it would render imports on a large wale absolutely impneticable,

such disadvantage, from ding so, except on term. that would greatly

articles, but it was to be attributed rather to their scarcity than to the
revival of a speculatire demand. Purchases continue to be made
merely for Immediate consumption, while the premiere on the gamey
market ha. not been relieved in the slightest degree.

reduced stock and the intelligence from America of an advance Is
