the papers, and THIS fear has no doulI had
a very strong influence on the price OF ever
article merchandise, and whatever you
do, as connecie,i with tnis rountiy, YOU
shcuih make your own calculations, as TO
lis effect. The price Of coffee has gone
down from ZOOS. TO 3cs. Tobacco, ashes,
and naval stores are all very dull at our
