COMMERCIAL.
The London produce markets have been
marked by good deal of business. The home
trade is active, but as the supply is LIBERAL and
merchants me forward with their goods free
ly, prices have been receding. The Govern
ment contract for 900 gallons of Rum,
half OF the quantity West India, has been TAX
en- by Messrs. Lemon & Co. at very low f.
CURE In the manufacturing districts business
is less active, but there is nothing to indicate q
permanent falling off in the demand.
The last steamer, it will be remembered,
sailed an hour OF two after the explanations in
Parliament respecting the Oregon question:
when the detention the packet, to carry out
these explanations, was buzzed about, the Cot
ton market felt the influence of the warlike
rumor, which prevailed; and previous to her
nirrl Il
business, at improved prices, was transacted
and advance of an eighth, and in some instan-
ces OF iarthing, was secured During the
early part OF the week following her departure
the excitement continued, but it was of brief
duration, and has been followed by a cores
pondlng depression. The subsequent advices,
winch the New York packets brought, respect
ing the amount of the last crop, had sedative
effect; they sent the market back trfe; and
the arrival OF the Cambria, on Sunday with
later intelligence, has put an end to Fpecula-
ton altogether. Still, the trade buy regular
ly; and If there is an absence of excitement
so, on the other hand, there is steady and
uniform demaHd-and this, too, in the face of
the Manchester yarn market being very mani
mate. Matters will probably remain in this
state until 1t is ascertaned what effect Sir Ro-
bert feel'S views, respecting the settlement of
the oregon question, may produce in the Uni
ted States TO that result the trade will look
anXlously; and until it is known, as every fresh
arrival Will no doubt bring tdings of the close
approximation between the last crop and the
great crop OF 1913, the issue will probably be
Il continuous lnanimate market.
The American provision market has improv-
ed by the accounts which the Cambria BROUGHT
home. Previously, the market was firm, but
they led to advance in the rates. Prime brands
OF beet have realized from 70s. to 75s., and the

can Cheese. In American Butter, there has
been less doing, owing to the heavy arrival of
Dutch Butter, and other causes The more
detailed accounts of the American Provision
Market, under the proper head, contain en-
couraglng views Of the future.
The Money market has felt the influence of
the rumois respecting the Oregon, and what
has been deemed. the critical position of the
Ministry respecting Maynooth. Last week,

taken place, and the market is now more firm,
