Nothing has been done this week either for export or 0
speculation. The sales to-day about 1,500 bags el

letters from St. Michael's, and Mauritius of Dec. 31' 34
A Hamburg mail has arrived, with Papers to the
April. The Exchanges come very flat.
We are without any arrivals of importance this morel,:
and few in number. The statement of our Quarterly ,11,
venue has made its appearance, as well as that for ;‘,
year, both of which are of a very satisfactory nature. ~
have no doubt that this favourable appearance of our co;
mercial affairs will have an effect on the Funds, and C
sols will improve.
