been dull, and although holders have accepted rcdu-

tinucs prices will still be lower. No. | Scoth Pig
has been sold at los, and mixed numbers I3s cd to
but now these quotations are quite nominal. Bars
and Rails have also met with less attention, and pr
ces for both still looking down. Welsh and Staff
oTdshirc Pigs are difficult Of sale, even on reduced
terms. In the value Of British change can be made
this week, but the market has very dull tone. For

Bacon-At present prices, experiences active
demand. and all recent arrivals have been freely
taken, at rates ruled BY quality.
Beg.-Fine parcels have continued to maintain
previous quotations. Western parcels in general
have met steady demand, at from Cos downward
according TO quality.
Cheese.-Ihe quality Of recent imports has proved
inferior; this in conneXion with lower currency for
Cheshire Cheese, leaves obs. present top price
/ Corn, 9'c.-Sncc our last, prices have tended
downward on each article except sour Flour which is
scarce. The supplies Of Wheat Flour, Oats. and
Oatmeal from ireland continue 10 be lib raj; the mar
kets OF the interior are independent of foreign sup
plies; and should the weather now prove favorable
tor outdoor farm work, stI!l lower rates are proba-
/ Bile. At to-day's market we had but very limited
business passing, our extreme quotations being almost
nominal. Wheat and Flour were neglected. Corn
and Corn Meal were pressed on the market at our
lower range Of prices, and found buyers to some ex-
tent for shipment to Ireland.
Cotton.-The still unsettled state of affairs on the
Continent, and the consequent lack of demand for
cur manufactures, continue to affect our market very
materially, and prices ID per Id. lower than
On the 10Th inst. The sales of this week have been
2i1oO bales those of to-day 5000 bales with slight
ly improved demand, and less pressure to sell The
stock to- day Of all qualities is estimated at 2s7 500
bales, against Il 1850 at the corresponding date last
year.
HamS.-At low prices, some progress has been
made in clearing the market of old. No smoked
meat of any kind should be sent here.
Hemp.-l40 bales sold at G24 per ton
HdeS.-We have no import Of States Sales Of
South American have continued to a fair extent AZ
rather better prices for fair qualities but interior are
still without improvement.
/ Lard.-At our quotations, the market has been
cleared OF the weighty arrivals noted. No advance
is, however, to be anticipated, as the operations of
our own refiners, in stock, will keep the retail
market supplied. OF Amer fine qualities, "Detz's''
bIaddered has sold al 66s 3D., "Locke's'' tins els
to 62s 3d., and "Alden's tubs at SIS. 3D. to SIS Cd
Linseed Cake.-About $50 tons sold at f6 Sub
sequently, with improved demand, nearly the
whole OF the late import has been taken, at an adj
vance of los. to los. per ton. G6 l5s was offered
this week, for quantity of thick round n. Orleans
and refused.
Pork.-New continues to be taken on arrival but
without any activity in the demand, fine qualities Of
Prime Mess alone commanding attention.
