August 12, 1345.—Dear Sir ; If my testimony in
favor of your valuable medicine will uo you any
good, or be of any service to the sick and afflicted,
you are welcome to make such use of it as you please,
for seven or eight years I have not enjoyed perfect
health. In the Spring of 1844 I had some cough ; I
w as then in Worcester county, Mass., and applied to
a physician, who gave me some medicine, but it did
not relieve me ; I was not able to work during the
summer. Last fall I was much worse, so reduced
b y coughing, and sweating nights, that 1 was obliged
fotake my room. My physician tried in vain to re
naove my cough and restore me to health, but I did
not expect to recover; I however concluded to try
istar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry ; I was then
troubled with very frequent spells of coughing, night
®nd day ; before I had taken one bottle, my cough
was easier; I continued to take the medicine until I
'vasable to leave ray room, I have taken several
bottles, and 1 think Wistar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry
has cured me ; at least I feel as well and as strong as
rave for twelve years. John Metcalf.

CHARLESTON, January I.— Cotton. —The Cot
ton market has undergone no material change since
our report of the 241 h ultimo. The only new features
we have to notice is some slight improvement in the
demand, and the increase in the supply. The trans
actions of Friday last—for it will be recollected that
our publication was anticipated a day —were confined
to some 250 bales, without any change in prices.
Saturday was Christmas, and nothing was done in the
article. On Monday a moderate demand prevailed,
and near <OO bales were sold; Tuesday, however,
was a quiet day, as the transactions were limited to
about 400 bales ; but when we closed our inquiries,
the prices current just prior to our former report were
sustained. On Wednesday we received the tele
graphic accounts by the steamer Hibernia, but as is
generally the case on such occasions very little was
sold, as dealers preferred to await the result of more
detailed accounts. The mail of Thursday placed
them in possession of their letters, and also the news
paper accounts; the market, however, was again ne
glected, as purchasers were engaged with their pri
vate correspondence. The operations of these two
days were confined to 700 bales. The advices brought
over by the steamer certainly wear an improved as
pect, but European buyers have not made their ap
pearance. The transactions yesterday reached near
1100 bales, and confined, as indeed lias been the bu
siness of the week, almost solely to coastwise ship
ment. The transactions it will be seen have run
principally on the better grades, which are fully as
high as they were at the opening of tlie week. We
continue former quotations, viz : middling fair, 7| ;
and fair and fully fair, 7| a Sets. The receipts since
our last reach 7660 bales, against the sale in the
same time of 3116 bales, as follows: —23 bales at 7;
33 at 7f; Bat 7j; 245 at 7f; 617 at 7f; 955 a 7£;
and 236 bales at Bc. We have no transactions to re
port in Long Cotton.

Rice. —We have no change to notice in this article.
The operations since our last reach, perhaps, at the
extent, about 1900 tierces. The market was quite
languid when we closed our inquiries yesterday, but
we have no positive reduction to record in prices; and
continue the quotations of the 24th ultimo, viz : fair
to good qualities 3 a 3}-; and prime parcels from s3|
to —. The sales of the week have been at extremes
ranging from $3 to s3| per hundred. The receipts
comprise 2046 tierces.
Corn. —There has been a material increase in the
receipts of Corn during the week just brought to a
close. Between Hand 12,000 bushels, mostly white
flint, have reached us from North Carolina, which
have passed into the hands of dealers, at prices rang
ing from 69 to 72c. per bushel; it is doubtful, how
ever, in the present state of the market, if fresh arri
vals would sustain these rates. About 12,500 bush
els have been received by the Railroad. The market
for country Corn is very heavy. We quote this de
scription at 60 a 65c., with and without the bags, as
the wholesale price, although we are aware that se
veral small parcels have been sold at something above
these figures.
Flour. —This article has to a great extent been ne
glected during the week. The bakers are supplied
at present, and there has been no demand for coast
wise shipment. Several small parcels superfine have
been forced off, at prices ranging from ss£ to 5f per
barrel. Our remarks apply solely to country Flour,
which constitutes the supply on sale. There have
been received since our last about <OO barels by the
Railroad.
Hay. —We have no change to notice in North Ri
ver. About 700 bales have been sold, part of which
was a store lot. The receipts of the week comprise
300 bales Eastern and about 1,000 bales North Ri
ver. The former was sold at 90c. 300 bales of the
latter is incorporated in the sales noticed above, the
balance has been stored, as we understand, for higher
prices.
Bacon. —This article has been entirely neglected
during the week. Several parcels have been put up
on the market, but holders have not been able to ef
fect sales.
Lard.— The receipts of the week have been unu
sually heavy, comprising upwards of 1200 kegs, and
150 bbls. from New Orleans. This accumulation of
supply has depressed the market, and prices have re
ceded. Between 5 and 600 kegs have changed hands.
