Augnsta Market, December 27—P. M.
COTTON.—Our market remains much iu the same
condition as noticed yesterday, with limited sales.—
Holders continue to offer their stocks very sparingly,
even of the lower grades. We understand 7jaud7|
were offered to-day and yesterday for a lot of Hood
Middling, and was refused.
SAVANNAH, Dec. 2*s.— Cotton. —Arrived since the
18th inst.. 11.580 bales Upland. (8.542 per Railroad. 2.928
from Augusta, and 100 per wagons.) anil 455 bales Sea
Islauds. The exports for the same period amount to
10.284 bales Uplands, and 123 do. Sea Islands, viz: to
Boston 1.428 bales Upland; to New York 7.479 bales
Upland and 120 do. Sea Islands; to Philadelphia 742
bales Upland; to Baltimore 480 bales Upland: and to
Charleston 137 bale* Upland—leaving on hand and on
Nhipboard not cleared, a stock of 35,732 bales Upland,
aud 2.343 do. Sea Island, against 53.817 bales Upland
and 1,632 do. Sea Islauds at the same time last year.
During the week our market has exhibited some vari
ations iu prices. Our last weekly report closed with a
firm market. On Friday there was a good enquiry, the
sales amounting to 1.076 bales, at previous rates. On
Saturday the sales were 521: on Monday COO; and Tues
day forenoon 345. Up to this time the market had been
quiet with a rather limited demand. At noon on Tues
day, the telegraph announced the arrival of the Euro
pa* and that the Liverpool market had declined an
eighth of a penny in consequence of the exciting politi
cal news from France; this news had the effect to sus
peud operations in our market for the remainder of the
day. On Wednesday there were some transactions at a
decline of about |c.. but the market was again disturb
ed by three davs later intelligence from Europe by the
Baltic. The sales on Wednesday were but 253 bales.
Thursday being Christmas day, there was no business
done, and tliismoruiug there seems to be no disposition
to operate in consequence of the want of full ad' ices—
the Northern mail having failed tor four days, said to
is be detained by ice iu the Potomac River. The market
so much unsettled, that we are unablo lo give any quo
tations.
The sales of the week amount to 2,883 bales, p irticu-
Urs as follows: 42 at 7J; 43 at 7j; 70 at7jj; 12; at 7];
121 at 72; 172 at 7j{; 12 at 7 13-10; 170 at « 51.* at 8;
480 at 8j; 73at 8 3-10; 511 ntSj; 143 at 8 5-10; 395 at BK,8 K ,
and 8 bales choice at 9 cents.
Flour. —Wo hear of sales of a small quantity of
Baltimore at $4,87 j. The market is well supplied and
there is a fair deraaud.
Corn. —There has been a better demand for this arti
cle during the past week than for several weeks pre
vious. We hear of sales of 930 bushels, at prices not
made known; 400 bushels prime white, at 75 ct.s. cash,
aad 200 do. at 77 eta.
Salt —The cargo noticed in our last as just arrived,
consisting of 5,000 sacks, common Liverpool, has been
suit! at 87 j, It is scarce, there being none now iu first
bands.
Molasses. —There have been no arrivals of Cuba
within the week. The last cargo sale was at 20 cts.
Hay. —There is very little doing in this article. We
have heard of no large transactions, the demand being
coutiued altogether to retail transactions.

CHARLESTON. Dec. 27.— ('otton.— The intei.option
in the channels of communication, caused by the nou
arrival of the mail, and the injury sustained to he tel
egraphic wires, prompted buyers in a great me.i -uro to
withdraw, and operations were partially su pended
throughout Friday, Saturday and Monday la- . which
resulted in a languid and depressed market. This agent
was in successful operation on Tuesday, and fu.nUtied
us with the unfavorable accounts brought over by the
Kuropa, and subsequently those by the lialtir. when
holders, yielding to circumstances they could i.ot con
trol, met purchasers at very heavy sacrifices. During
Tuesday and Wednesday the sales showed a good deal of
irregularity in prices, but at tho close of business on
the latter day. a decline of j a sc. was establi lied on
the prices current at the highest point of the in irketof
the previous week. Thursday was Christmas day aud
nothing was done.
The market opened on Friday with a tolerably fair
denial! I, but holders were asking an advance on former
transactions, predicated on the favorable turn that pri
ceshad taken in New York at the lust advices from that
cltv. but buyers refused to coin© to terms, and with
drew, tho sales consequently were limited. The few
transactions made indicated as low a range of prices as
were previously submitted to, and the market as much
unsettled as it was at that time. The position of tho
market at tho close ol’ tho week, and the receipt last
evening of rather unfavorable advices by the Canada,
have determined us to withhold quotations for the pres
ent, as we are firmly convinced that none that we could
offer would give a true index to the state of the market.
The sales since our last report may be estimated as fol
lows, viz: Friday. GOO bales; Saturday, 357; Monday,
352; Tuesday, 5*11; Wednesday. 044; and Friday, 600—
making an aggregate of 3,0.34 bales at the following
particulars, viz:—l3 bales at 0, ;20 at ; i2at i;l< at 1
7j ;14 at 72; 51 at 7 \ ;84at 7$ ; 155 st ; 169 at 7j ; ]

; 31.3 at 8g ; 244 at ; and 25 bales ut B*c. Received
this week 17.033 bales.
Bacon.— Yery # little has been done in Bacon this
week, aud our quotations for Hams and Shoulders must
be considered nominal. Some 100 lihdtf. Sides have .
been sold, part to arrive, at 9jc.
Soft.—The receipts since our last reach 6000 sacks,
the greater portion of whi ch bad been sold to arrive, ou
terms not made public, and the balance was sold on ,
arrival at $1 per sack.
Coffee. —There has been a good demand for Rio. and
upwards of 1500 bags have changed hands at prices
ranging from 8 to 9c. as in quality.
Molasses. —Some GOO bbls. New Orleans Molasses, re
ceived at the close of the provious week, were sold at
32 and 33 ; subsequently, howover, the market became
depressed, iu consequence of the heavy accession to the
stock—upwards of 1500 bbls. having been received this
week—and prices declined to 30c., at which rate sales
were effected yesterday, the market dosing with a |
portion of the supply unsold. We have no transactions :
to rep >rt in other descriptions.
Freights.— Our rates both to Liverpool and Havre re
main as previously quoted, viz: 5-lGthsand i-lOths for
Cotton to the former; ] a lc. and $23 per 000 lbs. for ;
Rice to the latter port. We quote to New York. Cotton,
5-lGthsand 25c. for transient vessels, and 75c. per tierce
for Rice; to Boston the same rates prevail for Cotton,
and Rice is shipped at $1 per tierce.

THIS NOBLE ANIMAL has arrived in this
city, in good health, although this climate is
very injurious to her. She is entirely destitute of
hair on any part of the body—her skin resembling
Imlian Rubber, and as soft as velvet. She was
captured on tho plains of Venezuela, with tho In
dian Laso, by a party of hunters, after a chase of
five days, and is, without exceptions, the most beau
tiful creature in tho animal kingdom. She has
bcon visited by thousands, and examined by tho
most scientific gentlemen of tho South, and pro
nouncod by them to be so.
The owner will forfeit $2,000 to any one produc
ing an animal like this, in beauty, Sliced and syrno
try. Medical gentlemen are invited, free of chargo,
to show that this is no humbug. Thore is also a
large collection of Indian Paintings, and Landscapes
of that country and its inhabitants, whoro she once
made her home. She will bo exhibited THIS DAY,

Wc hnvc examined a Horse about to he exhibited
