We give above, in accordance vxith our custom, a series 
of very interesting tables, illustrative of the movements 
in Breadstuffs, not only lor tlie past month, but for a 
series of years. These tables have been prepared from 
official and other authentic records, and may be regaided 
as thoroughly reliable. They leave us very little room 
for our usual notice of the month's business The 
receipts of Breadstuffs liave falien short of the require- 
ments of buyers since our last, and tlieie has been a gen- 
eral rise in prices ; Ihe market closes less buoyantly. 
The export demand has been f:dr. There has been a 
great scarcity of prime wheat, which has been much 
needed by local millers Provisions have been in fair 
demand, but have been depressed and uiisetiled in price. 
Butler and cheese have been in veiy liberal supply 
Cotton h;is been more active, closing firmly and buoyant- 
ly- The receipts at this port, year ending Sept. 1, were ; 
868,575 bales ; amotnit taken by spinners, same time, 
379,720 bales ; exports, same time, 495,309 bales ; stock 
here Sept, 1, 1866, 68,408 bales. The total receipts at all 
the chief shipping ports, year ending Sept. 1, were 
2,188,278 bales ; and the exports therefrom, same time. 
1,431,600 bales Wool has beeii in lather more de- 
mand at about previous quotations .... Hay has been 
less plenty, and has been In good demand at buoyant 
prices Hops, seeds, and tol)acco have been quiet at 
irregular figures.
