LIZDS LSATBIR MARES?, Friday.—(Prom Conyers
and Sons' Circuktr.)—We have to report a very good
attendance of the trade at our fair to-day; the amount
of business done by representation and in the ware-
houses was, we believe, considerable. There was
generally • good feeling 'manifest, and confidence in the
stability of prices. At the same time the goods forming
the Maple of this market, viz., common and shaved
hides, were only in sluggish demand, the prospects of
pew*, in opposition to the probability of war at our
last fair, having somewhat lessened the inquiry. Fast
India tip* were, perhaps, the most easily saleable of
any article, at late prioes. Foreign butts were little
inquired for. Calf skins, horse hides, and offal were in
fair demand. The quantity of leather laid down in the
' market was much less than usual, the had drying
weather no doubt influencing the production, and the
demand when war mu imminent having cleared the
tanners in this district of much which would otherwise
have been offered to-day.
BRIVOL SUGAR MARILST, Jaw. 17,—Business oon-
tinues restricted, owing to the small quantity offering
is the raw market; the brokers' offices being nearly
