AUGUSTA MARKET.
Weekly Report*.* Tuesday, P. M.
We publish to-day in our weekly statement the an
nual statement of the extent, exports and consumption
of the Cotton crop for the year 1847-3, as made up by
the New York Shipping & Commercial List, which
is always referred to as correct authority on all mat
ters connected with the Cotton trade. By it we see
that the receipts of the past year amount to 2,347,634
bales, against 1,778,651 bales; for the crop of the year
before. The exports to foreign countries, amount to 1,-
324,265 against 830,909 last year, showing an increase
in the receipts of 563,983 bales, and in tho exports
of 493,356 bales. We think that the statement is not
quite large enough of the amount of consumption by
the factories in oar own State, Georgia, which we
would from our inquiry put down at 15,000 bales in
stead of 6000 as estimated in the list; the consump
tion in the Northern States is put down at 531,777
bales, showing an increase of 103,805 bales over the
last year, and of 412,819 bales over the year 1828
and 1829.
We have made up this week, as well as we could
do it, the statement of receipts, increase, stock and
exports of the new year, since the Ist of September.—
By it we see that the receipts in the early part of this
year, promise largely to exceed the receipts of the
past year; this may be accounted for in two ways—
the early gathering of the new crop and the large a
mount of old Cotton in the interior towns and in the
hands ofplanters at home.
The prospect of the present crop is not as flattering
as we anticipated it some six weeks ago in our State,
the injury to the crop from rust has been very consid
erable, reducing the estimate of some planters at least
one-third, and in the West and South-west the rot,
boll w r orm and rust, are all complained of in some de
gree, to what extent it is impossible to ascertain.
The last accounts from England, to the Ist of Sep
tember, are considered more favorable for prices than
was generally calculated on, as the fears of the failure
of the grain crop had been in a manner removed, and
the rot of the potatoe has not proved as extensive as
was at first imagined.
Another feature which we notice, and which has
had some effect upon prices with us and on the sea
board, is the recommencement of buyers for the
French market, which trade had almost been sus
pended for the last six months. We notice an entire
cargo of cotton clearing in Charleston for Havre.
We look for an increase in this trade, as w-ell as of
the trade to the Continent of Europe.
Annexed are our usual statements of receipts, in
crease and decrease, stock and exports, all made up
to the latest dates :

