A greater breadth of land has been appropriated to the
growth of POTATOES in this district than for some seasons
past; we are informed that in some places the amount,
compared with last year, has been quadrupled.
No improvement has taken place in the market for
Scotch Pig IRON, and the business transacted in it has
been limited. Some heavy sales have been made at Glat-
gow within the last few days. No. 1 may be quoted at

The TIMBER TRADE here has been remarkably dull
during the week, and the country demand particularly
low. Some cargoes of Quebec Pine, forced upon the
market, have been taken by the merchants at the follow-
ing rates.—A cargo of good Quebec, at 14!d per ft. ;
another at 13d. per foot; 4 others at 13d. per foot; with
Elm at 16d. ; and Red Pine, at 19d. per foot. 10m.

The public sale of Wool which took place here on the
30th ult. drew together a very large attendance of buyers,
and on the whole gave great satisfaction. About 300
bales of Australian were offered and sold with great spirit,
at prices fully equal to those lately sold in London. The
greater portion of the East India was taken at former
rates. There were 100 bales fine Entre Rios brought for-
ward, which attracted much attention, and were all sold
at prices varying from Bd. to 13,!..d. per lb. The Buenos
Ayres was almost all withdrawn at once, in consequence
of the limits being too high. 3259 bales were offered, of
which 2056 were withdrawn. Imports of foreign for the
week, 1301 • previously, 17,703 ; total, 19,004; Imports

From Paris the business letters contain nothing to cal 1
for remark, except the continued decline in the shares of
the Bank of France, which are now quoted at 1,200 f. Just
before the revolution the price was 3,195 f. By a decree of
the Provisional Government, the notes of the banks of
Lyons, Rouen, Bordeaux, Nantes, Lille, Marseilles, Havre,
Toulouse, and Orleans, are to be received as legal money
by the public coffers and private persons in the several de-
partments in which those banks are situated; until fur-
ther orders, the same banks are exempted from the obli-
gation of reimbursing their notes with cash. The Moni-
teur contains the follnwing decree respecting the payment
of commercial bills :—Tbe Provisional Government having
taken cognizance of the decree of the Ist of March, which
has prorogued for ten dayi the echeance of commercial
bills due from February 22 to the 25th of March, and con-
sidering that the ordinary delay of fifteen days is insuffi-
cient in the present circumstances, and that besides it is
useful to the endorsers to effect, without exposure, the
reimbursements which weigh upon them, on the report of
the Minister of Justice, decrees that the delay of fifteen
days granted to the holders of bills is prolonged tor fifteen
days more, not including the delays of distance, that all
conservatory acts done previously continue good and
available.
