TRIAL OF PROFESSOR WEBSTER, I
FOR THE MURDER OF DR. PARKMAN.
No trial for murder has ever excited mores
general interest in this country than that whichl
commenced in Boston, Mass, on the 19th ult. of!
Dr. John W. Webster. The position of the par-1
ties and the circumstances of the killing hav< j
in an unusual degree enlisted the interest of the!
intelligent public all over the country. In view!
of this general interest we shall endeavor, as far!
as it may be in our power, to present an abstract!
of the most important porting? of the testimony.!
For these abstracts we are indebted to the Daily!
Baltimore Sun*
At 9 o’clock on the morning of the 21st, Dr.
Webster was brought from the fo-verett street
jail in a carriage, in irons, to the court-house.
He immediately took his seat in the dock, and
the irons were removed. His step was light j
and elastic, and in crossing the room his coun
tenance seemed calm and composed, to such an
extent as to cause general remark. He famil
iarly nodded to such of his friends and acquaint- j
ances as he recognized, and at one time lie j
slightly smiled. He seems to regard what is pro
gressing around him with much more compos
ure and less apparent interest than is evinced
by many of the spectators.
The countenance of the prisoner indicated to
‘the physiognomist strong animal passion and
irascible temperament. The cheek hones are!
high,and the mouth with compressed lips, betrayg
great resolution and firmness of character; the S
forehead is inclined to angular, rather low and j
partially retreating; standing below the middle!
height, and by no means a man of strong muscu-]
lar strength. His general appearance makes no s
favorable impression.
Doctor N. C. Keep, sworn.—l have practised a
dentistry nearly thirty years. Knew Dr. George]
Parkman, ami have been his family dentist since!
1825. I had a block of teeth shown me; I did 3
recognize them as a set ot teeth that I had made j
for Dr. Parkman in IS4G. (They were handed to j
witness.) These are the same block which were t
shown me, and I recognized them. Dr. Park- ]
man’s month was very regular in one respect, in j
the relation of the upper to the lower jaw; it was I
so peculiar that it made an impression on my j
mind; I remember peculiarities with great ex
actness. The circumstances connected with!
these two models were somewhat peculiar. The 3
first question asked me by Parkman, when teeth |
were about to be ordered, was how long will i |
take? and the reason why he asked, he said, hefl
was at the medical college; it was going to b jt
opened on a certain day when he should want!
new teeth, and he did not want to order them!
unless he could have them by that day. 1 ham
time was rather short. The peculiarities of th*-|
mouth made it a difficult task, requiring as mut h|
skill as I could command. 1 began as soon a.-|
possible, and paid a large part of my attention t;.|
it from day to day. Saw him frequently whih |
it was in progress; and in consequence ofthejj
time, and the close attention to it. I remember?
them more distinctly than in ordinary cases I
Witness expressed his conviction that the teethe
found were the same block he made lor Dr. Park
man. rs
Dr. Keep, iti his testimony, said that he knew!
the teeth without compiling them with the mould.|
Hestated that the order of the natural teeth thata
still remained in Dr. Parknian’s head agret and w ithg
the root of a natural tooth that was found adher §
ing to the block of mineral teeth. The front |
teeth are most injured, and somewhat melted!!
by the intense heat. |
Dr. Noble recognized the teeth in court as those!
on which he had worked for Dr. Parkman. HeJ
was very positive in his recognition of the teeth]
—recognizing them by the general configuration!
by a hole which is not in the place where they?
usually make them, and by the grinding of the]
gum inside-having remembered seeing Dr. Park-]
man grind them. 1 have not the slightest duub j
hut that this is the same block that I worked on]
for Dr. Parkman.
Professor Wyman's testimony was very min-8
ute and positive as to the remains found beiug|
those of l>r. Parkman. |
Our correspondent says the testimony of Drs.d
Keep and Wyman was exciting, and has carried!
the conviction that the body found was thatofgj
Dr. Parkman.
The anxiety to get standing room in court caul
hardly he imagined. Tickets are issued to cer *
tain privileged parties, having business to bej
there, the same as to places of public amused
ments. Occasionally the movement of the crowd]
towards the door is so irrepressible that the po-J
lice are overcome. Personal collisions are also
occurring now and then. Instances of high]
prices being offered tor transfer of tickets of ad-j
missions are numerous.
