AsHEs : The market continues very aparin

supplied, and

prices of Pot have again advanced, the demand being good for
export—sales 80 brls. Pot at 6 do's 62,-,lc to 6 dols 75c; 40
do. Canadian, inspected here, 6 dols 874 c ; and 63 do. to
arrive, Montreal Inspection, at the same price. All the Pearl,
offering are readily taken at 7 dole 75c, say 25 brls. since our
last.
COkL : Prices of Liverpool are unsettled, and 75 tons
Halliburton's Orrel have changed hands at something under
9 dole. 4 months. A cargo Sidney, afloat, brought 5 dole 75c
4 months.

COPPER : New sheathing is firm at 29c, and yellow metal,
23c, six mos. Refined ingot copper is still inactive. Some
4,000 to 5,0001bs old sheathing, &c. sold at 22c to 23c mos:).
Hops are very dull, and the sales since our last do not
exceed 60 to 70 bales at 8c to 10c cash. The accounts per the
Baltic, of the English clop, continues favourable, and estimates
of duty are higher. There is now little or no disposition here
to contract for future deliveries of new.

NAVAL STORES : Turpentine continues in small supply, and
is firmly held at 3 dols 75c for North County—stock very
light, most of that coming in having been engaged previously.
Spirits turpentine, in whole parcels, can be bought at 42 cents
cash, (though generally held higher) ; and some sales, in lots
as wanted, have been made at 43c to 44c, showing a decline,
though the market is still unsettled—at Wilmington a
decline of 3c from the highest point (40 cents) was
submitted to, which has also contributed to unsettle our mar-
ket—stock 5,000 brie; receipts light, Common rosin has
improved, and some sales have been made at 1 dol 70c, from
yard, at which it it generally held—receipts light. White is

•
scarct• and wanted. Tar is held firmly, and arrives sparingly,
though there is a good stock, and only a moderato demand,
within our tango—stock 6,000 to 7,000 brls.

Ou.s.—Whale continues to he held above the views of
buyers, and there is nothing doing— 80e to 82c is asked in
New ,Bedford ; 600 brls South Sea void there a week ago at
79c; stock in the country 72,000 brls. The sales of crude
sperm at New Bedford are 2,100 brie for export to London,
at 1 dot 50c, and 300 do selected, 1 dot 55c ; stock in the
country 49,500 brls, 100 b.kts olive, pints, sold at 4 dolt
371 c four months, and 750 cases in bond cn terms we did not
Linseed continues active and buoyant, and there is
none in first hands. Manufacturers and dealers have sold
largely, perhaps 50,000 gallons English and American, at
93c to 100 c, closing firmly.
IRON : The market for all descriptions is very quiet, there
being scarcely anything doing. 200 to 300 tons Scotch pig
brought 30dols, 6 mae.; 55 dols is offered for common English
bars, and 60 dols for refined, hut,these prices are refused. Sheet
is without change. The Philadelphia Nortit American of
Saturday says :--c' Our market has ruled rather quiet. Holders,
however, are firm. Sales 600 to 800 tons, mostly Anthracite,
in lot•, at 24 dole for No, 3, 25 dots for No. 2, and 27 dots for
No. 1, on time. Railroad bars are more enquired for, and
bring foil prices.

PROVISIONS :• The pork market continues spiritless, and
prices for all descriptions, except prime, are a shade easier ; on
mess, we quote the decline 123 c, closing with free sellers
at the reduction ; the receipts arc moderate, and the stock fair,
hut, being in few and strong hands, it is easily controlled,
despite the growing stringency in the money market; the sales
are but 1,300 brls, closing at 19 dole 934 c to 19 dols 50c for
mess, 18 dols for prime and prime mess, 19 dole for thin mess,
and 21 dole to 21 dols 50c for clear. Prime mess remains
inactive, and quotations are entirely nominal. Beef hams are
scarce, though in the absence of any demand 'we make no
change in prices. Cut meats are offered more freely, and
they are easier to purchasers: sales_ 275 bltds, closing

at gic to 8!, for shoulders, and 9ic to 91, for hams ; also some
rough sides at 91e. Lard is in litni ed supply, and prices have
advanced lc, with only a moderato business at the improve-
ment ; sates 800 brls at 13c to 13L-c, and 50,030 lbs grease at

SALT : There is no Liverpool on the spot offering, that
afloat having been sold previously. The quantity known to

be on the way is small, and prices have an upward tendency.
We note sales of 2,500 sacks ground and 800 do. Jeffreys
and Darcey's fine, to arrive, at about our qotations ; and
7,000 bushels Lisbon, also to arrive, something over 20 cents,
4 mos: `'Yost India is in better supply, and dealers seek a
reduction ; two cargoes of Turk's Island are afloat unsold.
SUGAR : The market has continued depressed since our
last, and with a disposition on the part of some holders to
realise, the decline has made further progress, so that prices
may now be fairly quoted one quarter of a cent below the
highest point, there being an apparent determination on the
part of the trade and refiners, to restrict purchases at late high
rates to their strictest necessities. Refined sympathises wi,h
raw, and coffee crushed is tic to he lower—there is, how-
ever, little or none offering, the refiners having sold ahead,
but contracts for future delivery can be made at the reduction.
