From the present demand on the part
of consumers, we think We might cal
culate on some improvement, knowing
as we do now that your explorations
are put stop to for our port, and that
our stock will be daily decreasing; but
unfortunately English spectators hold
a great portion of that stock, and are
altogether governedby the advices they
receive from Liverpool, which are quite
discouraging, and lead them to effect
sales at whatever prices they can OBJ
tain, SO that we think our market still
too unsettled to say how prices will ul-
timately rule. Ashes are again dull,
we have about 1900 barrels at market.

Which sum, divided among the eight

1t will be perceived, that, excluding
the loans, the annual average receipts,
