WEST INDIA MARKETS.
(From De Cordova's alercantile Intelligencer.)
KINGSTON, JAMAICA, JUNE 12 -Our market has benen.
rather quiet during the past turtnight, and psrireasdyg im-
rely have been very well supported. The
provement observable in the article of codfish is to be
attributed mainly to the circumstance of there having
teen but one arrival from Halifax since our last, after
t _ interval of 19 days-e fact which has
,vt.ergided, in a
great measure, to c mfirm the report whit
of
ore;alent
fish se the
here at that date, rerding improbability of
ports of shipment, and the scarcity
the eonssquent
our market being glutted, as it has been heretof ire,
with Nova Scotian imports, at least until the new catch
shall have been prepared for shipment.
Breadstuffe continue for the west part neglected, and
as the late rains will have the effect of forwarding the
crept' of native vegetables, we do not perceive soy imme-
diate likelihood of the occurrence of an
improved demand
for the imported articles. The advance in 'he price of
Corn meal is, we are inclined to consider, only a tem-
porary one. which would be lost on the arrival of any
considerable vantity of that article.
Produce-ssugars generally have been dealt in to a
v fair extent, both for shipment and the home trade;
Ilehrt- there Ilea been a freer inquiry for the lower grades
for home use than for the finer qualities, and they have
carrineanded comparatively higher pr:ces than the latter.
Hutu has been less active, the heavy stock of brands,
which are not usually selected for exportation, having
tended to depress prices. Pimento is in small supply,
arid the new crop, which it is anticipated will be untie
sillily large, will not be brought to merket until August
at earliest. The coffee crop is almost exhausted, and
the stock at market is unimportant.
The rains have very generally ceased, and the oppor-
tueity has been seized to take off the remainder of the
crops, the gatherieg in of which had been interrupted by
the May season.
Fleur-The only wholesale transaction since our last
has been the disposal of 500 barrels new Baltimore at
28s. Some small operations, summoning up about 200
barrels of ns.xed sorts, have been also effected at 28s 6d
to 293. Tile market is heavily stocked, and as the trade
find that small parcels are readily obtainable at a small
advance on wholesale prices, there is of course little or
no speculative feeling in existence. A parcel of 150 bar-
rels ofd sour fleur has been moved at 254 per barrel.
Meal-The price of new has improved under the re-
stricted receipts, but the rather large qu .ntity of old at
market interferes to soma extent with the dem intl for
the former, of which there have been sates at 15s. to
16s. per barrel. It is now, however, very generally held
for 18s.
Rice... Both East India and Carolina are in large
supply, with a ver limited inquiry. B. ngal has been
moved at 143. and Paine at 164. per 100 lb. 120 bags
a" a few tierces and half tierces Carolina have changed
hands at 17s.
Butter-The market for this article is drooping.
Irish is difficult of sale at 12d., and Halifax at 9d. per
lb. American may be quoted at Bd. to 9d., according to
qaality.
Bread-The operation in Wattson's have been con-
fined to retail transactions at 18s. for pilot and 225. for
crackers. A lot of very good crackers and pilot bread,
of New York manufacture, has changed hands at 16s. and
143. per barrel respectively.
Mackerel have been in smaller demand than any other
description of pickle., fish-the general inferiority of
the stock at market, and more especially the thinness of
the fish, having tended to restrict the demand. The
operations in No. 3 Faye been principally at 215., but
some sales have been effected at 255. Holders are now,
however, demanding 265. per barrel.
Herrings-Receivers' hands have been very nearly
cleared under the curstinued good demand and large
censumption alluded to iu our last. Several hundred
barrels No. 1, round, were disposed of at 175., and some
operations were effected at 183., at which rate the article
is now held.
Alewives are still rather unsaleable; they may be
quoted at 18s. to 19s. per barrel.
