REVIEW OF THE MARKETS.
(From Decordova's Mercantile Intelligencer.)
Flour—The dullness which we reported in our last as
pervading the flour market continued until the last few
days, when, owing to a speculative demand, some large
parcels were placed at 26s for New Orleans, 27s to 28s
for Philadelphia, and 27s to 28s for Baltimore. The
stock is still considerable, but holders now demand
higher prices than our quotations.
Meal—The stock is still ample, and a large portion of
the quantity now on hand is not fresh. sales have been
made at 12s and up to 131 6d, and at 14s for best
quality. Since these transactions, however, the specula-
tive demand noticed under the head of flour has had
some effect also on meal, and holders demand stiffer rates.
Rice—Carolina is dull at 193 per 100Ibs. East India
is in demand at 15s; the last sale of good Bengal was
at 15s 6d; of this latter the supply is very light. Ma-
dras sells at 12s to 14s.
Bread—Wattson's has been taken at 15s 6d to 16s per
barrel for Pilot and 18s for Crackers.
Batter—Little has been done in Irish, which may be
quoted dull at lld per lb, with a light stock. American.
which interferes very much with the consumption and
sale of Irish, has gone off at lid to 8d per lb; there is a
large sapply. Halifax is worth 71c1 to 8,1 per lb.
I)Ltrd—The sales of American amount to 1000 kegs at
5d and 100 kegs at ..5 d. During the last few days, how-
ever, these prices have been refused. There is nothing to
report of Irish.
Candles—Large stocks are accumulating, and the arti-
cle is dull. We quote 7d a lid per lb., at which con-
siderable sales have been made, but they are heavy now.
Mackerel—Have advanced, owing to the moderate
supplies sent on. Those brought by the late two vessel,
from Halifax command 22s per barrel fur No. 3. The
stock is now reduced to a small quantity.
Alewives—Last receipt brought 20s per barrel for No.
1. Supplies are wanted.
Soap—The market is bare of soap generally, but more
particularly of Steele's double crown (56 and 601 b boxes).
A lot of 481 b boxes has been sold to arrive, at lls p-r
box. American soap does not appear to find favour
with the trade.
Pork is worth 60s to 62s for prime, and 67s to 70s per
barrel for mess.
Hams—Lancashire are wanted, but in moderate
quantities, as American are more in consumption among
the mass of the consumers, and interfere very much with
the English.
CHEESE.—English commands 9d to 101 per lb.,
American, 6d to 6id.
BEEF—Continues dull of sale. Family mo7es slowly
at 40s to 42s per half barrel.
Pigs' Tongues—There is no demand for Irish, and
American are unsaleable.
Oil—The market is bare of Cod. The last arrivals
readily commanded 2s 6d per gallon.
Malt—Both porter and ale, London bottled, are dull
at 7s 6d per dozen.
Corn— Is very scarce, and the price has advanced from
is 81 to 8s per bag of two bushels.
Salt—We have not heard of any sales. The stock is
very ample.
Lumber—White pine is worth 90s to 95s per M. feet.
Shingles, 18s to 20s per M., afl Jet; and wood hoops, 803
to 1003 per M.
Brandy—Marten's is worth 5s 9d to 63 for dark, and
6s to 6s 61 for pale, per gallon, in bond.
Tobacco--Cavendish (18's) is taken at 7d to Id
per lb.
Rum-2s to 2s 6d for proof 21, and 3d extra per
head, as usual. The Council having rejected the Rum
Duty Bill, the price for consumption and exportation is
the same.
Sugar—The prices range as follows:—Dark, 13s to
13s 6d per 1001bs; middling strong grain, 14s to 153 per
1001bs; fair grocery sorts, 16s to 17s per 100Ib..
Coffee has lately sold at higher prices than were cur-
rent, up to January last.
Pimento-2d to 2i i per lb.

ARRIVAL. OF THE POTTINGER.
The Oriental steamer Puttinger, Captain Cooper,
which has been of late on the China station, arrived at
S.)uths.ropton yesterday. She left Bombay, Oct. 7th;
Cochin, on the Malabar coast, Nov. 7th; Cape of Good
Hope, Jan. 20:h; and St. Helena, Feb. 7th. She has
been ten days in the channel, beating about, and all the
intelligence she brings has been anticipated. She has
come home to be rapaired, and it has been found that
oscillating engines are not adapted for the Indian seas.
The list of passengers presents some melancholy
casualties. Captain Le alert, of the 72d Highlanders,
died at sea. Lieutenant Hunt also, who was tried by
court-martial, and whose case occupied so mach atten-
tian in India, did not live to reach this country. Ensign
Hoyman's name also appears among the list of deaths.
Lieutenant Ross, late of the Madras Native Infantry,
and who was tried by court-martial, and was imprisoned
for eleven months in India, is a passenger in the Pot-
tinger. He jumped overboard during the voyage home,
and is now on board, in close confinement—a confirmed
lunatic.
