prices; yesterday the Market resumed a different appear-
ance, from the accounts received of the crops from Jamaica
being of a still mere unfavourable nature, and the proba-
bility of the usual importation falling off much more than
was at first expected, the buyers became rather more eager
to purchase (none holding large stocks) and is. per cwt.
