evaded his grasp. Then the situation flash
ed upon him and he became contrite. Con-
triton is good thing, but it may also be-
come nuisance, for fancy the gentleman
in the upper berth apologizing 10 the lady
in the lower for mistaking her boot on her
own foot for his own.
