Opfice Daily Press, ) Augusta, Ga., Nov. 1,1866. J REMARKS. Since our last weekly report, business has not maintained the same activity that then existed; but has gradually become quieter, though there has been a moderate trade during the week closing to- day. >V e have carefully compiled the following Prices Current of the City of Augusta, and would merely remark that, as they are based on actual transac tions, you need have no hesitancy in being guided by them. It should be borne in tnind that our quo tations represent wholesale prices. Small bills, to Planters and others, are filled at a shade higher rates, FINANCIAL. Our Cotton Factors have had several heavy re ceipts of currency from divers points daring this week. This caused »n ease in negotiations sot the trade, and paucity of money seems to be supplied pro tem. But this is only a drop in the bucket; and these times of supplies, and then of insuffi ciency, must continue until we have more banking capital at home. There is little, if any, demand for Stocks and Bonds. Our banks check for Exchange at par, and buy at \$&)& per cent, discount. Out-door rates, to off; for thirty days, I>&@2; sixty days, discount. Coiu is about in statu quo; the demand is very limited. When we close our report, the following are Broker’s rates: \ Gold, buying 147 Gold, selling 149 Silver, buying 140 Silver, selling .145 PROVISIONS. BACON.—The market is about stationary. The stock continues light, especially of Shoulders and Sides, and the demand is excellent; prices are stiff, with an upward tendency. Hams are not much in request, and remain unaltered in jjrice. Inferior classes of Bacon have almost disappeared from the market. BUTTER.—Quotations are unchanged, but firm. Stock good, and frequent inquiry. CHEESE.—The demand has improved, and stocks have increased. Prices continue steady at; State, 18®20c. per lb.; Factory, 25®56c.; English Dairy, 26®28c. * ' FLOUR.—'The stock of Flour now on sale in this market is extremely limited, and quotations for Western are but nominal. The supply of choice brands is exceedingly light, while the de mand is constantly increasing. Our City Mills, although busily engaged in grinding, find them selves unable to fill the many orders that are crowding in upon them; and although there is no change in prices to note, we have no doubt that before we communicate with you again, prices will have again advanced. BUCKWHEAT—Has made its appearance in market, but the stock is as vet but light,with a good demand. We refer you to quotations on next page. SUGAR AND MOLASSES.—The former is stiff; prices have not been materially altered. The re quest is excellent; stock fair. A prime article of Molasses is scarce, and often asked for. LAUD.—The stock is fair; prices remain steady at: Prime Leaf (inbarrels), 23@24c. per lb.; in kegs, 25®26c.; Pressed, 22®23c. POTATOES.—The supply of both kinds are heavy; prices easier. GRAIN. . CORN—Has continued to advance since the close of last week’s report, and has still an upward ten dency. - The demand is excellent and stocks very light. A prime article of White Corn brings $1 76 readily; White Corn, $1 70; Prime Yellow, $1 70; Yellow, $1 65; Western Mixed, $1 60@1 65. OATS—Have again advanced, and stocks arc light, with good demand. Prices range from $1 00 to 1 10 per bushel. HAY—Continues as before, at $2 30 for Eastern, and $2 25for Northern. WHEAT—Is exceedingly scarce: and although quotations are given at $2 75®3 00 per bushel, still a strictly choice article of White would readily command $3 50. SUNDRIES. DRY GOODS.—The demand for all classes of fall and winter Goods has been exceedingly brisk, and the week just closed has been one of bustling activity to our leading Dry Goods houses. Prices remain stiff at figures given on next page. FERTILIZERS.—Guano is very scarce, and in good demand, at prices on next page. DRIED FRUIT.—Stock more than adequate to the inquiry; prices steady. We quote: Apples, $1 75®2 00; and Peaches, $3 50®5 00. BAGGING AND ROPE.—There is a regular de mand for these articles as trade requires their use, but not a heavy one. Prices firm STARCH.—Good supply and fair inquiry. Prices range: Pure, 13@l-ic. per lb.; Silver Gloss, 15® 16c. TOBACCO.—Stocks very light; demand good for common sound aud medium grades. DOMESTICS.