Circular of Jan. 9h.
Bacon.-We are without any arrivals from the
States, and the value is enhanced by the contin.
ued scarcity Of Irish.
BeeE-The stocks OF old may be reported as
nearly all cleared out, and supplies of new are
eagerly sought after the small quantities 10 hand
this month having been at once taken at extreme
rates. For one small parcel Of India we reals.
ed zoos. per 336 lbs., and 90s. per 304 lbs.
CheeSe.-Under the pressure Of heavy arrivals
last month, cheese had ruled dull since our re.
port Of The 9TH, and improvement is scarcely 10
be anticipated during the current month.
Corn, 9c.-The excitement noted in our last
has continued TO animate our market, and indeed
all the markets OF the Empire, till our present
quotations have been realized on very large trans.
actions, limited only by supplies. Our range Of
prices now represents western canal flour in bond
at 43s. per bbl.; sour. in bond, 35s. 10 36s;
while for Philadelphia red wheat / Is. Sd. pei 10
TO- in bond, was obtained yesterday and Indian
corn, at 74s per 490 h.. for yellow, and 34s.
per Dbl. for meal are in continued active demand,
with an enquiry for kidney beans (Be and Re
peas) at price corresponding with the value Of
Canadian peas.
The advices of the cambria" which reached
US on the evening of the 18th, show clear profit
Of los. per Dbl. on flour, on the currency OF the
New York market, as compared with ours, and
Is. 60. per 70 lbs. on wheat thence, with 3Os
per quarter on Indian corn from New Orleans:
but this state OF things will have been altered by
our advices OF the 4th inst, and your currency
probably carried upwards 10 dan gerous point.
That the novel and extraordinary large demand
from Ireland has mainly led to the present state
oi.matters, is fact and that instead OF the heavy
supplies thence, poured upon our markets in
former years, continued extensive demand for
breadstulls for Ireland will influence those mar.
kets up 10 the period OF next harvest, is a theory
advanced as positive certainty by many. Still
we are of opinion that speculation has much
very much TO do with our present quotations. and
in this we are strengthened by finding that while
43s in bond was the current price yesterday for
w. G. Flour, some large holders were free sci.
lers at 42s. cd. We would again, therefore.
caution our friends against too free reliance on
our present currency.

supplies from Italy, but yesterday the intelligence

at our Corn market TO day.
Ldrd.--ln the course OF the past few days a
considerable advance has been established on
lard, caused in some degree by an almost total
falling away OF supplies from Ireland, and as we
are not to look for any more thence, this season.
