value and some parcels Of Bacon, adapted for
this market, have sold freely. Lard has also
advanced, and grease butter has been inquired
| for. In rice there has been an extensive bust
ness doing, and tobacco for the home market is
/ in fair request, bat prices have sustained little
variation.

the import OF Canadian timber this year as COM
pared with the corresponding period last year.

reduced, and the prospects Of the trade are IA
vorable.
