(From De (ardortes Mercantile latellipeneer.)

KINOOTON, JAMAICA, JULY 26, 1853.
Our market has been rather quiet than otherwise during
the fortnight, very little speculative inquiry having been
manifested. Indeed, with the exception of operations
in flour and pork, trade has been almost entirely confined
within the ordicary limits. The intelligence brought by
the packet on Saturday and the prospect which it holds out
of an early resumption of business by the legislature is,
however, likely soon to give an impetus to business, inas-
much as speculators, looking to the probable re-imposition
of im,,ort duties within a few weeks, will come forward
more confidently. Supt lies generally are very ample. In
the produce market we notice a considerable rise in the
value of sugar, particularly of the lower qualities, conse-
quent on the small stock in factors' hands. Holders of rum,
of which there is a large quantity of the duty free article in
the market, evince no desire to press their supplies on the
trade. It is yet too early to expect any coffee or pimento
at market, or to offer any positive opinion as to the extent
of the coming crops. Some rumours have reached us of
the unsatisfactory appearance of the pimento trees in the
principal districts, but we do not vouch for their correct-
ness. The first shipment, of any importance, of copper ore
from Jamaica was made last week. The schooner Lile has
taken away 80 tons from the Metcalfe (Job's-hill) mines.
Bitasifv.—The importations continue on large scale, but
the receipts of inferior descriptions greatly exceed those of
favourite marks. The market is consequently largely over-
stocked with the former, for the best of which nothing over
Ba. petegallon can be obtained. Martell's and Hennessey's
command lls. 6d. per gallon.
CuaN.-200 sacks Mew Orleans have been moved at
3s. 3il. per bushel. Another parcel of 500 bags was placed
at 31. There is not any South American in first hands.
Fitestaftra.—A vessel has been taken up to load here and
at an outnort for London, and to sail on the 10th or 15th
August, at 4s. per cwt. far sugar, sd. per gallon for rum.
Another for Liverpool, to sail at the same date, has been
also chartered at 3s. 6d. for sugar.
11, N.—No sales of any importance have transpired. In
tact, holders do not seem anxious to press their stocks on
the market. The quantity now on hand is estimated at
something like 000 puncheons, almost the whole of which
has come in since the lapse of the limm Duty Bill.
