Advises from Jamaica are to the 11th insf., but
they contain noshing of importance. Trade was
unusually dull. The public health was generally
good. The weather was exceed ngly dry flr the
season of the year. Cordova's Mercantile In,telli-
gencer of the 11th says :
" The improvement noticed in our last report was
steadi y maintained during the past fortnight, and, ow-
ing to the small supply of some articles, an advance in
prices is to be noticed in our present review. Fish stuffs
have been very scarce, and the first cargo arriving will
realize high rates. There is little to be said of produce.
Very scanty supplies of coffee and the absence of pi-
mento, together with the low prices quoted for sugars
in the English markets, have caused a want activity
hire, and there has been but very 114 k) done. The
money-market remains stringent, the banks offering no
facilities, refusing to discount, except for (Ica/sage.
" Exchanges on London—Colonial and Jarna.ica
Banks.-90 days, A per cent, premium ; 60 days, 1 per
cent. premium ; 30 days lA per cent. premium. Com-
missariat Bills, J per cent. premium."
