malted grain.
Accounts from Havannah, dated the end of last month,
refer thus unfavourably to the prospects of the crops:—
" The western end of the island has been visited with
continued and heavy rains during the past fortnight,
which have put a atop to sugar grinding, and will conti
nue to interrupt it for some days to come. Tuts cause
may shorten the crop teu or fitteen par cent. from what
it. would have been under more favourable circumstances.
There is considerable talk now that the yield will fall
300,000 boxes short of last year; but I am inclined to
think that the estimate is too high, and that sugars can
be purchased a month hence lower than now. Owing,
however, to the bad accounts from the country, prices
have been firm and well sustained during the last fort-
night, without advancing; the sales have been limited,
and consequently freights are not readily obtained, and
rates have declined. Exchanges have stiffened some-
what. The market for American produce ie without
animation, and no change can be noted in the quotations
of a fortnight since.
" The exportation of: country produce from this port
to date are as follows:—Of the exports this month, there
