adapted to the taste of the trade; but all goods of bad et;lce suffer
heavy WWI% and are only mid with mueh difficulty. Lawn. are par-
ticularly dormant—Ole demand for them is extremely small, and the
prices ere shockingly low, even when the surd's roe good.

Southernporta, prim rallied I to e., with gales to the
extent of 900 bales. On the 9th, we received the Caniida'e
accounts per telegraph, and with an anxiety to sell, and a limited
demand, the sales of the 9th and 10th inclusive, did not exceed 1000
bake, at le. decline. On the 12th, 1130 bales were mid at a further

On the 14th, 3200—without change, On the 13th, the market opened
with an mumated demand, but the weak and nervous tellers being
relieved of their stocks, /ekes advanced IC with Wale!‘ to the extent
of 2200 bales. On the 16th, 1600 bales were diapeadi of at a further
improvement of Ic., and {yesterday 1010 bales at full priors to

I.nuth—As to the probable extent of crop, there is now but
little difference of opinion. Our estimate telly ad sifted of 21 to
2130,0,1 balee is considered as an extreme opinion. Already
the f.lliniroff In receipt.; amount to 313,ie o bales, and al:
amounts from the ink' ior agree that the bulhof the crop is marketed.
The crop may fall Abort of our estimate, but certaffily comet exceed
it. If 2,100,50; bake had been the accredited rennet, of our seep In
