adviese of the 6th mention thattnemesed
aniniation bad prevailed in the coffee market, with a
further slight advance in prim; but u holders were
very firm, and would not enter the market at present
rates, the transactions during the week were limited
to 13,200 bags Brazil at 41 to 61 soh., and 800 bags
Domingo et 41 to 51 'eh ; good ordinary Brazil was
quoted 41 to 6 sob. Sager, on the other hand, was
rather lower in value, at which several small lots for
local consumption bad been disposed of; 400 boxes
ordinary white Havana at 17.5, and 1,000 boxes
brown ditto at 12.11 to 14 marks. In Caro-
lina rice some business had been done at 12.8
to 13.4, and superior ditto at 14 marks 4 soh. In
cotton nothing of any importance had been done. A
good opinion prevailed for hides. A panel of 2,000
oontner damaged Domingo logwood bad realised at
auction 2.9 to 2.101. Almonds were held at higher
rates, in corsiquenos of the advice* from the pro-
ducing districts.' Is speller the business was limited
to 2,000 mothers, at 9 marks 8 'ch. The wool market
was quiet, end, with the exception of some small lots
of Mecklenburg fleece at 191 ech. per lb., no business
had been done. The grain market was quiet, and
prices drooping. The public securities were looking
up. The exchange on London was 13.91 for three
months. Gold, 4361 mar s.
Letters from Gallipoli mention that the crop of oil
of the province was only about one-eighth of the
usual average, namely 37,000 'aims, of which 22,000
had been seat to Gallipoli, and 15,060 salms to
Taranto. The quality is particularly good, and fully
equal to that of the previous year. Is deposit there
were about 37,000 alms, the greeter part of which
were already engaged for export. Au unusualdzgree
of cold, and the then prevailing drought, had irjured
the olive trees in many districts, and unless more
favourable weather intervenes, apprehensions were
entertained for the next crop. The oil makers were
firm is demanding high rate., and Gallipoli was
quoted 31d. 40g. per calm L o. b.
Advises from Naples mention that fears were enter-
tained that the cold and snow are likely to injure the
almond blossoms and seriously effect the crop. Con-
tracts for October delivery had been made at 24 d.
per out., first cost, and !or prompt at 231 d.
From Apulia the accounts respecting the injury
done by the frost to the almond blossoms are even
more discouraging. and the crop in consequence was
considered almos lost in that district.

The export of Muscatel raisins from the island of
Samos to foreign ports, between the 13th September,
1849, and 18-h February this year, amounted to
8,389 casks of the growth of 1849, of which 8,247
owls were seat to the Netherisads, 3,2911 maks were
by Dutch vessels, I,ol9casks in Greek vessels, 760 in
Danish, 600 in Sareintan, and 373 in English weasels.
Accounts have been received from the Mauritius to
the 19th January. A deal of activity had prevailed
in the sugar market, with a slight advance in price,
fine yellow being quoted 4.85 to 3.05 ; good ditto,
4.50 to 4.75 ; middltrg, 4.13 to 4.40 ; and others in
proportion. The sales during the last eight
Idays amounted to 40,000 bags at the above
rates. The exports to date amounted to
68,108,765 lbs. sugar, and of rum 174,752 gallons.
Freights were quoted 21. 15s. to 2/. 17s. Bd. to Great
Britain. The beneficial effects of the operation of the
new navigation laws had already b:en felt in the
colony, to the great advantage of the trade of the
island. Several Frerch vessels had arrived during
the month with cargoes, which had been admitted for
consumption, and diapored of at a profit to the im-
porters.
From Buenos Ayres we have this afternoon re-
°rived oommercial advice, of the lit of February.
They state that the market continued very flat for all
kin& of import', as the enormously large supplies
daily pouring in were quite out of proportion to the
consumption. The stocks in first and second hands
were rapidly accumulating, and prime in
consequence were giving way, so that at the
current rates very few articles would realise cost
price. Articles of export were scarce in the market,
owing to the long continued drought, and the brisk
demand induced by the accounts from Europe. Prices,
therefore, were disproportionately high, particularly
for hides and wool, for both which articles there was
a good demand, whilst tallow and horse-hair were
neglected. The price of salt was very low, being
only sr. to 6r. per fan. Freights were
scarce, and many vessels it was thought would be
obliged to sail in ballast in consequence. The rate
was 31. to the Channel. The doubloon was quoted
at 250 to 248 dole. Exchange on London, 675. 6d. to
881, per ounce.

The financial position of the Argentine Confede-
ration is represented as being very satisfactory, owing
to the ability with which this branch of the national
business has been conducted by the executive. The
following is a general statement of the publio domestic
bt of Buenos Ayres, from the period when the first
portion of it was contracted—i e., the lit Jan , 1822,
up to the end of Dec., 1849, together with the cash
account from the lit Lin. to the 31st Dec., 1849:
