ARRIVAL OF THE HIBERNIA.

ARRIVAL OF THE HIBERNlA.
The British Mail steamer Hibernia arrived at Bos-
ton last onday morning at o'clock, having left
Liverpool the 9th inst. The political news by her
is not of great interest to us, generally, this side
the toater; but her commercial advces. far they
relate to the increasing demands and already advan-
ced rates of this country's great staples CoTToN
AND BREADsTuFFs--are very important. We have
given copiousy below such particulars we deemed
worthy the readers attention, especially as the Uni:
ted Kingdom has become the great entrepot or
rather mart probably for neaay all the surplus pro-
auctions of our country.
! &C. The steamer Cambria is the next vessel in
course arrive, whose day Of leaving Liverpool is
February 4th.

| Appes.-The arrivals Of the past month have been
extensive, with prompt sales, at long range Of pri-
ces, many of the parcels having come TO hand in the
worst possible order, the results all tending 10 estab-
lsh the fact, that Apples no advance can prudenty
be made. Among the more prominent sales are the
following, and "Newtown Pppins' have continued
to maintain the character of being the safest ship
ment:-1000 barrels, per New World, at Is. Sd o9s.
per brl. 1000 brls., per Great Western the greater
part Of which proved sound, aud sold at sos a45s,
/
one half Of which were Newtown PIppins, and
brought 35s. a35s., the remainder, Baldwins and
Greetings, which, although perfectly sound, only
brought l5s.al7s.
Bacon-We have hitherto written largely as to the
/ prospects of Amer. becoming very leading article,
aud one likely 10 pay handsome profit, If carefully
and properly put up and WHILE on the present occa
sion, confirm this advice, and our friends
that Bacon, adapted TO the requirements OF this mar
ket, is much toanted, and owing 10 the certain short
supplies from Ireland, will continue 10 be so. We
have further to tell them, that an lrishman, MIR.
Jonathan Cordukes late OF Belfast, and within the
past few months located at New York, has been the
FIRST to show practically what really CAN be done
with American Hogs, by sending forward per "Great
Western her last voyage, his first shipment OF
80 bales New Middles Bacon, which sold on our
market on 22d ul. at sos. Cd. to SIS. per cwt The
| old excuse of the Hogs differing from Irish breed
will not do any longer, and Bacon is wanted, aud
will pay if produced, as it evidently can be,-Mr:
Corlukes late parcel having equaled the average of
| his former shipments from Belfast. We trust that
our remarks may not lead TO further shipments of
rough and unsaleabe stuff; such is not wanted; and
shipments of the like can only result in disappoint-
ment and loss.
Besf.-A comparison Of the import and stock Of
preceding years with that just closed, will show
that Beef has become a well established article, and
with ordinary attention to the importance OF preserv-
ing the character Of the brands it will continue TO do
| well. Present stocks are exceeding light, and are
passing freely off the market, while such parcels of
New yet have come forward, have met ready sale
for Beef of low quality, which existed in August last
is likely TO revive as we advance toward summer.
Stock 3lst December, 1896 equal to 2750 tres; and

| BIuer.-Tbe imports have been moderate and
some late arrivals of States have proved OF fair quail
ty and have given satisfaction in every respect The
market is at present dull, and the demand limited
with 96s. extreme quotation for best parcels
| of Irish. Prices are however much more likely to
adj rance than recede.
| Cheese.-The arrivals during the past month have
been unprecedentsdly large, and nearly the entire
having come TO hand within the last ten days, the
market is for the present overstocked, and sales pro-
gress slowly. Our quotations however continue to
represent actual transactions and consumption is
active, we anticipate brisk demand. and have full
confidence in present prices being well supported.

| Corn. &c.-Our advice Of 3rd ult left Wheat at
Is 3D. to 9s. 3D.. Western Canal Flour in bond I,
3ls.a32s and Indian Corn 53s. to SIS. Each subse
quent week has seen progressive advance, till our
present quotations have been reached to-day. A
prevalence Of north asterIy winds kept without
any supplies of moment till the 18th ult. and during
the earlier part OF the month many confidently ex-
pectcd that the amount of shipments known to be
afoat and looked for together at the first change Of
wind, would, when thrown on the market at one
time. exercise depressing influence upon prices but
when the wind did change, though the arrivals were
certainly large yet home consumption and the demand
for Ireland continuing TO exist in full force with no
lack Of SPECTATORS sales were freely made at prices
equal to as TO 36s for Western Canal Flour bond,
|
'Chenango'' from Baltimore having sold the latter
figures. with las. for small portion. We have now
reached IS. Cd. TO u.s. Sd per 10 h. for Wheat duty
paid with transactions at 9s 3D. TO l0s 3d. in bond;
| Western Canal Flour 39s. TO 40s. in bond, Phade-
phia and Baltimore 3Ss 10 $685., New Orleans and
Ohio 35s. to SIS, and at these figures very large
amount of business has been transacted. A good
show of samples Of Indian Corn has caused il to re-
cede to los. for $50 lb.. but singular these
figures are, it is possible it may sgAin advance.
With respect Indian Corn have advise, that.
at the opening OF the trade in it, the preference
manifested for White, while the contrary is now the
result Of experience, Yellow being esteemed by at
least one shilling per quarter more. Indian Meal is
in very short supply, at value of sis 3d. TO s2s 3D.
per brl. Buck wheat and Meal have come forward
10 few small parcels trials, and should think
they are likely to take. The Stock in Bond, in
Liverpool, on the LIST inst. is reported Of Wheat.
