at all, do not know. A before ooser-
we'd, all our dealers are 70 largely sup
piled that the demand is only to supply
retail customers, and they are very tas-
tidious as to quality. The quantity OF
-four that has arrived within a few days
being wholly unexpected. has upset all
my calculations and plans for the dis.
posal Of the previously existing stock.
We are now largely supplied TOR t" b
months, the La Plata, Lima, and Cape
of Good Hope, prospects ale no better.
l trust no further shipments will be
made for at least 4 months. The mar
ket for all other articles is little b tier
than for -four. Salt finds ready sale,
and perhaps W i continue in favor for
some months. Wines and orandies
are also readily taken off, but a large
quantity is on the way and the price
will be rendered a, 40 IN. SO IN. o.
perhaps in the course OF months.
Produce is in active demand.
