BREADSTUFFS : FLOUR.-With a very limited demand,
and that confined almost entirel3 to the local trade, prices
declined 25c per brl between the date of our last circular
and the close of the week. The arrivals of about 40,000
brls yesterday and to-day, simultaneously with the
accounts to the 29th ult. per Cambria, at Halifax, has
caused a further fall of 25c to 50c per brl, making a total
decline of 50c to 75c per brl since the 7th inst—the great-
est depreciation being upon the lower qualities. We have
made some alterations in our quotations, the present in-
spection being unreliable for foreign orders. Western
Canal and State, Common, 5 dols 87ic to 6 dols per brl;
Good Shipping, 6 dols 25c to 6 dols 75e. Ohio, Indiana,
&c., 6 dols 75c to 7 dols 50c. Canada 6 dots 50c to 8 dols.
Southern, 7 dols 25c to 8 dols. Fancies and High Extras,
8 dols to 10 dols. Wheat has been in fair demand for
milling at about previous prices. Southern White, 185 c
to 197 c per 60 lbs. Genessee and Western, 180 c to 190 c.
Canadian, 180 c to 190 c. Western Red and Mixed, 160 c
to 175 c. Southern Red, 170 c to 175 e. Indian Corn is 2c
to 3c per 56 lbs lower, and in good demand for shipment.
Yellow, 64c to 65c per 56 lbs. White, 65c to 67c. Western,
Old Mixed. 63c to 65c. Rye is in increased supply conse-
quently upon the opening of the rivers, and prices have
further declined 5c per 65 lbs. Barley, 125 c to 130 c per
48 lbs. Rye 95c to 97c per 56 lbs. Corn Meal, 3 dols
50c to 3 dols 75c per brl. Rye Flour, 4 dols 50c to 5 dols
50c per brl. WOTHERSPOON, KINGSFORD & CO.
ASHES : Pot have been in good request, at the recent
advance.

_COAL : Sales have been made of 75 tons best Liverpool
orrel, and two cargoes Pictou afloat (one before arrival),
on terms we did not learn. Orrel is held at 8 dols, four
months.

COPPER : New sheathing sells in suits at 32 cents, and
English and American yellow metal 26c, 6 months. Ingot
Copper is quiet. Old is firm ; 6,000 to 7,000 lb. sold at
263 c to 27-Ic, cash.
Hors are only in moderate demand ; whole parcels of first
sort can be bought for 8c to 9c, and cboica sells in a small
way at 10c.

IRON : The market remains inactive. Scotch pig is
irregular; some sales have been made at lower rates, and
prices have a downward tendency. It may be quoted 35
dols to 35 dols 50c.

MOLASSES : The market is not active, but good qualities
are wanted by the trade, and prices are supported, these
being in moderate supply.
NAVAL &roans: Turpentine is not enquired for to any
extent, and though the stock is small, the market is dull,
and nearly nominal at 3 dole 12/c to 3 dole 25c per 280 lb.
Common Rosin has continued in favour, and further ad-
vanced 21 cents : our highest figures being refused yesterday
for large size brls, Wilmington, &C. The stock is much
reduced, and the tendency of freights, is to strengthen
holders. Tar is held more firmly, and the few sales made,
have been at slightly improved prices, though the demand
is light.
PEovisioNs : With an increased demand for pork, in
part for export, and only a moderate supply on sale, prices
of mess have advanced 50 cents, while other descriptions
remained unchanged, but firm ; sales 3,000 brls, closing at
15 dols 621 c for prime, 16 dole Blic to 16 dole 87/c for
mess, 16 dole 25c to 16 dole 50c for thin mess, and 17 dole
for prime mess, including 500 mess, deliverable in all April
and May, 15 dols 75c ; 480 uninspected do, to arrive soon,
16 dole 50c ; and 500 prime mess yesterday, on the spot, at
the quotation. Beef arrives freely, and, with a heavy
stock, and only a limited demand, the market has again
declined about 25 cents ; sales, 1,02:5 brls, closing at 8 dols to
8 dole 371 c for country prime, 8 dole 75c to 10 dols for do.
mess, 12 dols to 13 dols for Vermont mess, 10 dole 50c to
13 dole for repacke'l Western, and 13 dols 50c to 14 dols
for extra do. Prime mess beef continues dull, and prices
favour the purchaser; in the absence of sales, however,
quotations are nominal. Beef hams are also inactive ; 150
brls inferior Western sold at 13 dols to 13 dots 50e. Cut
meats are more plenty. and priceshave declined ; sales 875 pkgs
at 7c to 71,c for shoulders, and 81c to 9c for hams. The
export demand for bacon having abated, the market has
been dull, and is scarcely so firm; small sales at 81e to 91c
for middles. Lard remains steady, with a fair demand ;
sales 11,600 brls at 10c to 101 c for fair to prime. Butter is
lower and dull at 15c to 17c for Ohio, and lBc to 24c for
common to good state. Cheese has also declined to 5c to
10c as in quality.
gALT : The recent receipts of Liverpool and Mediter-
ranean have supplied the market temporarily, and dealers
buy sparingly, expecting a more favourable currency.
_ _

SUGAR: There has continued a steady good demand for
home use and for Canada, and the market is buoyant at
gradually hardening prices, though perhaps no particular
advance can be said to have been established.

TIN : The market for pig, with favourable advices from
Holland, stating an advance there, is firmer.
TOBACCO is without change.
_

FREIGHTS continue dull, and with an increasing supply
of tonnage, lower rates have been accepted in nearly all
directions. The Deal trade between the British Provinces
and Great Britain has now fairly commenced, the first
two charters of the season (at this port) having been made
since our last, which indicates that the opening rates are
not so high as in Boston. There are a good many orders in
the market for vessels varying from 200 tons up to the
highest registers, but it is difficult to execute them at
present, the rates at which they are limited, being in most
instances below the views of shipowners. To Liverpool,
the engagements include 4000 brls Flour, at Is 3d to is 6d,
closing at the inside rate ; 20,000 bushels Grain, 4id in
bulk, and sd, in ship's bags ; 2000 boxes Bacon, 255;
1500 brls Rosin, 2s 3d to 2s 6d ; 3500 bales Cotton, closing
at d ; 210 tons Logwood, 25s ; 150 do Fustic, 15 s ; 10
casks Ashes, 255; and 200 brls Oil, 27s 6d.

EXCHANGE.-There was considerable business for the
Asia, and sterling closed firmly, bankers asking 91 per
cent. The transactions in general have been at the fol-
lowing rate, say—Bills on London 91 to 91 per cent prem.
