t Commertiul.-The transactions in The
produce markets show, as. regards The pro-
duce of the West Indies, favorable slate
of progression. The Gazette averages
prove thai sugar is now l94d. per cwl.
cheaper than it was at the corresponding
perlud last year, 3s ID. below The price Of
the previous year, aud 3s Sd. under The
price of 1872 Thus with the reduced
price the consumption has greatly lncreas.
ed, is increasing, and shows little IlkelIhoud
of being diminished. For refining aud gro
Gerry purposes, the demand is uniform and
rather spirited.
The weather has been variable o! late,
and attention continues TO be fixed on the
crops. A good deal OF rain has fallen,
but it has been succeeded by sunshine,
without the requisite warmth. Should

The uncertainty which has hitherto: pre-
vailed respecting the weather has caused
more activity in The corn trade, b",h here
and elsewhere. Last week, when rain
fell frequently. the market was III a state
OF considerable excitemeai. Spectators
were active, and wheat per bushel i'm.
proved to the extent OF Gd to 3d., and
flour Is. per barrel. Sume heavy sales

The demand for cotton is large, but The
requirements are for The legitimate pur
poses of trade. The spnners keep them
selves we'll supplied, the principal induce
ment to which is the low price OF the sta
ple. Great as The stuck in hand is, 1t IS
giving way under the immense REGULAR
demand, aud heavy as is the new crop,
the current business promises to swallow
i, up.in due course. Spectators are not
inactive. The demand Tor export Is large,
and under these combined causes, Amerl.

also al I.S better, while i'll Pernam and
