Vino! SI lA.—The market has been heavy during the last these
week., and only a few purchases made by middle buyers of small
parcels at reduced prices or id a id. per lb. and at which reduction
it is said said sales have also been made to the trade. Supplies are
coming in, and must be daily expected, as the season is at hand for
the import of the last crop. There are no orders for the Conti-
n ntal market, although the period for autumn shipments is ad-
vancing fast. The stock in the principal foreign markets is un.
commonly reduced, notwithstanding which there is little or no dis-
position shown to any material advance in these, in which the prices
continue very much below those of this market, anti unless an Im-
pmvernent there, or a decline here takes place, there is little pro.
bability of any foreign orders of consequence. The trade buy spar.
ingly, and it will be seen that the delivery fur the home trade, not-
withstanding the reduction of duty, has not increased this month.
