received on the state of the markets :—" The markets, with a
very few exceptions, have presented an exceedingly gloomy
aspect tins week ; almost every department of trade is in a
most distressing state, and there is nearly a total cessation
of business. The trades in whom confidence can be placed
cannot be induced to purchase beyond their actual necessities
though most articles rate below cost price. Several houses
continue to press their merchandise into the market by the
hammer, which has generally gone off at an immense sacri-
fice. The accounts from all the towns of the interior are of
an uniform depressed position, nor do they anticipate an early
improvement. Importations from the United Kingdom still
continue adding to our stocks, of which the markets are fully
supplied. No alteration need be expected in commercial
matters
till confidence is restored. The transactions during
he week have been principally for cash, and no price can
Possibly be affixed to any article."
