i'S s''iiitsLtSu SOCOn, WHICH was
| experienced during the last fortnight i'm March,
has continued through the past month, the total
sales OF which amounted TO 1850 bales, of
American descriptions,-the trade have been the
principal buyers, about 1000 bags only (chehy
| i5owcds) having been taken on speculations -
notwithstanding the large business that has not
been found practicable to establish any improve
rnent of moment, and our prices are now not
more than Id per lbhighcr than they were on the
| lst ult. The market, however, is very firm I'M
der the impression that we shah not receive as
much this year as last, and so far such has been
the case, our import mp to the present time be-
ing 14,244 bales less, while our sales arc IG $50
more.
The sales of Tobacco last month, consisted of

little export demand, no immediate Improvement
| In the value of Tobacco seems probable, unless
some speculation should be excited by our very
reduced rates.

about the middle ofthc month large public sale
OF Montreal A.hes was announced, nearly all of
which was disposed of though at considerable
eduction, and established prices which were her

The great decline In the price of Rice has
caused some purchasers to come forward, and
sales of very good and fine qualities have been
made at the low rate of Is Cd per cwt. for new
Carolina. The import this month has been 1865
casks, and our stock of both old and new is very
hcayy.-Thcre have arrived 1924 barrels of
Flour during the month of April, the price of