! OTTON.— Our market opened on Wednesday
anu Thursday with a good demand, and about 500
bales of new Cotton were sold from wagons, at from
5$ tosjc. On Friday and up to Monday, prices
giadaally stiffened, and an advance of from $ to |c
was freely paid. To-day the market was less ani
mated, and when we left the market we came to the
conclusion that sales could not be made unless hold
ers gave way at least as much as the market had ad
vanced. The sales of the week amount to 2,108 bales,
at the following rates; 6at 4*; 22 at 4*; 42 at 4* .
55 at 4|; 12 at 4J; 219 at 5; 126 at 5* ; 118 at s*;
227 at 5| ; 54 at 5 7-16; 442 at 5J ; 82 at 5 9-16;
211 at sf; 92 at 5 11-16; I3oats|; 161 at 55 ; 14
at 5 15-16 ; and 95 bales at 6 cents.
We quote Inferior to Ordinary, 4$ a 4£; Good
Ordinary, 4| ; Middling. 5 a s|; Good Middling, 5§
aSJ ; Middling Pair, s|; Pair, 5| ; Good Fair and
Choice 6 cents.
The sales of new Cotton amount to near 1000
bales from 5J to 6 cents—round bales arc always
sold at * of a cent less than our quoted rates.
GRAIN.—Sales of about 2000 bushels Corn have
been made at 45 cents for Shelled, without sacks.
About 100 bushels Oats at 31? cents. 200 bushels
Meal, 45 aSO cents. Wheat and Rye are much in
quired for—the latter would no doubt command $1
per bushel in small lots.
BACON. —The arrivals of this article, both by
wagons and rail road, continue heavy. Sales of com
mon lots, hog round, to the extent of 30,000 lbs., have
been made at 5$ ass cents on short time, and above
10,000 lbs. good Sides at 6 cents, also on time. A
small lot of choice Haras was sold at 8 cents, and
immediately retailed at 10 cents, cash.
FEATHERS. —Sales of about 500 lbs. Were made
at 28 cents. The article tis not plenty and the de
mand is good.
FLOUR. —The receipts and the stock of this arti
cle is moderate. Sales continue to be made by the
quantity at $5 a 85J per bbl., and at retail at $6 for
the best brands.
GROCERIES. —A heavy business is doingamong
our Grocery dealers, and goods of all descriptions
are selling at very low figures. Sugar we quote at
from 5J a 8 cents per lb. ; Coffee at 7a9 cents; Mo
lasses 24 a2B ; Rum 33 a 35 ; and Whiskey 28 a
30. This latter article is getting scarce.
SALT.—Sack Salt is selling at $1 62J per sack
at wholesale and retail, holders prefer selling small
lots to large ones. Bulk Salt is generally held at 50
cents. The Stock of Salt in our market is not large,
BAGGING AND BALE ROPE.—Both these
articles are looking up in prices. About 200 pieces
Kentucky Bagging were sold this week at 17J cents,
short time. Gunny Bagging is retailing and whole
saling at 19 a2O cts.; Kentucky, 17£ al9 ; Dundee,
14 a 18c. The stock of Bale Rope is not heavy, and
a good article readily commands 10 cts. Twine is
sold at from 20 to 25c.
EXCHANGE.—Checks on the North continue I
dull at | per ct, prem. Money is getting tight, and
the difficulties of negotiation are increasing. Checks
on Charleston, Savannah, and al! the interior towns,
par. ,
FREIGHTS. —Our river is now getting a little
too low for the comfort of our Steamboat Agents. The
Steamers cannot now come higher than Bugg’s Bar,
and the lightest cannot take away more than half
loads. Freights remain without change.
CHARLESTON, Sept 19. — Cotton. —There has
been a moderate demand for Cotton since our last re
port. The transactions in the three days reach 2600
bales, 1200 of which were sold yesterday. Prices
have been irregular, and the market closed yester
day at prices in favor of the purchaser. The sales
have been at extremes ranging from 5 to 6 7-16ths; a
large portion of the operations, however, have been
within the range of 6 a 6^c.
Rice. —The receipts on Friday and Saturday last
reached some 550 a 650 tierces, the whole of which
were sold, mostly at S 3 11-16ths per hundred, which
is an advance of l-16th on the sales made at the close
of the previous week ; and yesterday 300 tierces
were sold at S 3 11-16ths and 83| per hundred, which
is a further improvement in prices.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 13, P. M. — Cotton. —
The demand has been steady and continues to be
freely met by factors. The sales reach 1200 bales,
including 500 and 90 bales Good Middling at 5| and
211 bales strictly Middling at s£c.

Our estimate in this statement of the quantity taken
for consumption in the Cotton-growing States, does
not include any Cotton manufactured iu the States
South and West of Virginia, but it cannot have es
caped observation that the consumption at the South
and West is gradually increasing, and it seems pro
per in making up an account of the Production of the
Country, that some notice should be taken of it. The
following estimate, from a judicious and careful ob
server at the South, of the quantity so consumed, (and
not included in the receipts at all,) may not be devoid
of interest. Thus, in
North Carolina Bales-. 15,500
South Carolina 6,000

Total bales - • 75.000
To which may be added the quantity barnt in the
interior, and that lost on its way to market; these,
added to the Crop as given above, received at the
Shipping Ports, will show very nearly the amount
raised in the United States the past season.
The quantity of new Cotton received at the ship
ping Ports up to the Ist inst. amounted to about 3,000
bales, against 1,121 bales last year.
The Shipments given in the above Statement from
Texas, are those by sea only : a considerable portion
of the Crop of that State finds its way to market via.
Red River, and is included in the Receipts at New
Orleans.
The Receipts at Philadelphia and Baltimore over
land from the West this season were 1,479 bales,
against 1,828 bales last year.