Ephraim Uttlofield. —On Thanksgiving day,]
in the afternoon, about three o’clock, I began to;
work at the wall, under the vault ; I wanted toE
satisfy myself as to there being anything under
the vault, for I could not go out of the College]
without somebody saying to me that Dr. P. was!
in the Medical College—that he would be found!
there if he was ever found anywhere; all the|
rest of the building bad been serehed except!
that part of it; that 1 knew had not been search-a
•est, ihecause I had the key of it; I went downs]
nhe front scuttle, lifted up the trap-door, went to|
r.he backside of the wall, where officer
and myself bad been ihe ’Tuesday before, and!
be ,r an to work; I bad there a hammer and aa
mortising chisel: I worked some time—got out!
two courses of brick—but as l could not dep
more with those tools. I gave up work, about!
4 i>_ yj, ; that night 1 went to the Thanksgiving!
Ball of the Shakspeare Division of the Sons otj.
Temperance,at Cochituate Hall; next morningjj
I got up about nine o'clock, and, as I sat ata
breakfast, Dr. W. came into the kitchen and!
took up a paper and appeared to be reading it.|
He said “is there any more news?” I said!
there was none. lie said that he had been in|
Mr Henchman’s apothecary shop, and Mr. H.l
had told him that a woman had seen a large!
bundle put into a cab; she remembered the!
number of the cab, and the cob was found and§
discovered to be all covered with blood: I re-|
plied that there were so many stories about Dr.g
I*, that we could not tell what to believe; Urn fig
W. then went up stairs; some time after this ll
was overseeing the arrangement of some busts!
which l had employed some men to bring fori
Dr. Warren’s museum; Dr. Bigelow was pres-g
ent; I told Dr. Henry J. Bigelow that I had eom-g
menced digging through the wall; I understood!
him to say “go ahead with it;” f told I)r. B.g
all about Prof. W. keeping his doors locked.3
(This last was ruled out as incompetent.] l|
went into the demonstration room and there ly
found Dr. J. S. Jackson alone; I to’.d him I wasß
digging through the wall; he got up and camel
towards me; said he “Littlefield, 1 feel dreadful-1
ly about the matter, and do you go through that!
wall before you sleep;” he asked me what 1|
should do if I found anything there; I told hi m3
I should go to Dr. Holmes’; he said “don't you|
go there, but go to old Dr Bigelow, in Summer!
ft, and then come and tell me; write your name!
.on my slate, and I shall understand itl did so.g
I then went to Leonard Fuller, and asked him!
io lend me a crow-bar. He asked me what il
wanted to do with it. I told him I wanted toj
dig a hole in a brick wall, to carry a lead pipe!
through the hole for water. He then replied,!
-*I guess you do.” I then went to the house,!
and locked all the outside doors, and lett the!
keys on the inside, so that no one, not even!
Professor Webster, could get in: let down the!
latch of the front door; then told my wile tol
keep watch, and see if anybody came, for I was!
going to work at the wall; told her, if she sawl
Prof. W. come, to give four raps with a hammer*
on the kitchen floor, so that I could hear it be-l
fore she let him in; but it the other Professors!
came, to let them in, but not to disturb me; then!
I got a pair of gloves and went to work at the!
wall; did not make much progress, and finally!
came up and went over to Fuller, and asked for!
a cold-chisel; he gave me just such a one as II
wanted; went back to work, and got along, for]
a short fast, but presently heard fours
raps above; 1 ran up, and my wife said, “I saw!
two gentlemen pass, and thought one ot them]
was Dr. Webster, but they were only Mr. Kings-I
ley and officer Starkweather; they came to the’
door, and inquired for you.” I went out, and]
Mr. Kingsley asked me what private place there]
was in the College that had not been searched.
I told him, and he said, “let me go into hisj
(Webster’s) room.” I replied, those rooms were]
all locked up, and we could nut get into them.]
■They then went away ; do not know which wav:l
El saw officer Trenholme standing in the street,]
land told him that in half an hour or twenty min-j
lutes I would give him the result of my labors.]
land I then went into the house, and my wife?
