Fgau.--Wo understand that on Saturday il xu,s
supposed there were ffom 10000 to 10000 barrels
on hond-say, about $1,000 of Howard street and
10000 of wharf This however is considered n
small stock for the season. The quantity inspected
last week was upwards of &c 600 barrels; ard ON Sa-
urday sales were made from the stores of about 1000
narrcis, ut ;! 20, mostly Howard street; the wharf
however, sold at the same price. The Gales from
