We give above, in accordance with our custom, a series 
of very interesting tables, illustrative of the movements 
in Breadstutfs, not only tor the past month, but for a 
series of years. These tables have been prepared from 
otScial and other authentic records, and may be regarded 
as thoroughly reliable. They leave us very little room 
for our usual notice of the month’s business:.The 
receipts of Breadstuffs have fallen short of the require¬ 
ments of buyers since our last, and there ha.s been a gen¬ 
eral rise in prices; the market closes less buoyantly. 
The export demand has been fair. 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 unsettled in price. 
Butter and cheese have been in very liberal supply. 
Cotton has been more active, closing firmly and buoyant¬ 
ly. The receipts at this port, year ending Sept. 1, were ; 
868,575 bales; amount 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 been in rather more de¬ 
mand at about previous quotations. Hay has been 
less plenty, and has been in good demand at buoyant 
prices.Hops, seeds, and tobacco have been quiet at 
irregular figures.
