good, ordinary, 26 a &c l2 gs; superior
descriptions, 81 81 gs. The new crop
coming into Market just now, may keep the
article ationary for little while but the
opinion that prices will be higher yet to-
wards autumn, gains more and more ground
with men of information. Serious consi-
deraiion is certainly due 10 the facts, that
coffee has become in Germany almost as
indispensable as bread stuff; that our mar
ket on the present peace establishment, re-
ouires about 10 OF 100000 lbs. annu-
ally; and that little more than 100000
has been imported since the lst January,
including what has come in two vessels
;s,t arrived from St. Domingo. We must
therefore, rely this season on liberal share
in the usual re-exportation from the United
States. Teas are maintaihed-some mid
ding Tyson of last years Importation has
been sold at the high price Of l 3-8 rs
l-2 could be obtained for prime. OF
black teas, we have received small sup
ply from Baltimore, being about 800 chests
souchong and campoy, ofthe United States
cargo, which. in all appearance, will be
sold al an advance on the auction prices on
your side. We have sold 80 chests rhu-
barb, of the same cargo, at the profitable
price of Sc rs per ID although large
proportion was spungy and worm-eaten.-
Some cassia has arrived also-the price is
81 60 gs yet. A small parcel of short
yellow nankeens of ordinary quality, has
been sold at IS 81 greats. Rum is quo
ted as follows New England and Havana,

20 a 90; but these prices would of course
be affected by retrograde movement in the
English market. Arrack has receded 10
100 $50 as in quality. In pepper, there
has been stir rather uncommon at this sea-
son Of the year. and the price has advanced
to II 1-e 10 gs. Pimento Is al9 gs TO

The arrivals of Carolina rice, have been
heavy here and al neighboring ports, di-
rect from France--the price is II rs per

and but little can be disposed Of in this pro-
portion, while we have wheat to spare 1876

done on low lands by an nundation, quite
extraordinary in the month Of May. Some
supplies Of Tobacco have reached us-of

but assortments Of ordinary, to good ordi-

estimate Of the new crop we now have 10
look for, at $1,000 hhds to prove correct,
we would think that high prices can, by
proper management and repetition Of ship |
ments between this port and Holland, be !
maintained for the next le month yet. In |!
Virginia, and similar descriptions Of To-
bacco, we observe but little alteration. Of |
the light and poor kind, we generally get
more than can be sold to advantage, and |
the price is 10 12 l3 gs only; whereas
ich and heavy tobacco is always wanted,
and even what cannot be rated more than
ordinary TO good-ordinary in the kind,
sells at 5 81 gs. Sound Virginia stems,
are 10 1-2 IL IA rs; $50 hhds have late
ly arrived from James river.
