ally increasing their stocks, from growing
conviction, doubtless that the market has seen
the lowest figure, and that the cheering pros
poets OF the country may induce rise. lhey
seem determined to take advantage of any con-
tinge1cy whah may arise. In the manutac-
turing districts, trade, although net brisker, can
hardly be said to have fallen off The demand
for yarn exceeds the supply.
In corn there is little doing in the way oil
speculation, although the anxiety continues to
Increase. The weather is still unsettled; day
or two of sunshine prevails, succeeded by . low
Temperature and the absence ofthe warmth ne
cessary to rPen the products of the fields. The
weather Throughout the length and breadth Of
the land is uniform, and the remarks which APP
ply to one district are applicable to them all
| Without giving cause Tor much apprehension,
there is uncertainty enough TO keep alive at
tenton. The elements are still very capri
cious; but the alterations in tire weather are
too prompt Tor speculation, which is fixed,
with its argus eyes, on'every transition OF the
| barometer.
The Provision tradeia improving. Irish bait

The Produce markets generally continue
steady, with an upward tendency. In most
descriptions OF Sugar there is a manifest inn
prcvement. The market is sparingly supplied,
but large consumption is constantly going
on. The stock of Sugar at the present time
differs little from the stock which was held al
the corresponding period last year. Foreign
Sugar is rising in value, and from exporters
the demand has been uniform.
