this week, and submitted to reduced rates for all descriptions,
There has been a large quantity brought forward, far exceed-
ing the wants of the trade, who are not disposed to take
more than their immediate wants require, notwithstanding
the moderate rates that prevail. For Black there has been
a falling off in the demand, and merchants generally are
more inclined to sell, on account of the recent heavy impor-
tations.
