STATE OF THE MARKET.
PHILADELPHIA, .Fatly 1.-THE revolution
in the prices Of merchandise of every de-
scFiptiol have been great since the re-
tu9n Of peace--but the equilibrium which.
IA regular and uninterrupted commerce
produces, Is not yet re-established. The
Ssant of foreign manufactured goods Was
- great, that the value of n,anv mil
ions thereof which reached our sea ports
sinoe the first Of May, were landed, sold
lad distributed with a ramdity almost in-.
|Gredibie, and with proportional advar.

they passed. 'ihe spring sales Of this
season have therefore been probably great

appropriations from France have not been
near adequate TO the demands, for which
reason many articles particularly brandy,
sell at a very advanced price. The PRO
|ductions from the Mediterranean are
'nuch in the same situation what little
has as yet been imported from thence.

Drugs remain scarce, and no regular rr;-
Iess canbe furnished until some arrivals
shall fix the market.
importations from Germany, which
have just commenced to make their ar
|pearance, are likely to continue very
profitable. Linens. particularly of the
Fcearser kind, are not as brisk as might
have teen eyrected--the reason for Which
NAV he found in the circumstance. that
Tue Improvements in domestic as well as
foreisn cotton manufactured goods, have
enabled the proprietors thereof to intro

for linens at much cheaper rate.
India goods remain high, and find a
quick sale, as the sale ol several parcels
.yhich reached our market second hald-