■said, “you’ve saved your bacon by coming]
■up for Dr. Webster has just now come in.”
| [Objected to by the defence, as incompetent.]
I I didn’t go to work again immediately; didn’t
■see Professor go in, but saw him come out; he
[came out of the shed and spoke to me and Mr.
iTrenholme ; said that an Irishman on the other
■ side of Cambridge bridge offered a §2O bill to pay
[his toll of one cent; he said they hod kept the
■bill, and the City Marshal had asked him ifhe
[had offered that bill; he (the Irishman) had re
plied that he could not swear to it: Webster then
[went off, I returned to my work at the wall, and
[using the crowbar, got a hole clear through in five
[minutes.
j [To the Court] —I had got a small hole punch
led through before I came up: when my wife;
[knocked, there was such a strong draft that L
liike to have lost my light, but I shaded it with my
[hand, and put my head and light through at the
[same time, and the draft stopped; the first thing
[{saw was the pelvis of a maiwnnd the two parts
[of a leg; the water was running down from the
[sink, and I knew that was no place for those
I parts to be; 1 went up stairs and told my wife
[to go for Dr. Bigelow, and to fasten the cellar
[so that no one could go down; my wife spokes
[to me first when I came up.
[ Question by Attorney Gmeral.—What was]
[your own condition when you came up out ofj
[the cellar
j Objected to by the defence —but was sustain-S
fed by the Bench.
I Answer.—l was very much affected; I lock-|
fed the cellar door and went down to Dr. Bige-|
[low’s; the gentleman’s girl came to the door; ljj
[asked for Dr. B.; he was not at home, and Mrs.|
[Bigelow came to the door; I told her I must find!
Dr. Bigelow; she asked “What was the mattery
■with me?” calling me by name; I then rani
[down to young Dr. Bigelow’s, Chauncey place,'!
[and told him what I had discovered; we then|
[went together to 11. G. Shaw’s, Jr; the City;!
[Marshal shortly came in, and I told him what ijj
mad found ; he told me to run right down to the!
[College, and lie would follow on directly; ly
[went to the college, and arrived there before the|
•rest of them: I found Mr. Trenholme at myjj
[house; he (Trenholme) told me that he had beeng
[down to the cellar; the city marshal came in|
[about ten minutes afterwards; did not hear thus
[city marshal’s testimony : the hole was near the!
[north corner of the wall; we could stand up|
[straight near the wall; the ground slanted from!
Hie hole of the privy down to the sea wall.
] [Here the plan of the building was shown to|
[the Jury, and the nature of the ground plan was]
[illustrated.]
I I here examined the foundation of the wallejj
[next the privy, and I do not think any solid Bub-|
[stances could have floated into the vault; there]
Sis cement piled up all round ; the tide flows into]
the privy every day: the vault where the -offal 1
from the dissecting room is thrown was tight,!
[until about two years since, and for that space ofj
time the tide flowed in and out; but there is not|
sufficient space for anything solid to float out; 1]
was in the vault with Mr. Trenholme when we!
heard the steps overhead; I have since found out]
i: hat the noise was made by my wife and children]
running from the cellar overhead; Marshal Tu-jj
key ran up to get his revolver; we then went ups
im the Laboratory, and found the bones in the fur-]
jnace; officer Trenholme was left, in charge of]
the college until after the arrest of Prof. VV.:jj
some time afterwards officer Spurr came to my]
door and said they had Prof. W. out there, and!
that he was very faint; I opened the door and]
[let them in : Prof. W. came in between two men]
who seemed to support him entirely: Webster]
said to me. “Littlefield, they have arrested me]
■and taken me away from my family without al-jj
[lowing me to say good-bye;” he was much a git a-!
ited, and sweat much; I thought he trembled]
[some; we went to the lecture room and we went!
!to the laboratory; the doors were locked and we!
tasked Prof. W. for the keys; lie said they had]
taken him away so suddenly that he didn’t have]
[time to get his keys: the officers broke down the!
[door: we got into the lower laboratory through?
jthe cellar door, the way I always did; Prof. W.h
had left that open: when wo got into his private;
‘room we asked where the key of the little room:
•was; lie (W.) made the same answer that he did]
‘before; the officers asked where the privy keys
[was; Webster said to me “You know where the!
ike-vis:” I told Slim that I did not; then he said!
