The Brandy Market is still in a very depressed state ; the

considerable, they consist of 40 Bengal, mid. 6-kci.; 180 Surat,
good ord. to good 51d. a 7td. ; 320 Madras, good ord. to fair
NA. a 6id.
Inisn Pnovislosis.-The deficiency of the stock of Butter
in the London, Liverpool, Bristol, and other Markets, with
the general opinion that the quantity in the hands of the
Irish merchants and farmers is usually small, have caused
the prices to go so high that nothing but the full employ-
ment of the lai,ouring class of all descriptions could prevent a
great fall off in the consumption. The cheesemongers of Lon-
don, who are a very active class o:( men, and cannot remain
idle, appear inclined now to turn Ovir attention to Bacon,
which beyond doubt will advance materially. Lar in great
request ; but few holders, and those very sanguine.d Water-
ford Butter 86s. on board. Carlow 90s.
