ssaf6ced, but there has been and still con-,
!tinues an export demand for the conti-
Inent, which, during the last and present
|month, has contributed in a great de-
gree to sustain prices. The Irish mar
lkets too have mainly partaken in their
|.cpplies from Liverpool, and this market
Imay be considered as the elnporiam or
common resort for the articles Of ashes
Throughout O. Britain. In this point of
view, the extent Of our supplies will lose
something Of their inportance--and the
|more So, as. during last week alone, our
sales have exceeded $500 barrels. With
IA view, however. to form some opinion
lof the course which markets are likely
Ito take, we have to state ON the one
Ihand the limited employment given at
this time to the bleachers, their works
being barely half employed, and hence
Ia praportioaate dimunition in their use
LOT ashes. AnotheF cause to affect the
lprice of ashes is asrespects Canada, and
Ibutfor the immediatecail from the con
ltinent It is more than probable that the
Markets here would have receded mate
lrially under an apprehension OF large
supplies by our Quebec and Montreal
iships, OF which few have yet arrived. On
tine other hand, as We have noticed a.
Iboye, large drains have been made from
four stock clashes for foreign markets TO

lder fhat prices here are no longer pros

merchants Wilde induced to try other

Twill be seen, that circumstances war