[“there it is on the shelves.”
We took down the key, and found it would!
inot fit the door; the dcor of the little r6om was|
[broken open: I looked for a hatchet which used]
to be in the room, to break the door open; its
jwas a shining hatchet; I could not find the|
.hatchet at first, and asked Prof. W. where it|
jwas; he replied, “In the sink;” I went down?
land found it there; returned, broke open the|
[door of the little room; we next broke open the|
[privy door, and then went into the laboratory,!
[and"while there he asked for water; I got him]
[a glass, and he took hold of it, but could not!
[drink; he tried to bring it to his mouth,. Lout J
[when he raised it, he began to snap at it like a;J
inad dog; one of the officers told him to let!
him have the water; J gave it to him: the ofli-i
leer took it and gave him some 1o drink, but its
•appeared to choke him very badlv; we went tog
jthe furnace, uncovered it, and took out some|
[of the minerals; Mr. Andrews was there at the!
dime, and 1 think Mr. Parker also; Coroner!
j Pratt said, “Let every tiling be;” and after that|
we went down to the privy, and brought up tiled
‘remains, and put them on a board; Professor!
W. was also brought in; and the rest who were!
.about came in: I heard somebody ask I)r. Gaya
if those were parts of a human body; he re-|
[plied that he thought they were; Professor W.l
was very much agitated, and perspired a greatj
deal; I thought I saw tears running down hisl
cheeks at the time; officer Spurr or Baker, wasi
[left in charge of the Medical College after Prof.i
jW. went away; have seen the slippers now ex-1
jhibited, at the College: there was hiood on oin.-|
of the slippers when I saw them last; never!
[saw the saw now exhibited before the Satu i-i
day after the discovery of the remains: I have!
[seen the knife exhibited, before; Dr. Webster!
showed it to me himself, the Monday before!
jthe disappearance of I)r. Parkman; this was aa
bowie knife which was found; Dr. W. said,!
[when he showed me the knife, “Littlefield, seeg
what a knife I have got.” I looked at it. andl
[he said, “I got it to cut corks with..” I answered,|
• Well, I should think it was just what you want.'’!
The Professor used to wear a pair of blue!
cotton overalls and an old coat, to work in :|
have not seen those overalls since his arrest :S
the last time 1 saw them was when he had!
them on at the time the officers called to search!
the house on Monday or Tuesday 7; the Proses-i
Lor used to have a key to the dissecting room.!
and those to his own department; didn’t know|
[whether he had any others; there was a bunch!
lot* skeleton keys found in the back private!
room. 8
There was some objection raised by the de-s
[fence against the introduction of lliis bunch ot j
[keys in evidence. I
| I know that some towels were found in thel
[privy vault; one diaper roller, and two crash!
[towels were found; but didn't remember hav-|
[ing seen the others before; don’t know whether?
[the roller was marked; never knew any parts!
[ot a human body of any consequence, to be usedl
[by Professor Webster. I
I He has sometimes asked me to get him smali-g
[pieces of flesh to try experiments upon ; have!
[seen him explode bladders of gas in his lecture!
[room, and these make considerable noise; have!
[iieard noise in his lecture room when he was!
[experimenting with this gas or with the galvan-9
[ic battery.
j Samuel Parkman Blake, sworn.—l am as
[nephew of the late Dr. Parkman. I took an|
[active part in the search for him, devoting my!
[whole time to it. 1 called on Dr. \\ ebstei at|
[the College. The janitor tried his lecture room?
[dcor and could not get in. He then took inyl
[name, and went down by the laboratory, to Dr.l
[Webster. After waiting what I thought an un-2
[reasonable time, he came to the lecture room]
■door inside and then unbolted it. Going downjj
■the steps I saw Dr. Webster coming up out ofj
[his back study with a smoking cap on, and a]
■sort of working dress. I told him I had called]
[to get the particulars of his interview with Dr.j
[Parkman on Friday, before his disappearance!
[lDr. Webster said Parkman called on him onj
| Fuesday, before he got through with his lecture,!
land in a very excited and angry manner asked!
