Richmond Markets, Sept. 19, 1861.

Since our report of last Tuesday, there have been no very material changes in the markets. The reader will observe, however, that Common Whiskeys have again advanced. We will warn the reader once more against supposing that our report of the markets has not been corrected merely because there is an apparent sameness in the phrases always and in the figures frequently. We apply to men of high standing, in whom we can place reliance, and feel no doubt that this report is entirely worthy of acceptance as true. We quote, as usual, the wholesale rather than the retail prices, and the buying rather than the selling figures:

Bacon.--Hog round, when bought in large quantities, 22 to 24 cents, and of dull sale; Home, which it is almost impossible to procure separately, are worth from 8 to 10 cents more by retail.

Butter--26 cents by the quantity.

Coffer.--Rio, scarce, and worth 40 cents. No other kinds in market.

corn.--58 to 60 cents per bushel.

Cotton.--14 cts. per 15.

Feed.--Shipstuffs 40 cents per bushel; Brownstuffs 20 cents; Shorts 15; Bran 12 ½

Flour.--By retail, $5 for Fine; $5.50 for Superfine — a slight decline; $6@6.25 for Extra Superfine, and $7@$7.25 for Family. There is also a variety of Flour called Cross Middlings, which makes as wholesome if not as white bread as any other brand, selling at $4.25@4.50.

Hay.--Clover Hay $1.25; Timothy $1.35.

Leather.--No Calfskin in market. It is difficult, too, to fix quotations for other kinds, the market being very variable. We quote Sole Leather 45 to 55 cents, as to quality; Upper scarce at $3.50@$6 per side; Harness Leather 50 cts. per lb. Hides — salted green, $8 to $8.50; green calf skins, $1.25@1.30--scarce.

Lime.--Next to none in market. The prices, therefore, are scarcely quotable. It would no doubt bring from $2.50 to $3 per barrel, if not more.

Molasses.--New Orleans 65 cents, with no other in market.

Lard.--20 cents in bbls.; 22 cents in kegs.

Oats.--37½ to 40 cts. per bushel. Bailed Oats $1.25.

Rice.--4 ½@5 cents, wholesale; a trifle higher by retail.

Salt.--$7, wholesale; $7.25@7.50 by retail.--No Ground Alum Salt in market.

Sugar.--New Orleans, in lots, 14 cents; Coffee Sugars 14 to 17½ cts.; Crushed 22@28 cts.

tobacco.--Common lugs, $1.75 to $2.25; better grades, $2.75 to $3.50; common leaf, $3.50 to $5.00; medium, $5.50 to $7.00; fine shipping, $8.50 to $11.00; fancy grades, as high as $17.

Wheat.--90 cts, for Red; $1 for White.

Whiskey.--Quite a demand exists for this article. Those who wish to procure a good article, and understand the state of the market, and the prospect for the future, are sending in their orders for a good article, while it may be had. Among Common Whiskeys, Twenty Per-Cent is worth 75 cents, and Ten Per-Cent. brings 82 cents. A good article of old Mountain Whiskey cannot be bought for less than $1.25, and from this price up to $2 per gallon.
