sailing Of the Sheffield on the Sd inst has been on
extensive scale, and prices have advanced fully
three halfpence per pound, with every prospect OF
further advance The sales for the week ending sth
March average less than 81 900 bales for the week
ending 18th inst 100 bales, and for the present
week including today, $40 bales. Sales 10 such
extent have never been known for three success

ed very freely, still the trade having been alarmed
by the continued accounts Of short crops and the
certainty Of light shipments, entered freely into the
market and made large purchases.