[for some money, saying, “Doctor, you have
[some §SOO in your pocket which I ought to
[have.” He told Parkman he could not pay
[him; had not finished collecting his money ton
[tickets. I then asked him when Dr. Parkman]
[last came to him. He said on Friday. On that
dny, in coming into the city 7 in the morning, he;
called at the Doctor’s house and told him that if
he would come to him that day, after his lecture,
he would pay him. He did, and at about 11
o’clock, and he paid him. It was after his stu
dents had gone from the lecture. When Park
man came in he stepped up to his table and
asked him ifhe was ready tor him; he said he
was; he (Dr. Parkman) then took out a bundle
of papers from his side pocket, and from them a
bundle of notes: he then paid him §483 and some’
cents; he received the money without counting]
it, and was going off; Dr. Webster then told]
him he had forgotten the mortgage; he said he]
had not that with him, but he would see to it ;I
lie then went out, carrying the bills exposed to]
view in his hand. I asked him about the money,?
as it must lead to a discovery. He could notj
remember but one bill, a bill of §IOO, on the New]
England bank. They were of various denom-]
illations. Dropping his face in a way which;
made an impression upon me at the time, I ask-j
ed him if any one else was present at the inter-!
view, and he said emphatically not. We then!
Sturned the subject; have had a long acquaint-!
jance with the Doctor; I noticed, on entering the?
[lecture room, that there was a lack of cordiality £
[his manner was stiff and formal. When hejj
[spoke of Dr. Parkman, there was a want of
[sympathy which struck me. Every one else]
(was expressing a great deal of sympathy. He]
[made no such expression. lie seemed to anti-!
[cipate my inquiries. He made no inquiries about’
jthe search of the family. The interview lasted]
[ten or fifteen minutes. There was a change of?
[position while we were speaking of Parkman.!
(After that we spoke of general subjects, and the?
[Doctor took his seat on the settee. The Doctor!
[bolted the door after me; I judged so because It
[heard the bolt slide, and there was no one elsej
[in the room.
Seth Porter and John B. Dana, bank officers,]
[testified to many money transactions of Dr.[
Webster, which is merely corroborative evi-r
deuce, but went far to prove that Webster could*
not have had the money which he said he pnid[
Parkman. This fact sent a shudder through the]
court room.
Boston, Tuesday, March 26, evening, f
j Tilings begin to look dark for the prisoner this 7
[morning, and the hopes of the public that bet
[will be acquitted have almost expired since yes-?
[terday afternoon. The developments in regard]
[to Dr. Webster’s pecuniary transactions, show- 7
ing that he could not have had the money which]
he said he had at the time he alleges he paid]
Dr. Parkman, is the darkest and most damning]
feature in the case. The prisoner was brought]
in five minutes before 9 o’clock, looking much!
brighter than lie did last night, under the cloud]
of evidence and the howling of the mob out-]
side.
| Charles B. Starkweather, police officer, was]
[next sworn. He gave a full account of the]
[searches through the College and the manner of j
[Dr. Webster’s arrest. When first taken to jail]
[he was the first man who spoke. He said tol
[Mr. Clapp, “What does this mean ?” Mr. Clapp]
[said, “Doctor Webster, we have done lookings
[for Dr. Parkman—you are now in custody for]
[his murder.” Dr. Webster said, “What, me!”
j“Yes, you are in custody for the murder of Dr.f
[Parkman.” Mr. Clapp made a mittimus and]
[gave it to me, but 1 was not to commit the Doe-|
[tor until they came back. Messrs. Clapp aiuL
ppuor went away to find Mr. S. D. Parker. After!
[they went out Dr. Webster asked me for some]
[water, and drank several times. He asked if]
(they had found Dr. Parkman. I told him l]
[wished he would ask no questions which it was*
[improper for me to answer. He said I might?
[tell him something about it. When didp
[they find him? he asked. Did they find the]
•whole of the body ? How could they suspect!
Sine ? O, my children, what will they do ! O.P
what will they think of me ? Where did you!
