On the date of our last publication the mar

and sales Of Genesee, Ohio, and Michigan
were made al a reduction of - cents per bbl.;
purchasers for export 10 England and the West
Indies then came forward, and some 1000 bbls
Genesee were taken al Sc and perhaps about
the same quantity of handsome Michigan, in
fat hoops, S5,87; round hoop Ohio could then
r. have been purchased at 1915, and flat al So
81. On Monday and Tuesday there was more
firmness and this decline was recovered, and
although the article was rather quiet than oilier-
wise al the enhanced prices demanded, yet
500 bbls round hoop Ohio were taken for the
West Indies at S5 81; 800 very good brands

Liverpool at Sc; and 700 better than common
brands Genesee, at So Is. Holders of COM

that from all that | was able TO ascertain at the

81 900 90 was remaining in the hands of Ex-
Treasurers. requested Nh. Bush, late Treasur-
er to render an account Of redemption monies re-
ceived by him during his term of Office, but he
refused to do so;-neithcr could | prevail upon
my colleagues, Messrs Mackey & Staples, 10 90 in
to settlement with the Ex-Treasurer concerning
the monies received by him on unseated lands.
] now earnestly request MeSsrs. Storm & Bush,
to examine page 20I of Purdons Digest, 9Th edi-
ton, by George Stroud, where they will find the
act of assembly recorded, which expressly says,
that it shall be the duty Of EX-Trersurers TO pay
over all redemption monies on unseated lands to
their Successors in office, and after convincing
themselves Of the duty they have overlooked, or
neglected, TO pay over the same at once To the
present Treasurer with interest thereon. Such
a course will save the Auditors much trouble AT
the next annual settlement, besides showing q
