The Express.
London, England, 1852-09-13 00:00:00

the past month are doubly annoying, in view of the consi
derable supplies actually arrived, and the formidable
announcements, that we mast now expect to be peering in
apace. As some mouth' must necessarily elapse ere tran-
quillity and confidence are restored, we are not without
serious apprehensions of another glutted market, an evil
too recent to be forgotten or lost sight of by importers, and
eventually prejudicial to all parties concerned.
Withal, it is proper to note, that during the teal few days
purchasers have come forward more freely, and that very
conaiderable taanaactions have been effected, chiefly in the
matt importations, both for the interior end for the local
eousempttoi. Present prices, especially fur the great lead-
ing article*, can hardly be termed remunerative; and
whether they are destined to advance a little, or recede rtill
farther from that impi.rtant point, most depend on the
course of importation. If heavy and promiscuous supplies
are forced in, holders have no choice but to continue clear-
ing off, especially the descriptions adapted to toe interior
demand. This necessity is enhanced. by the stringent Mai.
tation of time, for the payment of our heavy import duties
very injudiciously adhered to by the Cunto -house. ai;
thine* now stand we cannot compete with Monte Video;
and if the present policy of high duties and nu acconimede.

Unfavourable advice' per Teviut, caused a decline of (ruin
100 tolso reis in our coffee market, and aalesot 25,000 bags
were effected. Thin limited amount of business done after
so considerable a reduction in prin., augurs ill for the future
of this market, and a still further di elm.• may perhaps be
anticipated after the departure of the packet, especially in
European qualities. At the same time prices are already
sufficiently low to admit of exten,ive operations for the
States, and we have reasons fur believing that large pur-
chases will be made soon atter the departure of the
steamer. On the whole the market is in a state of gicat
uncertainty, and it might only mislead were we to venture
to give en opinion u regards the future.