[get the information .- i asked the Doctor then.,’
jif anybody had access to his private apartments?
but himself. He answered nobody has access top
[my private apartments but the porter who makesjjj
the fire. There was a pause then of perhaps a|
[minute and a half; he then said “villain that Ijj
am—a ruined man.” ]
He walked the floor, wrung his hands, then satp
down. The Doctor put his hands to his vest!
pockets and then to his mouth; a spasm camel
jverhim: I put my hand on his, and said, Dr.g
Webster, have you been taking anything? lle|
said he had not; I then helped him up and ht-|
walked the floor; I was with the Doctor about!
an hour. Mr. Clapp came came back and told|
me to commit the Doctor; I then told the Doc-1
tor I must commit him; he could not stand: Is
called to Mr. r Cum:nines to assist fne: we then!
ed him to the lock-up; I told Mr. Cummines
that I thought Dr. Webster had been taking
something, and thought it best to send fir a phy-|
-ieian ; Mr. Clapp thought it not best, unless he!
should be woise; we laid him upon a bed on hisy
side, and he turned over on his face; I never!
saw a man in such a state before.
Nathaniel D. Swain, sworn.—l am an express!
man between Cambridge and Boston : been ins
the habit of carrying things for Prof. Webster ;[
kluring the week after Friday, Nov. 23, I remem-J
her bringing in two bundles, whichl call faggots,!
cuttings of grape vines, from his house; it wasl
Monday, the 2fitli: I brought in also a box and a|
bag of tan; the box was about a foot and a halt's
square, like a soap box; brought them from I)r.®
Webster's house in Cambridge; Dr. W. directed!
me to leave them in Mr. Littlefield’s cellar, and|
said to me, I will take them into the laboratory.!
He never gave me such directions before; I had!
[carried things to the Medical College perhaps?
two hundred times before that; I always previ-i
ously left* them in the laboratory below or above
ll usually found a key in Mr. Littlefield’s kitch-’j
|en, with which I unlocked the door; this time|
jl thought I had perhaps misunderstood the Pro A
lessor, and would set the things into the labora
tory : I tried the door, but found it locked : then It
went into the kitchen to get the key, and could]
net get it ; found both doors of the laboratory!
locked. On Monday, Nov. 28, I went there)
attain; carried two boxes, the largest about twoj
and a half feet high and one and a half wide,
one 10 inches deep, the other one and a half feet]
square. The large one was empty, the other
had something in it. I left them when I left on
Monday in Littlefield’s cellar. There was a piece
split off the cover, and I saw inside a checked
handkerchief. I saw there the box and the grapi -;
vines I carried on Monday, but not the tan. 1
{went to the College after the arrest of Professor
[Webster, for the boxes. It was Saturday or
[Monday. I found only the small box that had
{the clothing in it. It was marked with red chalk,
J. W. Webster; the boxes were of pine.
{ The National Force of the United States,
including sailing and steam vessels of all sizes
in and out of commission, consists of 75 ves
sels, mounting 2,048 guns. The naval force ot|
England in commission consists of 01 sailing!
vessels, mounting 2,018 guns, and 78 steamers of.
16,626 horse power. Reserved force, 36 sail
ling vessels, ships of the line and frigates, and
43 steamers. The French navy consists of 55
sailing vessels in commission, mounting 2.100
guns, and 64 steamers of 12.870 horse power.
Reserved force, 25 line of battle ships and 22
steamers. The Russian navy is next to that ofj
France, and close upon it in strength ; that of
Austria ranks next, and the navies of Turkey
and Denmark follow.
The navy of Spain, once the most formida
ble on the ocean, is now reduced to 55 vessels,
of which but two are ships of the line, the whole
[mounting only 721 guns. It will be seen that
[the navies of England and France are almost
•nearly balanced, England only having the bal
lance in the larger number of steam vessels, a
[fact which proves her readier appreciation of a|
[steam navy than any other nation. Consider-!
ling the commercial “and territorial position of|
[the United States, our steam navy is totally in-j
[adequate to our wants and means.

Remarks on the Market.
1 COTTON—Our last report closed upon a dull mar
rket, as rainy weather, and advices of a larger decline in
Rthc Liverpool market than was announced by the first
■telegraphic despatches, had nearly put a stop to the op-
Eerations of purchasers. On Wednesday some few buy
gers again came forward, and about 4000 bales were ta
|ken, at rather easier prices, at least in some instances.
g'J’his amount, however, includes one list of about 700
■bales, closed for late on Tuesday, and not then report
led. On Thursday the inquiry was more active, and
Pabout 4800 bales were taken at firmer prices, though
|without any advance. Yesterday there was again some
■demand, but it being Good Friday, and the Banks clos-
Ped, and also the supply offering at the current rates
■being moderate, the transactions were confined to about!
