An oblising friend has permitted =.
to publish the following extract Of q IT, ~

Harre. aug. 10.
The object Of the present is II e;,.
you an idea Of tL' state Of oar mari,
which, We are happy to sag, ha, hso+
gradually recovering itself for s.,a"
weeks PAST. e
One great article. American Cr,to,
is in fair demand. and the stock on h,ns
is so small that there is little appearamcs
OF a d, cline. and it is generally rLorn,.
that thrre will be none until the ns" "s
approach Of the new crop; perhau, mn,
then. as We consider the present r., "'
as abou tie fair ones that ought IA wv
ist in time of peace and resulari,, or
commerce.
T"bacco.-0f this article 1--WE wish
to discourage our friends from shiunis
any Other kind han Virsinia,) We b,,s
never dared to speak with much Conf
dence. But as good Virginias nav
now be bought so low at Richmond and
Petersburg, We should think there eoDld
be In danger in shipping it. Kentucky
and Car0lnas must not be touched. a,
least to ship to Havre.
Rice, is another uncertain article
. which it is best To avoid. The price
here varies excessively, and YOU can
never calculate on your goods arriving
here at the most favorable moment. i
il should be shipped at all, it should be
only at low prices at Charleston and
Savannah.
Pepper.-Whcn this article arrives
here in the best season; say July and
August; it generally sells as well as at
any other port upon the continent, but
when il is out of season the prices de.
cline very much. There IS very little
now here.
Whale Olive have now so many
French whaling ships, that it is not
worth while tn think of shipping it from
the United States. We however some
times obtain fair prices for exporta-
ton.
C"ffte.-This article is now in de-
mand here. and worth so sols flee os
duty 4; say fair st. Doming", and i.ava-
mas. This is generally pretty good
market for Coffee.
lndigo.-This is one of the best mar.
ke's in Europe for Bengal indign-hne
violet and blue is The description that
meets the most ready sale. 1t is now
in demand, and our prices arc much bet.
ter than those of England.
Teas.-Wc have at tunes very fair
demand for Teas, but it is unsteady.
Hyson, hysonskin, souchong. cUngo,
aud campOy, in quarter chests, are tue
best sorts and packages. There is now
considerable inquiry for them for the
smuggIers to England.
Sugars.-Gsod white Benares are al.
most always in demand with US, and
generally command fair prices. We
can oft n afford to pay the heavy duty
imposed upon thi, article, by foreign
ships. and sell them for consumption,
but Our general demand is for the tran.
sit.
American Potash article, that
has been so long perfect drug with US,
is beginning to revive, audit is now ask.
I'd for at 56fr. acqutfte. equal to about
4sf. so free of duty. We do not expect
ever to see this article at such prices
as We have obtained for it in former
years, as tie French make what they
term SOuds faciire. which is a very
strung alkali. ami answers most of the
Ordinar., purposes of American potash.
1t costs ii much less prize.
