BORDEAUX, yin Dept. l8lE
SIR,
Since mine of 9th uIt. very considerable
sales have been effected in sugars and cotfs,.
at advanced prices.
Indigo, pearl ash. cod fish, deer skins. b..
enos Ayres hides, rice ard cochlneal, are Of
ready sale at the prices quoted. Little / &
been done in ccttoDs, on accoun! OF the larca
public s.ies soon to take place at Antwerp n
government account. the general opnh ,
IS, however, that the article will rather ri,c
than decline in price.
We are anxious to learn the Issue Of tie
present discussion between the United States
and Eagl.nd, as it will determine what trade
you may have with this continent
Our objects of expectation remain at low
rates, especially silks.
October Since the date Of the above, the
duties on hides have been reduced to l6 francs
per quintal, and rice twenty-eight Confines
only AS the last crop of wheat has proved
very scanty, the prices have risen very con.
sderabIy-; it is now at % to % francs, per
boisseau, equal to 2 II American bushels,
and flour is % to 63 francs per our barrel of
200 lbs. In consequence this government has
issued few licences freeing the consignee
from the obligation of exporting goods for the
nett proceeds Of rice; he may remit either in
merchandise or bills of exchange. Rice, ike
all productions of the United States, may be
imported without icence, but the contrcva-
Ieur must be exported two thirds in silks
| 1t is hoped that Mr.. Barlow may succeed in
changing this regulation, and in obtaining
reduction Of duties on cotton, SC.
