REMARKS.
" In our preceding printed letter, we
had the pleasure 10 anticipate the return oi
regular commerce, which event being now
! happily realized, VIZ sit down with great
satisfaction 10 renew our prices of, and re-
marks On, American produce at this mar
! ket; and, although general reduction in
currency has been consequent thereon, yet
! the returns now to be made, viii 10 doubt
be more satisfactory than higher ones, Oh

I" In respect to ashes-,he demand for
peal has been for some time past very H.
mit1d, hut sufficient to keep pace with the
late uncertain supplies, and no considerable
stock had accumulated. OF pot ash, the
market pre-, ious to the recent arrivals, was
quite cleared, at good prices for exporta.
ton; bar, IN consequence of some obstina-
! cy between the two governments, as regard
ed the articles to be admitted respectively,
the granting of French licences has been
suspended, and their renewal being uncer-
/ tain, that vent is for the present closed !;
but we still think the annexed currency. or
| nearly SO, will be maintained, unless the
supplies are immoderate.
. ne same cause has also given a serl,
Gus check 70 the sales of logwood. which
was an admitted article of export; & good
c2mpeachy wood In bond, was up TO $751;
per ton. The price is now UNCERTAIN and
rapidly declining, and nothing but renew
Cd export will keep it above 2OL or 21L per
ton. Grain and -four, on the contrary have
been benefited, and are in steady demand
at our quotations, with every appearance Of
maintaining them. Rice is not expected TO
90 oeiow our quotations.
Cotions having fallen to very reason
able prices, the demand lately has been
brisk, ana we do not look for any farther
depression OF moment, particulars in New
Orleans and Georgia y plands, Of fair aud
good Quality. Bark is fast declining, and
Its price just now uncertain. Clover seed
continues to be sought after, short supply
tor next season being apprehended from the
excessive diJ'ness ofthe weather. For flax
seed here IL no demand but for crushing,
and its price svery low.
Ia naval stores here is very dull mar
ket, turPentine being reduced to very low
ebb, and no prospect of Improvement. Tar
continues in better state, owing to our
supplies from the North of Europe being
so very precarieus and we expect 25s. per
barrel, or upwards WILDE supported for the
present.
g Our stock of tobaccoes has or,ate been
constantly augmenting, and the demand be-
ing no way equal thereto, the market is
greatly depressed, and prices have in con-
sequence been almost daily going lower.
6 The sales Of timber and lumber have,
until within these few days, been very live.
ly; but the arrivals already from the u.
States, under the new state of things, hav-
ing been considerable, and further ones
daily expected, pause in the market has
succeeded, and consequent reduction of
about I'D. to sd. per foot on price Of pine,
and on other articles in proportion; we
confidently anticipate, however, that should
any further decline occur, the demand will
SO far revive, as to hold prices within tri-
fe of the present rates, which may be con.
sidered very favorable to the shipper"
