at this port, commercial accounts from Pernambuco to
the 18th of March have been received.

Sugar—The receipts from the interior have been
largo. In the early part of the month want of money
checked the usual amount of business; but since then
favourable advices from Rio Janeiro have tended to sup-
port prices, and many holders have made considerable
shipments to that port, paying the high freight of 40s.
per ton. The quotations for sugar in bags are 18s. Bd.
to 20s. 11d. for four to first quality white, and at 13s.
for muscovado; cases are but little demanded, but small
sales were effected at 18s. ld. for four best whites, and at
1 ls. 7d. for first quality muscovado. Several holders,
however, refused to sell except at higher rates.
Cotton—Little change can be noticed in this article.
The receipts have been small, but owing to the reduction '
in freight, and four or five vessels loading for Liverpool,
the rates are a shade higher, viz., 4 9-10 d. to 10d.
Hides ruled from 2id. to 3d. per lb.
Freights ruled at 375. 6d. per ton, and per lb. for
cotton to Liverpool. The quotation to Channel for
orders is 605., and 10s. more to the Continent, as far as
Hamburgh.

be made to the Secretary to the Health of Towns Asso-
ciation for the names of the persons who had made state-
ments with respect to the sanitary condition of the city
