81 had last this pleasure on the 22d Dec.
last year, since when have not had the
advantage to hear from you. Our market,
| am sorry to say, holds out but little en-
couragealent, yet bad as it is, it will bear
an advantageous comparison with every
other continental market as to prices and
with most of them as to extent OF sales;
and will take for example the month OF
February viz:
Cofee-imported $50 tons, sold about $50
Sugar, Brazils do 20 bbIs DO 5S7
Havana do 1899 boxes do 220
Loaf do III hhds do ll8
Crushed do 347 do do 1876
Cocoa, Maranham do 826 sacks do 100
Cotton Wool Beng. 293 bales do 800
Indigo Al cases y ser, 40 III
Rum do $50 punch. DO ~
And our stock On hand the lst of this
month for several Of our leading imports was
as follows:
Coffee about 200 tons--Sugar 1000 do
Caracas and Trinidad Cocoa ESQ sacks
.Maranhsm do 1850 sacks-Lignia Cassia
gao cases-Bengal Cotton 1890 bales-ln-
Olga 10 chests and seroons-Nankeens
llooo pieces-B. A. Hides GALL interior}
334o-Pepper 500 company's baies-Su-
matra do 1870 bags-Jamaica Pimento lao
do-Rum $50 puncheons-Ginger 243o
sacks.
Most of our holders of Coffee shew
great anxiety to sell, and have run OF large
quantities within few days-Ihe price OF
tins article has for some time followed the
fluctuations OF the English Market--Ihe
brig Ontario from Salem brought 27oo
bags.
The season OF greatest consumption o.
sugar is now at hand, but our stock is SO
formidable we cannot expect much i'm
provement IN price. Within the last few
days have run off about ESQ boxes white
Havanas Tor part Of which obtained 4ot
per br. taking proportion OF cheap and
good German linens in part payment am
in daily expectation OF Cargo OF yellow
Havannas. besides which ! am not aware
of any quantity Of Sugar seing expected.
Rum is unusually dull he little that
was sold last month was by myself at "A pr
gallon for Jamaica OIL proof. whist there
is such an abundance of good Rum in mar
ket would not recommend any New-Eng-
land being sent.
Bengal Cotton WOOL is of very difficult
sale; 57lhas been refused fora parcel which
is 1 believe still on hand, ana for which
they would now be lucky to obtain 4ot
per br.
b. A. Hides Of good quality are scarce
and wanted, and should arrive here about
September.
You will observe that our Exchange on
London is favorable to RENTERS.
