GIBRALTAR, SEPT, 10. Referring to
our respects of the esd ult. we beg now
to advise you, that yesterday all the -four
IN our market was bought up at SS 25
per Dbl. from Cadiz, except about 900
bbls. of Alexandria, for which 80 is
now demanded, and will be obtained in
day or two from the bakers, unless arri-
walls should take place; and even if they
do, we think prices will be still support,
ed, as Spain must still be in want-the
effects of the late harvest 10 some parts
OF the country having not ye: been felt,
though the price OF grain has got up
lately considerably"
A letter, dated Matanzas, 5th Oct. re-
ceived in Charleston, says-On account
of the uncommon dry season we have
had, this country corn and rice will be
very scarce; and your rice wil,lof course,
be wanted. Trade is very dull, and
there is no demand for sugar or coffee.
The crop of the latter will not come in
SO soon as was expected.
"A letter from very respectable house
in Havana, dated Oct. S, says-We do
not at present feel bold enough to adj
wise the shipment of articles from your
quarter. Rice has been sold last week
81 S5 IS. Lard and hams very DULL
Fat hogs might do. In all this month,
We are promised TO have new tariff of
duties in which the actual ones are con-
siderably diminished; their maximum is
not to exceed S74 per cent. on two thirds
OF the current market price. The power
ct making ourselves this tariff, is pri.
vilege lately granted 10 us by the cortes.
