AUGUSTA MARKET.
Thursday mght. Dec. 31,1810.
COTTON.—There lias been a moderate demand
to-day, ai ye-terday's prices.
MO BILL, Dec. 28. —Colton —The receipts this
week are 1i,17i the exports, 3.3(54 t)ales,
leaving the slock on hand and on shipboard 62,-
1)64 bale-, against 71,01)0 hales same I,me last
sea>on.
I In* trail actions for the past week, both in the
receipts an i sales of cotton, have been tlie largest
of the season. Our last review closed on a very
firm market with »,n upward tendency in prices.
'The next morning (Saturday) hovers came lively
forward, and during the flay some 4000 bales
changed hands, at very full prices, improving
somewhat on our outside figures of last week.—
Advancing freights and a slight decline in ex
change, however, brought buyers to a pause on
Monday, and only SJO hales were disposed of.
holders in iniainitig their positions vviih much
firmness On Tuesday the market was remarka
bly (piiei, and some symptoms of a dispushioii on
the part of factors to relax a little was exhibited,
hi.l >nly 700 bales were disposed of. The same,
h alures < h iracterizeil the market of Wednesday ;
tlie views of faciors still ranging above those ol
the. opposite p irty. and the sales of the day summ
ed up ouiv r 1.1) 10 hales. 'The siMu of "the man
with the carpet hag,” on the Eastern mail boat on
Thursday morning, indicated tlie arrival ot the
( ambria’s accounts by private express, and the
movements of brokers in the course of tb£day
continued tlie impression. The demand became
general and although prices advanced during the
■day fully «c. the transaciioiis amounted to 6,Out)
■bales, middling cottons bringing 94c. and middling
l iar fully 10c.—while in some instances even high
er rates than these were paid, an i the day closed
on unite an excited market. Friday’s mail brought
a slip from the office of the Baltimore Sun, con
taining an outline of the Cambria’s advices upon
which th>'operations of Thursday* were based, but
it being Christmas day only some 1.0)0 hales
were sold at st;II improving rates. The sales of
the week exceed 13.000 bales. On Saturday the
full accou its by tlie Cambria came to hand. The
business of -Saturday amounted to 1.000 hales. In
reference to quotations*, and vviih the explanations
above given, vve confine ourselves to the rales ac
tually paid on Saturday, remarking that prices are
unsettled and irregular and llic market a good
deal excited. Although we give an advance since
our last report of fully 4e on all the descr ptions
of cotton, the demand has been principally confin
ed to middling fair and the qualities below that
grade.

The extraordinary success
attending tlie use of this medicine in diseases of
the lungs, and the many singular cures it has ef
| fected, having naturally attracted tlie attention of
many physicians, as well as the whole fraternity
! of quacks, various conjectures and surmises have
arisen respecting its composition; sum * physicians
have supposed it to contain iodine, other ignorant
pretenders say it must contain mercury, an I to
i some such substance they each attrilmt* its singu
lar efficacy. As such opinions are altogether er
roneous, and calculated to prejudice many person*
against it, we PLEDGE Ol R HONOR that il
contains nothing of this kind, or anything flu* least
injurious; uu the contrary, it is composed of lHe
I most simple substances, the principal ofwaich are
the extracts of tar and wild cherry hark, and the
whole secret of its efficacy consists in the mode in
which they are prepared.
