High Price of Negroes.

--Slaves are bringing extremely high prices in this city. At an auction sale made yesterday one negro man sold for $3,350, and a girl for $3,250.--At private sale, a girl brought $4,600, and a cook woman $3,800. These are probably the highest prices ever obtained in this market.
