rivers in that country, in the of the spring,
we shall have numerous shipments of all sorts Of
provisions, and that, consequently, large supplies
of all sorts will reach these kingdoms.
During the last eight or ten days the receipts o.
corn, &c., have been light, and this added to the
continuance of considerable exports to Ireland,
has caused the market within the last two days
to have a very firm aspect, and prices, which
gave way lin the early part Of last week, have

then lost.
Indian corn still continues in great requlsltion,
and commands the high prices OF 69s. to rs. per
quarter. White, and other kinds of corn, are
cheaper.
1t is much to be deplored that the poor mans
food rules relatively much higher than that of the
more wealthy.
