, there isa prospect 'that the shipments os
l wheat and ﬂour, which may in the mean
time arrive from America, will meet with
; a "fair demand, unless-onr present Situation

The .bill which was introduced into Parlia
ment some time since, with a view of im
posing double the present duties upon so
reign timber, hereafter imported into this
country, has passed the house o'scommons;
but, at what period its operation is intended
to commence, or whether any modification
may take place, in the rate of increase-ori- l
ginallyct proposed, besoreit obtain the force
ofa law, are circumstances respecting which
very little is yet positivesi-ly known. ss
" The import of staves, particularly of
barrel, has already been heavy, and as a
regular succession os arrivals may now be
expected, the demand is, upon the whole,
iimitcd, the (lenlers having no inducement

supply is ordinary and middling, which is
almost unsaleable, being adapted sor ex

cannot, under existing circumstances, cal
culate upon much relief being obtained.
Our own manusacturcrs purchase very spar

putting an end to this uneasmcu was disco.
" Fluxsch, in consequence of very'large
imports from the Unitcd States, declined
to 575 :! 595 per hhd. at which the crush
ers wssrc 1-.duc<-d to purchase very freely,
and this circumstance has had the eﬀect of
advancing the prices. Several of the hold

has in the mean time been rather checked
by the arrival, at the poris of London and

" Owing to the unsavourabie appearance
ofour own now, there has been a good
deal osspeculation in American clover seed,
and the late arsivals have been sold, chieﬂy
at 905 per cwt. One or two very superior
parcels reulized 955 21 IOOs, but though the
demand still exists, it hashecome-more li
