and 114 for exportation, leaving 378 hhds for the home-trade.

is no prospect of any further importation for some months.

the privileges granted to the French Company, which will, at any
rate, lead to the protraction of the settlement of this question.
The sales of the week have been about 300 tons, at stiffer prices.
