to&JOg WEDyESDAY.~SEPTV.MBEB 15. 157.~ grangers in council! The Grangers can beat any set of people in the world in getting up a good old Southern jollification, where formality is entirely dispensed with and each man, woman and child lend their might to the enjoyment of the occasion. Such was the case at Rosnev Chapel yesterday, where a large crowd of Grangers and others, among them quite a number of citizens of Augusta, had assembled agreeably to an invitation from the Grangers of Richmond county, to hear some distin guished orators, and indulge in an old time barbecue, which was really very fine. About llo’clcck, after some prelim inaries, Dr. Griffin announced the first speaker, GENERAL A. H. COLQUITT. We cannot, for want of space, give the remarks of any of the speakers in full, and therefore a short synopsis we are sorry to say, is all we furnish. Gen. Colquitt said he was a true advocate of economy, from ladies as well as as from the men, and that only would suffice to relieve the present deplorable condition of our farmers, which, with the assistance of the Patrons of Hus bandry, and direct trade would, if pur sued, make the farmers of the South independent in a few years. It was a humiliating spectacle to see a farmer, whiningly asking credit and assistance just after the crop harvest, and by the 15th of January, from his merchant. He showed how such could be avoided in eloquent terms, and with convincing proofs. Next he touched on di rect trade. He said it had been the aim of others, years ago, to establish direct trade, but for want of concert and inaction they failed. Conventions would be and were held at Galveston, Mobile, New Or leans, Charleston, Augusta, and many other places, by advocates of the di- rect trade, but they failed, and why ? The day had not come. They did not have the assistance of this powerful army of Grangers, and co-operation was wanting. What is direct trade? It is to bring the producer and buyer in contact with one another without the interference of a third party. Some merchants are not in ac cord with us, because they know nothing of our aims, and they fail to look into it It is the very first princi ples of prosperity. Merchats say we cannot do what we propose, that New York has the money to command trade, while we are poor, but we have and can get all the money we want. The most legitimate channel of trade is the direct channel. Charleston used to do as much of this business as all the New England States put together. It must be re-established with our South ern ports. Georgia has 40,000; Ala bama, 40,000; Mississippi, 50,000, and Texas, 40,000 Grangers to support this mavoment now, and all the other States have in like proportion. General Colquitt continued for about an hour and a half to thoroughly dis cuss the question in an able and elabo rate manner, and we are sorry we have not space for his remarks in full. 00L. JACK SMITH, Master of the State Grange, was next introduced, and he, for about an hour, dwelt on the Grangers’ objects and direct trade, and his arguments were complete and convincing, as were those of COL. JONES, of Burke county, who advanced as re plete and convincing arguments as we have heard on the subject. Col. Jones is thoroughly posted, and we regret we are unable to give his address. After Col. Jones’ address dinner was announced and a large table literally covered with substantiate and dainties, invitingly smiled on the hungry crowd. After fully discussing this question, in the usual style, the crowd re-as sembled and after a song by the ladies who by the way were out in large numbers splendidly attractive, and acting as an inspiration causing by their patronage of the great questions at issue quite an enthusiasm, After a song by them COL. AIKEN, of Aiken, S. C., was introduced, and a more logical, elaborate and thoroughly practical speech we have not heard for many a day. Alluding to what had been said about Grangers and Direct Trade, the speaker said that he would explain to them what the Gran gers were and the objects sought to be attained. What are the Grangers ? Many have the idea that they are the co-operatives of the selling man. The Grange is a social institution, in a few simple words. The farmers are the most selfish and miserable class of men on the earth in their isolation, at least in the South. The Grange is the remedy. It makes the farmer take an opportunity, at least once a month, for social intercourse. It is an organ for the matual benefit of its members. It brings them together,and educates them in agriculturai lore. It educates the '•armei and his family, and that’s our our °»iect. TheGrangers in their intercourse od toate each other, and sociability is also ittained, and this, and simply this, is our ->bject. It is just like holding steel in uje hand and flint In the other. Apart tLey amount to nothing; bring them logether and the influence is powerful. Tbe isolation so preva lent among our farmers must be rem edied, and this th* Grange will do, and also keep Its members posted and fa miliar with all the late improvements in the agricultural department. He was sorry to say that a vast number of the farmers could not read or write their own names, and the Grange would educate them practically, also their families, The speaker also fully dis« U ssed di rect trade, and conclusively showed its great advantages, and in petail he tra versed the agricultural departments in aU its bearings in a practical style and if hs advice is followed much good will result. . . . ° HON. M. C. FULTON also discussed the questions in a brief but able manner. After which the meeting adjourned. Much enthusiasm was manifested and a great deal of good will no doubt ensue. The farmers are now thoroughly aroused to the subject and the Grangers are continu ally increasing in large number, and yesterday’s proceedings will add many more to the ranks, FINANCE AND TRADE. WEEKLY review op the AU GUSTA MARKETS. Constitutionalist Office, ) 6 o clock P. M., September 10,1875.) Remarks. As anticipated trade has a steady and substantial improvement, and although it is not as heavy as for the same period last year, it denotes a healthier state of affairs than it would if business was heavier. One to state, is very evident, ana that is that no shallow or unsound ac tivity is prevalent, and the business now done is on a sound and protective basis, both for the merchant and the consumer, and it is better to have it so in preference to a forced activity, which would be bound to have an early reaction, and that reaction would not only demoralize business, but its premature development and forced life would work the same unstable and unsound condition of thing's that existed last year, and merchants are determined this year not to force trade, but to al low it to gradually unfold itself as the necessities of home consumption de mand, and thus it rests on a solid founda tion, and whatever Is done can be relied on as an infallible