§3,200 bale 3 —making a total for the past three days ofj
§12.000 bales, and for the week, 21,400 bales, taken mo. t-j
lly for England and the Continent, with some lew par-j
Bcels for the North. We have no marked change to
■notice in the rates, though we may observe that factors.
Bare firm ai our figures, and supply the market sparing-]
Sly, the rapid falling off in the receipts giving them eou-j
Slid once in the sustainment of prices. The demand hast
inui principally on Middling to Good Middling, the bet
iter grades being in comparatively little request, though
sheld firmly.
§ Charleston Cotton Market, April Ist. j
§ Tlie Cotton Market has been quiet since our report ofj
■the morning of the 29th ult. Friday was particularly]
■observed as a holiday, and the prevalence of a rain-1
g.-torin throughout the whole of Saturday, materially in-j
eteifered with business, besides which, holders generally!
| were asking higher prices, and this circumstance also
Iliad a strong influence over the market in checking op-j
ierations. and hence the limited transactions of these twoS
Idavs. The safes were 1111 bales, as follows: 17 bales!
Bat 101: 78 at 104; 74 at 11; 233 at 114; 144 at 111 :
|lOl at 111 ; 390 at lli; and 165 bales at 12c. The.’

REVIEW OF THE MARKET.—REMARKS.
! The general business of the city during the
past week has exhibited rather languid features.
The grocery and provision market has been
[quite dull for the season, and will hardly regain
gits activity until the majority of the planters get
| their crops planted. An early closing of the bu-j
Isiness season is anticipated in consequence ofj
|the short crop of cotton. The unfavorable news
■by telegraph, per Niagara, produced no sensible
§ effect on the price, or sales of cotton in ouij
■market; which exhibits clearly the confidence of
■holders in ruling rates, and even that higher
■figures will be reached before the first of June.
■The weekly receipts are rapidly falling off, and it j
lis now doubtful whether our receipts at this port!
I will reach 325,000 hales. Our rivers contin-|
gue in fine order. We have had several cold days]
■for sying, and were visited on Wednesday night]
| with a frost sufficiently severe to injure vegeta-
Stion, destroy our fruit prospects, and kill all the
[corn and cotton, which was up, in the country.
COTTON.—Our last report left the market
[very firm, the sales of the week being 11,500
bales, the price of middling being fully 10 1.2 cts.j
Saturday was a dull, quiet day, the firmness of!
holders, combined with a general disposition tel
await later foreign advices, restricted the tram:-]
actions to some 800 bales, without change in
prices. On Monday, telegraphic dispatches
placed us in possession of Liverpool dates to the
9th ult., announcing a decline there of 1-8 a
l-ld. on all descriptions below fair* These ad
vices had little effect on our market, the very
small quantity on sale, combined with the firm
stand maintained by factors, compelled buyers to]
accede to the prices named; the sales, however,!
wore only 1200 bales, and only in a few instances!
were any concessions made. The demand on]
Tuesday was again restricted to 1000 bales-hohl
ers quite firm and 10 3-4 cents was the ruling
rate for middling. On Wednesday quite an an
imated, and rather unexpected, demand sprung
up, resulting in sales of 4500 bales, the early pur
chases of the day being at former prices, but to
wards the close rather fuller rates were establish-!
ed, middling closing at 10 7-8 cents, and general
ly 11 cents was asked. Thursday was very dull,
the advance rates demanded by holders com
pelled buyers to withdraw, and only 1000 bales
were sold—middling being 10 7-8 cents. Yes-
Jterday (Friday) there was almost an entire ces
sation of business, the sales did not exceed 500
bales and the market closed quite flat at 10 7-8
cents for middling. The total sales of the week
are 9000 bales, taken chiefly for England, a very
moderate portion being for France, Spain, and
our Northern Markets. The receipts this week
amount to 4,458 bales, and exports to 10,759
bales—leaving the stock on hand and on ship
board not cleared, 106,301 bales. Total receipts
of the season up to - date, 297,340 bales, against
459,288 bales same time last year.
