Somebody vras saying something' about Charleston-having Income such iv big . - - . i naval gtaro market and how it was rival ing now; and would soon eclipse, Wilming ton in this line. To show the folly of Hucht assertions. We propose from time to time to institute comparison between, the two markets. For instance, on Saturday last, as we learn . from the News and Cour ier, lhe receipts in Charleston were 43 casksnpirits and ST8 bbls rosin -while the sales were 30 casks spirits at .38 ccnts' for whUkey and 39 ce;its for oil packages. In .rosins there were "ho saTes reported, which were nominrd at 2 25$2 30 foi; strained to No. 2. As nothing is said about crude and tar wo presume there were no receipts and no sales on that day, of? cipher article, i v ' , Ou. the same day, Saturday, the receipts here were 81 spirits, 899 rosin, 195 tar and 259 crude, whit h, by t he way,1 was far below the average. Spirits sold here on that day at 45 cebts, G cents per gallon more thau in Charleston and rosia at 2 30 at which price . was wnerely rionir inal in Charleston. . 't The Freshet.
