On last saturday night about one

called up0u to subdue the most des-

tents. The wind was blowing strongly
at the time, and the flames spread to
the church Of the village, which was
situat, 4 u sLolt distance from the
warehouse. The rooms over the

The church and Masonic Hall were

COMMERCIAL EPITOME-The
j. acre and there some Improvement
al trade, mostly of seasonal manufac-
t;;Ges, DuI the aggregate of business is
moderate, aud the spirit OF vitality IN
cldent 10 more prosperous seasons are
lacking. the fall trade has not yet
.aIrly opened, the weather for the past
teu days has been unreasonable and
very few country merchants have been
II town. As the weather becomes
cooler We may expect an improvement
Ii this line. Naval stores are frmer
than last week. There has been an
advance in all branches of the trade
,,nd the outlook is favorable for an
active business during the fall and
winter.
Cotton is coming in slowly as yet,
but enough of the nav crop has ar
rived to establish market Every
preparation is being made by the mer =
chants to do large business in that
line. The Wilmington Compress Com
pauy have about completed the con-
structiOn of their press and warehouses,
and have mate arrangements with the
different railroad companies to deliver
al cotton intended for shipment a.
/ their warehouses, free OF expense to
the shipper.
The export movement for the week
WAS rather light, as compared with the
previous week. The shipments We're
as follows: Cotton, 10 bales Spirits

/ for last week.
Ocean freights continue quiet. There
was no increase on tonnage during the
week. Rates of charter and freight
unchanged.
The chief features of market, and
the changes of prices Of most Of the
leading products and manufactures for
. the week, were as follows
co rTON.-The receipts have been
larger OF this staple during the week
than for some three months previous,
the larger portion of the receptions
being of the new crop. Quotations
were established on last Friday and on
Saturday were followed with an
advance. Holders as rule have been
free sellers during the week for such
lots as they have had to offer and the
sales have been quite fair considering 6
the amount here.
Tpe receipts for the week were 104
bales. The exports were 10 bales and
the stock in yard is 483 bales.
The general cotton movement fol
the week was as follows.
It appears that the total receipts fol
the week have reached 4, ,264 bales
against 3,610 bales last week, l, ,94I
bales the previous week, and l,54
bales three weeks since, making th'
total receipts since the first of Septem
Der, 1875, 4,264 bales, against $3.50
bales for the samo period of 1874
showing a decrease since Septembe

TAR.-The market is frmer than
last week, and prices have been we'll

stances. The receipts are larger than
previously reported, and to-day at the
close the market is tirn at 81 40 per
barrel.
The receipts for the week were 725
barrels. Exports $50 barrels. Stock
in yard aud afoat ], ,587 barrels.
GRAIN.-The grain trade does not
show any very material change for the
worse or any Improvement for the
better during the past week. The
general range of prices are about the
same as formerly reported. There
were no cargo arrivals reported.
We quote the market as follows :
Cargo lots IL bulk 80@85 cents. Care
go lots in bags 5000 cents. Quota
tions for small lots for store remain
unchanged. The receipts for the week
were 5000 bushels per steam ships,
and about $500 bushels by railroad.
The following are the quotations
from store to-day: Yellow and mixed
corn, 81 023@1 O5 cents, aud which
