ranged from nine to twelve cents per pound
Flour was selling at from six to seven dollars per
barrel, and Wheat in proportion. Corn was
ranging at from eighty-seven to ninety-four cents
per bushel. The market for Naval Stores was
dull. .
At Wilmington on the 1 llh instant, Turpentine
was arriving freely, and selling off rapidly, prin-
cpay TO distIers, at two dollars and fifteen cents
per barrel for soft, and one dollar and twelve and
a half cents for hard. The Market was we'll sup
piled with lumber and timber, and sales were some
what slow. Corn was selling at eighty cents per
bushel.
At Fayetteville on the 18th instant, Cotton was
selling at from nine to ten cents per pound, and
Corn at sixty-6vc cents per bushcl. Flour was
worth from five dollars and twenty five to five dol
