COMMERCIAL.

JASIAICA.—Since our hat report, the trilling tendency, to
improvement which we therein noticed has entirely sobeided and left
our market, if possible, duller than before. Indeed we think trade
more Flow now in Kingston than ever it has been—a state of things
which we bad every reason to expect and foresee, but which is, never.
thetas, dreadfully deplorable. On referring to the detailed noticesof
the various artieles of annum= given below, It will be obeereed
that the following sentence frequently occurs "'fie stock
is very light, but there is not any demand." This fact
proem, more then any words we could write, the position of
trade in Kingston at the preFent moment. Formerly, if the supply of
any article were light, if even retailers were docked, speculators were
found who would patchier for a rim—persons who would "bull"
when occasion offered—but there is nothing of that kind now in
Kingston, simply because there is not any money. AU parts of the
island have been exited by plentiful showers of rain, which, in some
districts, have lasted longer than usual. Unfortunately, we are lot
in a position to take advantage of them, many of the sugar estates
having been either changed to breeding pens, or entire) abandoned.
not:R.—There have not teen any arrivals slime our end the
stock is becoming reduced, but owing to the unusually demand
the supply may nun be called consWerable.. Sales are dull, at 3es, to
its. By retail, 34;4. is asked for Baltimore. As we are shout cloning,
we learn that two of the late arrivals brought flour, about 1,000 brb.
Nothing has yet been done 1n mks.