1 The market opened at 9c. and closed at 7Jc. per lb.
The bbls. sold from 9 to Bj=c.
Salt. —Nearlv the whole of the 2900 sacks receiv
ed at the close of the previous week, and reported in
I our last, have been sold at 1.25 and $1.30 per sack.
About 2500 sacks have since come to hand, which
moves off very slowly at 1.20 per sack. We give, as
a fair criterion of the market, 1.15 a $1.30. The re
ceipts for the quarter are 22,619 sacks, and 4450 bush
els in bulk.
Sugars. —The heavy auction sales of Muscovado
i at an early period in the season threw a large supply
1 on ihe market, and the trade having freely supplied
j themselves .at the time, and at low prices, recent arri
vals have in most instances gone into store. Some
j 450hhds., 19 tierces and 31 bbls. Louisiana of the
; new crop, have reached the market since our last, of
, which, only about 40 hhds. have been sold, in small
I lots, at prices ranging from to s|c. according to
quality. Received from foreign ports for the quarter
ending 31 set nit. 329 hhds. 14 tierces, 61 bbls. and 61
i boxes; coastwise in the same time, 573 hhds. 19 tcs.
j and 41 bbls.
Coffee. Small parcels Rio have been sold at pri
| ces ranging from 7£ to 7|. The quarterly receipts
| are 40 hhds. anil 11,100 bags from foreign ports, and
I 2264 bags coastwise.
Molasses. —We have a further decline to notice in
New Orleans Molasses, owing to the increase in the
receipts, and wc might add, the indisposition evinced
among the trade to take hold of the article. The ar
rivals of the week reach 550 bbls., about 350 of which
have been sold—part on speculation—at prices rang
ing from 26 to 25c. per gallon, the market closing at
the latter price. Some 85 hhds. and 3 tierces prime
Cuba, of the new crop, have been received since our
last, a few hhds. of which were sold from the wharf,
at 24c. per gallon. The quarterly receipts comprise
150 hhds. and 3 tierces from foreign ports, and 1756
bbls. coastwise.
Bagging. —This article is in but limited request,
and our former quotations are with some difficulty
sustained.
Rope. —This article has declined in price. Some
400 coils have changed hands this week, principally
at 8£ and B|c
Domestic Liquors. —Some 1300 bbls. of New Or
leans Whiskey fiave been received since our last re
port, nearly if not the whole of which have been sold
at 26, 25£, and 25c. per gallon. About 100 bbls. N.
E. Rum sold at 33 and 34c.
Exchanges. —We have no transactions to report
in Foreign Exchanges.
Freights —Our wharves are well filled with ves
sels, seeking freight engagements, but there is very
little doing in our staples, and the few loading find it
difficult to complete their cargoes. We quote to Li
verpool, Cotton in square bags |d.; Havre |c. for Cot
ton, and $3 per 600 lbs. for Rice. We quote to New
Y ork 20c, per 100 lbs. for Cotton in square bags, and
50c per tierce for Rice; and to Boston, Cotton fc. in
square bags, and $1 per tierce for Rice.
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 29.—The river continues
to rise, and is now 2? feet below high waier mark.
Cotton. —Arrived since the 24th instant, of Louisi
ana and Mississippi 17,977 bales, Tennessee and
North Alabama 1708, Arkansas 800, Florida 117,
Texas 222; together 20,824 bales. Cleared in the
same time for Liverpool 2913 bales, Havre (including
757 bales per ship Taglion, omitted in our last) 3452,
Nantz 645, Malaga 349, Barcelona 761, New York
174, Boston 2363, Baltimore 46; together 10,694
bales—making an addition to stock of 10,130 bales,
and leaving on hand, inclusive of all on ship-board
not cleared on the 28th instant, a stock of 159,736
bales.
Our last report left the Cotton market in an exceed
ingly dull and unsettled state, at a decline of fully a
quarter of a cent from the rates current in the early
part of the wek, and with few or no buyers of large
parcels at this decline, it being about time for the re
ceipt of the Hibernia’s advices. Saturday being
Christmas, and the mail having failed, scarcely any
business was done, the sales having amounted to only
some 300 bales. On Monday parlies were again dis
appointed in the receipt of the foreign advices, andthe
market was heavy, with sales of about 1200 bales.
Y esterday there was more inquiry, but the business
did not reach any very important extent, having a
mountrd to but about 3500 bales. Thus the sales of
the past three days sum up only 5000 bales, which
lias mostly been taken for Spain, the Continent and
the North. As regards prices they still exhibit a good
deal of irregularity, but on the whole there appears to
he no material variation from our previous figures,
which are therefore continued. The receipts at this
port since Ist Sept, (inclusive of the arrivals from
Mobile and Florida) are 365,893 bales, against 283,-
627 bales to same date last year, and 378,117 bales
the year previous.