Index to the future; but to wiser sages than we must be left to say what the future will be. But one thing may be relied on, and that is, that pros perity which we have not known for a number of years will undoubtedly be the fruit of the cautious and safe business which has inaugurated this promising sea son. The undertone in business circles sub stantiates this, and it can be relied on as a symptom of a healthy situation and a sure sign of a prosperous future; and here again would we suggest the continued economy which has been the prevail ing mark of this season so far,* and the present state of things compared with the past, proves the need of such. In the West at present everything is hopeful, save for the late floods, and the principal reason is, because of that economical line of policy which has so far characterized us, and Western merchants are determined to pursue a safe business, and not force trade, and of the results they have not the slightest doubt. The East is perfectly prostrated on account of its capital being principally in vested in manufactories, and tney look to the South and West for help, and are only kept from despair by the encouraging re ports from the agricultural States whither .they hope to gain assistance. The North feels somewhat the dis tresses of the East, but are not in such a bad condition. New York merchants pursue that safe Hue of policy inaugurated South and West, and they have no apprehensions of the future, as they are determined to let trade work out its own course and do no haphazard business. All that now remains to insure a complete and prosperous future is for mer chants and consumers to pursue the path in which they now tread, and they need have no fear of the consequences. Nothing has been doing in flnancial cir cles the past week, and no demand for money. Exchange was a little active. The meat niarket has been firm all the week, and prices remained unchanged until to-day, when a slight decline took place, ihe change i»av be accounted for by tne fact that speculators have had control of the market lathe West for the past few days. The Cpciunati Price Current says: Cincinnati Provision Market. The market has been somewhat variable during the week. under the attempted ma nipulations cl the bulls and bears for the purpose of paking a basis for the settle ment of coetracts maturing in August, more especially for clear rib sides, but since the close of ~the month the market has as sumed a stnpnger tone under a better de mand for slip went. Ihe foreign exports from the seaboard ports for the week end ing last Saturday were largely in excess of tne corresponding week last year, the gain being chiefly In cut meats, but considerable in other art cies, with holders generally be lieving that stooks here are not excessive, and with fill two months and possibly three montls to run on consumption of old stock, tlure is considerable confidence m values, anl it is evident that if there is to be anything more than a spasmodic or temporary define it will be late in the sea son before it occurs. The high price and scarcity of fd; hogs is a strong support to the market, tod the indications from the country are tiat the corn crop will ripen late, but it wll be abundant, and with a scarcity of sock hogs it wifi be only a natural result that the hogs wifi be kept back until the; are very fat, and therefore packing wifi ojen late. The market closes strong but wit.out much activity. The Hour narket remains unchanged. Wheat is acuvt Corn is dull and Oats are firm. Tobacct is unchanged, Sugar is dull with no chnges. Syrups dull. The Pry Goods maitct is a shade more active, and fight fall stocks continue to arrive. Fancy and attictive articles are much sought after ad they will be the prin cipal features t the trade. The season will be late, ant for some time yet wifi not fully open. "financial. Very little isloing in financial circles. N 0 only being in demand at all.

Em-The causes that have favorably Influenced our market this week have been a rapid reduction of the stock here; an error of 23,000 bales In the London etock-Nvhleh on being counted on Wednesday last turned out that much less than estimated—and the tenor of the Wash ington Bureau’s report on the condition of the crop. On the other hand, our market has been unfavorably Influenced by. the protraction of the look-out at Oldham, the downward tendency of futures at New York, less activity at Manchester than was hopod for, and 'tho rebellion in European Turkey. The stock here now amounts to 887,190 bales, against 910,230 at this date last year, and there are afloat for this port from America, India, Brazil, etc,, 22,400 less than last year. The stock in and afloat for Lon don is 45,730 bales less than last year. The error of 23,000 bales in the London Stock we have addod to the deliveries of the trade this week, but it should be distributed over the thirty-two weeks of this year. We thus make the stock held by English spinners to be now only 62,000 bales less than last year. It will thus be seen the actual sup ply of cotton in and afloat for Great Britain Is nowfabout 143,000 bales less than one year ago. The lock-out at Oldham continues and the general impression now is will not close until after the wake—a parish festival—the last week in this month. This lock-out over, we may then expect a larger trade demand, particularly for the lower grades of American cotton, which are mostly used in the Oldham district. This lock-out has had, and still has, a strengthening influence on the Manchester market, and hence there Is reason to doubt whether or not the ef fect has on the whole been to depress our market for co, ton. The rebellion.of Herzegovina, a'province of European Turkey, has this week attract ed a good deal of attention. By some it is is feared the rebellion may spread to ad joining provinces, and possibly precipitate tne breaking up of the Ottoman i mpire and plunge Europe into a mighty war.— Certain it is that this led to a downright panic on the London and several of the Continental Stock Exchanges on the 18th and 19th Inst., particularly in Turkish and Egyptian stocks, but our advices to-day in dicate that the excitement is subsiding, due, we suppose, to telegrams from the Continent, which report that “the three powers (Russia, Prussia and Austria) are agreed that the Eastern question shall not be raised,” etc. The stock of cotton held by English spinners we now estimate at 90,000 bales, against 142 000 last year, and 156,000 the year before at same date. The Manchester market this week has been inactive, but prices romain very steady. The amount of business doing is sufficiently large to strengthen the hands of producers, who therefore show no incli nation to invite an increased business by making any concession in price. We now quote 8% lb. shirtings, 7s. 3da9s. per piece. No. 40 mule yarn ll%d„ ll%d. and 13%d. for common good and best seconds, 32’s twist 11a12%d. per lb.
