Yesterday was brisk day with the -four
dealers. Between eleven and twelve hun
dred barrels were inspected, the greater part
ofwhich averaged 81 65-Shenandoah brands
81 20 to 75.-The market was steady during
the whole day. Corn is rather dull-we quote
the last sales; but unless vessels arrive soon,
the next will not bring more than 40 cents.
Ertract from letter, dated Hare, .4prH Is
"Our market, owing to the hume
rous arrivals for the last few days, is in
active, and prices are nominal at 80 a
4of. for Georgia, 40 "A for Louisiana.
"Thc adviccs from New-York per
Desdemona, give us TO expect more
cotton than was calculated upon; and
unless England remains very firm, we
NAV have momentary decline.
"Ashes have come down to 43f. IS;
and owing to the great quantities ex-
pected from your port, may still go
lower.
Another account states that "the cot
ton market had been very brisk. Sales
Of Louisiana as high as 40 to IS; Up
lands, 81 10 Al sous-but on the 18th
large sales were effected, to arrire, Of
Uplands at SIS to 36!!. The Louisa's
cargo from Mobile, was sold on that
day at So sous"
Another letterofthe 18th, says, Geor-
gia upland has sold at { 2,5c; and Loui-
sinia at . IS; and it is believed will not
be lower for some time to come.
CoFFEE.-Has lately engaged the at
tention of spectators, from the great
rise at London and on other European
Markets. All the St. Domingo on this
Market was bought up at Il S., for ex-
port, and ii is now at l54 to los, but
none offered for sale, and stock quite
small. The general stock of foreign
Coffee does not exceed 100000 h.,
but change of wind is likely to bring
in a reasonable supply.

The prompt day for the colonial pro-
duce bought at the late highest market
prices, was on Saturday, and notwith-
standing the immense amount, the set
Element went over without any failures;
it was anticipated that many parcels OF
goods bought on speculation would
have been forced on the market for mo-
ney, particularly coffee and spices; the
reverse was however the case; no goods
were offered at any reduction.
Co6se.-St. Domingo is now II to
7ss. The last price Of good ord. Jam.
was So 10 7Os-but the holders are now
asking higher prices for every descrip-
ton for home consumption.

state of great depression, and the pur.
chases are confined to parcels for i'm.
mediate use.

reported. The latest accounts from
Holland state great deficiency in the
stock compared with the previous year
In 1924, it was 2o,775, hhds-lS25,

Torn--Our market, continues to be
very much influenced by an opinion
now very prevalent, that some alter
alton will be made in the Corn laws
this session of parliament--this cir
cumstance, the large supplies, and the
fine weather, have caused further re-
duction of IS per or,
