AUGUSTA DISPATCH OFFICE, )
October 7, 1858. f
COTTON.—Our market opened ou Friiay las 1
with a good demand, which continued up to
Tuesday, at gradually stiirening prices, when
buyers, finding that they could not get off their
purchases, in consequence of the scarcity of
shipping in Charleston and Savannah, in a meas
ure withdrew from the market ou Wednesday,
and holders, to effect sales, were compelled, on
that day, to submit to a reduction of ),£©%':. ou
all qualities, from prices previously current.
Yesterday (Thursday) the same feeling prevail
ed, and as the receipts were heavy, to effect
sales factors had to make a still further conces
sion of about >*e., at which decline some 621
bales changed hands, at prices ranging from ;
11 to 12)£ —making the total decline from tlic
highest point reached during the week full %c.
We think, however, the market has reached its :
lowo-t point, under the favorable Europeau news
recently received—that as soon as our merchants
can find conveyance for their purchases from
I Charleston or Savannah, that prices will rally.
] The receipts at til's point are largely ou the in- j
J crease, and most of that coming to hand is or
dered to be sold on arrival. We omit our regu
lar quotations this week, but would remark that
at the close of business yesterday (Thursday),
the highest price that could be obtained for Mid
dling Fair wa 12, and for Good Middling 11 %c.
The market this (Friday) morning was quiet,
and price', iflany thing, a little easier than they
were yesterday. The sales reported to us sum
up 7.0 bales—-18 at 11) 8 ;64 at 11)6 ; 276 at
11 ; and 432 at 12 cents, Receipts 2091 bales.

j GENERAL REM ARKS.—Trade in all its vari
• (yes branches continues to improve. Cotton, the !
! great lever, is coming in fr elv, and is sold on ;
j arrival at good renumerating prices. A number j
i of interior and Tennessee merchants have been j
j down this week and purchased liberally. The j
; wholesale business iu the Dry Goo 's line is on the .
! increase, and good and well assorted stocks can j
! now be purchased in thi-. city, and allow figures - ;
i In the Grocery line trade is flourishing, our Mer- j
j chants, generally prepared themselves for a
| heavy Fall Trade, and from present appearance* j
j they will not be disappointc 1. Augusta is an |
excellent Grocery market, and her merchants |
business men.
WHEAT.—The demand for this article is con j
' fined to Miller’s wants, and as they have a good !
supply on baud, they are i. fib-ring iower rates. ,
Good Red and White, are scarce and iu demand
at our outside figures, but the bulk of both de
scriptions now coming to hand is of inferior i
quality. We quote Red from 80 to $1.06, and]
White from 95 to 51.15 according to quality.
FLOUR.—The demand is limited, and prices |
are easier, particularly for Country. See quota- i
tions.
CORN.—The st ck ou hand is light, but the de
mand is limited o home wants, which are sup
plied sparingly. We have heard of the sale this
week of a lot of 400 sacks good White, at 08
cents. Most holders, however, refuse to sell un
der 70 cents, sacks included. We quote 70 to 75
' cents—the latter price from stores in small lots.
BACON. - -There is a good stock on hand, with
but a moderate demand. There is a better en
quiry for good joint Tennessee meat, Shoulders j
and Hams. We contiuuo to quote, nominally.
Shoulders
Tennessee 10, Tennessee Clear Sides 10/2)10 )£, [
Hams Tennessee and canvassed 10/2)10)4- A!
large lot of either description, could be purchased
under our figures.
LARD.— Sjpply fully equal to demand. In ’
barrels it is worth and in cans and kegs
12,-4©13 cents.
BAGGING.—There is a fair stock on hand,
and our grocers are general I>* supplied, and
coutinue to fill the orders of customers, iu small
lots, at 16 y r for light and 17 cts for heavy Gun- :
ny.
ROPE—Good stock on hand. Hand-made Ken
tucky is selling at B>£©9, and Machine at 9>£ '
©lO cents.
COFFEE.—Fair stock on hand, and well di
vided out between our grocers, who are stiff in
their asking rates, in consequence of an advance
in the Northern markets. Rio is selling at 11 )£,
12, and 12)£ cents, according to quantity and j
quality.
FEATHERS.—Stock light—demand limited.—
Held at 35 cents.
SUGARS.—The stock on hand has been in
creased by receipts, but holders are firm in the
asking prices. Wo quote New Orleans 9©10)4,

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
Hon. S. E. Church. Comptroller, &c .—Dear Sir : Agreeably to your reque.-t, I have exam
ined, I believe critically and lully, the affairs, condition amt assets of the Great Western Insurance
and Trust Company. I lmveseen and inspected not only their Books, which are well kept, but
the Assets under the heads of Cash on band, Bills Receivable, and Stock Notes, nd feel perpectly
safe in reporting *o you that the four items or “Cash on hand and in the hands of Agents,” ‘Un
settled Premiums,” ‘ • Bills Receivable,” and “Stock Notes,” amounting to $93,868 ar good
and available to the Company for that amount, or nearly that amount. I have taken some pains
! to ascertain the value of Stocks held by the Company, having visited the several Companies and
i conversed fully and freely with their respective officers
i The building belonging to the Company, on the torner of Walnut and Fourth streets, is a very
fine free stone building, well built, and admirably
■ business purposes in Philadelphia. I have'ailed upon the gentlemen who built it and sold it to
j the Company, who informe,l me that it cost him over $70,060 cash. I think this property would
; be a good investment at $75,000.
The Real Estate Mortgages contained in the statement of the Company, are all rood for the
amount stated, ami cover property worth at least fifty per cent, more than the amount for which
they are mortgaged.
From this statement, it will he seen that this Company should receive your Certificate. 1 de
sire to add that the • ompany seems to be intelligently and prudently managed, and I find that it
enjoys the full confidence of the business men of Philadelphia.