—The Augusta Factory have not altered the prices of their goods since last week. 7-8 Sheeting brings 19®19)£c.; 4-4 Shirting, 22® 22 % ; 7-8 Drills, 23®23J£. Other mills are also un changed. The demand is. increasing, «$£ th§ Fac tory is busy endeavoring to fill orders. COTTON. In concluding our weekly remarks on the state of the market in this city, we will endeavor to sum up. in a concise manner, the different phases which have been presented as bearing on Cotton, the prime staple of commerce. On Friday the market continued dull, and showed a declining tendency; a moderate busi ness was done. * On Saturday the market was promiscuous, a better feeling prevailing before noon than after. On Monday, although the day was so rainy and muddy as to almost preclude other business trans actions, Cotton revived in a general way, and sales were effected at full figures, 34c. as a basis for Middling. Tuesday morning there was quite a fair demand, but toward evening the interest slacked off. Yesterday there was a fair demand, hut the mar ket was unsettled. At the close of our last report, the market had a downward tendency; since then it bas gradually stiffened, and we are enabled to quote a cent advance of last week’s figures. Holders continue firm, and many are waiting an advance before they sell. The frost lay thick on the ground early this morning. This frost will, in all probability, finish up the Cotton that has been spared the lighter frosts of last week. In glancing over the columns of the various country papers, we see that they estimate the present crop at 1,500,(XX) bales. Tho sales from the Ist September amount to 11,130 bales. The receipts for the same period sum up 12,244 bales. The market opened this morning at the following figures: Middling 34 a 84 >4 Strict Middling 35 a 35 Good Middling 36 a 37 We take the following from William Bryce & Co.’s Weekly Cotton Circular, dated New York, October 26: Our own market for the week has been dull, and a decline has taken place from the extreme point to which speculators forced prices, based on the disastrous crop accounts of last month. A reaction from that point was inevitable, as shippers were debarred from purchasing. Liverpool not having risen in proportion witn ourseites. At about present prices there is a margin for shipment, and exporters will-take hold freely, and give us an active market, and prevent any undue accumulation of stock at this point. The demand here has been lim ited during tho week, and beyond the usual preference for Middlings, we have only to note a. rather improved inquiry for goo l Ordinary Cottons for shipment. There has been sojno little movement in .Sea Islands and extra sta pled Cottons, prices varying according to fine ness of quality, length of staple, etc Fine grades of Sea Island have sold for 1133, while common grades vary from 50 to 70c. Spinners have purchased to a Kmited extent, the bulk of the sales being, however, to exporters. Some of our manufacturing companies, which use water power, are seriously inconvenienced by the lowness of the streams. The following is an interesting fact in rela tion to American Cotton j The proportion ol Atnerioan Cotton to all consumed in Europe, for a period of twenty years before the late war, was, in weight, 84>£ per cent.; at present it amounts to a little more than 40 per cent. These figures are from one of the most accu rate statisticians of the country. Notice will be taken that this proportion is not in bales, but in weight. If the consumption of Cotton in Europe continues at present rates, and everything at present points in that direction, Europe will want more of our Cotton than we will be able to supply. Crop Prospects and General Remarks.—Re ports from the Cotton Slates during the week have been uniformly favorable. line weather had continued, and picking was being pushed forward with the utmost energy. The receipts had been heavier than last week, but l yet very light in comparison with past years. For ■the week’ ending the 19th Inst., not a single bale was exported to Europe from any South ern port, almost all the shipments being to this city—a not surprising fact, as New York is bound to be the great Cotton mart of the United States, while it possesses \ its steam commerce, wealth, and cable communication with Europe. At all the ports the receipts are far behind last year, when up to" this time 275,000 bales had been received; while up to date the receipts do not foot up much over’ 100,000 bales. The fact of all the energ es of the. planters being devoted to picking, at & resent, partially explains this difference, but le amount to come forward will be at least 33>£ per cent*, less. The restrictions of tho 'J reasury Department in relation to the pay ment of taxes have also worked against our receipts, but we are happy to state that such changes have this week been made by the Honorable Secretary that Cotton can bo sent to tho seaboard without serious delay; the planter filing a bond with the Collector of his District to produce evidence within a given time that the . tax on the Cotton has been paid by his factor or consignee. The character ot the new Cotton thus far received continues to be unsatisfactory, and a marked difference in price is made for well-handled lots.
