principally for expectation, (thc stock of

though scarce, are also in very limited de-

GELS, OF good quality. have been sold. The
quantity, however, has been very inconside-
rabie, as an advance was demanded by many
OF the Holders. to which the Distiiiers have,
under present circumstances, declined to
accede, and it does not appear probable, that
they will purchase with freedom, while our
relations with America are undecided.-.
Our arrivals in the mean time, continue to
be abundant. and the aggregate amount, re
ceived since the beginning of this year. is
not less than II 900 brls. The demand for
laris very little. If at all, improved not
more than 27s q 29s per brl. would be given
by the Dealers. even for small parcels.
The thin qualities have, of late, been in some
request. and, from the trifling quantity in
the market, that description has actually be-
come more valuable than the thick & roany
his very unusual circumstance arises from
the great scarcity of Swedish Tar, which,
being generally thin. was well adapted to
particular purposes, for which American is
DOW the only substitute. The partial inqui
ry, which we have noticed, is accustomed
principally by the tenor of the last ad
wees from Sweden. by which, our sop

carious. That Kingdom, it appears, has
ultimately ac6eded to the Continental Sys
tenn, IN its fullest latitude, and an edict has
been issued, declaring all commercial in
tcrcourse with Great Britain to be finally
closed.
The prices of fine Quercitron Bark are
fuily supported, as the arrivals are very
and scarcely adequate to
supply the demand for Dyers use. For the
other descriptions, there is not much inquiry

we are inclined to believe, that parcel of

from France and Holland, since the LIST of
January last, have been very large, fully
equal TO 2S7 900 quarters, whereas during
the same period, the inland supplies have
been very limited, being only about rs 600
quarters. ii cur Foreign arrivals should
continue as extensive as they have hitherto
been, and, more especially, if the ports of
the Baltic should be opened, we may ex