Oil-Cod has somewhat improved since our last,
taxing to the cessation of arrivals. The article is or-
vertheless in small inquiry, but holders are firm at 2s. 6d.
per gallon. The sates during the fortnight were effected
at 23. 3d., 2s. 4d., and 2e. 6 I.
Lard-We quote American at 611. t ) 7d.
Codfish- the trade have come tat ward rather freely,
ender the impression that the stuck will not be imme-
dietely augmented. In the early part of the fortnight
holders submitted to 12;. to 13s. for cask, but as the
supply became reduc,d, they succeeded in obtaining
13s. 61 to 143., at which latter rate the article is now
ti: nly held. Boxes have been taken at 164. to 17s.
Several parcels of old ce.,k fish have ben moved, at
unction and otherwise, at Bs. to 12s. per 100:ba , accord-
ing to quality.
Pork-A parcel of 150 barrels has changed hands at
763. per barrel. Mess is moved at 92;. in small gaited-
ties. The consumption of both descriptions is greatly
checked by the existing high rates. The stock is light.
The receipts of this article, from the Ist January, 1851,
to this date, are 1,900 barrels leas than they were during
the same period last year.
Hams-English are very inactive, at 9d.; American
are worth sd. to 7d. per lb., according to quality.
Salmon may be quoted as follows-No. 1, at 725.;
No. 2, at 685.; No. 3, at 645. per barrel.
Soap-Tne stock of all sorts is enormous, with little
or no demand. Steele's, especially, is represented as being
very inactive.
Candles-The greater portion of the supply at market
is now in the bands of speculators, who are s ndeavour-
ing to force up prices. Several large parcels have
changed hands at sd. to 6J., according to assortment
and brand.
Cheee-There have been sales of D. G. at I Id. to Is,,
mid of American at sd. to 60. per lb. Thu stock is
new ample.
Lumber-W. P. is in ahun lane supply, a; are also Ce -
press Shingles. Cedar Shingles are still scarce, as is
likewise Pecripine Lumber. Nu operutions of any mo-
ment have transpired.
Beef-American is worth 465. to 48,. per half barrel.
Toegu s-Irish piss have been moved at 50s. to 523.
per half barrel.
Brandy-Is in immense supply, and very limited in-
quiry. There hay..- been sales vi Mart,li's and Henes-
sey's dark aid pale, in bond, at ss. 6.1. in small quanti-
ties, but we learn fleet 9 hogsheads of the former have
changed hands at 54. 3d. per gallon.
Geneva-Ie worth per case in bond.
Corn-The market is greatly over stocked, and prices
have declined proportionately. We have heard of sale(
to the extent of 750 big; Blltim,,re at 63. sa. South
Amorican is being placed at 3e 61 per busbeL
Rum-Ton business has been restricted to small ope-
rations, at 38. 40. to 33. 6d. per galluu fur consumption.
The stock is large.
Sugar-We range our quotations at 16s. to 19e. for
dark to fair.
Coffee-The crop has been very nearly all got in, and
there are now very few parcels at market. Ordinary
may be quoted at 303. to 325. per 1001 b.
Pimento-Sume small lots, the remainder of the old
crop, have changed hands at 4ift. to 411. per lb.
Logwood is being offered at 36 per ten, but there is
little doing in the article.
Freights-In consequ_nce of the csmparative scarcity
of tonnage, and the circumstance that some rether large
quantities of produce have been lying here waiting the
means of conveyance to Great Britain, higher rates of
freight have been obtained than had been current for
some time. previ.,udy.
Gold-Columbian doubloons are worth five le r cent.
pietaium. American gold has been takeu to a rather
large extent at t per cent.
Malt-Bottled is very inactive; Lane's Cork stout is
placed at 80a. per Wei.
Salt-Liverpool stored commands 43. 6d. to ss. per
sack.

Tobacco—Cavendish, which had been selling at 121.,
has been since offered at that rate and declined. The
stock is very large. No sales of leaf have transpired.
