at lower prices.
Foartox Suoaas.—Very little doing in consequence of holders
demanding higher prices.

mingos, which had supported their quotations better than any other
sort, have at length declined, and are. consequently, quoted & to
3s. per cwt. lower. Good middling Jamaica 935. to 945. middling •
and low ditto 701. to 80s. the inferior aorta were mostly taken.—
St. Domingo sold at 60s. 6d. to 625. The reduction in the stock is
in favour of an improvement, and many are of opinion that the ar-
tick will revive.

SPIRIT&—The market for Brandy and Rum continues dull;
prices without alteration. To-day there have been several inquiries
for Rum, but the:market continues flat.
market for Timber and Deals is pretty brisk, and
prices rather higher.

been transacted.—German Wools maintain the same prices, but the
Spanish Wools have receded in proportion to the reduction of duty.

vance of ls. per cwt. Foreign Butter also in demand. Bacon bas
declined 2s. per cwt. Beef and Pork are rather higher, in conse-

of no information being yet received of the Davis' Straits Fishery.
Seed Oils are dull.

which have found ready buyers. The quality of the Hops is con•
sidered good, and the only complaint is, that they are discoloured.
