to continue for many months, in conse-

even at that price it would be difficult
to find purchasers for any quantity
Our produce has risen greatly inprices

still higher

81 arrived here from Buenos Ayres
on the 18th ult. and finding it impossi-
BILE to dispose Of my cargo, which con-
sisted principally Of -four, was under
the necessity of storing it. Sales OF
this article are at present entirely out
of the question; and the stock on hand
is SO very great in proportion to the
consumption, that l do not look for any
improvement in this market, unless
the impulse should be communicated
from abroad. The quantity now here
may be fairly calculated at forty thou
sand barrels. Hides have risen here
to 50 reals the pesada, and at Buenos
Ayres to so. Jerked beef Ssh on board.
