business on the spot, and the dealers are compelled to draw
their supplies from other ports. In foreign, we have not

there is still some inquiry for floating cargoes. Refiners'
produce is without change; the lower descriptions of
crashed, and good pieces are in demand, but the latter sorts
are neglected. Rum is without inquiry.—P.S. A cargo of
2,000 boats of Havannah, about No. 16, has been taken
Cm this port, at 21s. 6d. floating.
