GENERAL REMARKS.
A good deal of firmness has been evinced during the
past fortnight by holders of dry and pickled fish. We
regret, however, that we cannot report any great im-
provement in breadstuffg. A slight speculative feeling
suddenly manifested itself during the early part of the
fortnight, under which upwards of 2,000 barrels Balti-
more flour were disposed of; but it has suddenly sub-
sided, and the market relapsed into its previous quiet
state. The sate, however, of so large a parcel has had
the effect of creating a better feeling for the article, not-
withstanding that the supply it.: importers' hands is still
considerable.
The sugar market is heavy, and the trade are endea-
vouring to effect a reduction in the prices of the lower
qualities; holders are, however, firm, us there are buyers
for shipment at better rates than home dealers are will-
ing to gwe. Ruin is in good inquiry for export. We
notice a somewhat slackened demand for ordinary
Coffee.

We may state with confidence that it is not just now
contemplated to make any r.lterations in the Import
Duty Bill, as the revenue derived under it forms an im-
portant item in the calculations of the finance com-
mittee, whose amended report is now before the Holm
of Assembly.

wilds. Male and female artistes have also been engaged fer
a highly interestinwb series of tableaux vivans, illustrative of
some of the most admired prize medallions of the Industrial
Exhibition. The pyrotechnic displays, by the Chevalier

his friends with that liberality and good taste which are ever
conspicuous in his undertakings.
