what the effects upon market of the steam
Cambria's adviccs of the I'd, from Liverpool,
those of the America, of the 9th inst. upon us,
the mail of the latter having to hand yesterday
morning. the steamer reaching Boston on Wcdncs-
day From the letter, of the evening of the Sth of
correspondents, Messrs. Stitt, Day * Co., we
extract copiousv, as follows
Bdc0R.-Wh liberal supplies of low qualities
rather lower rates, by Is. to- SIS have been accepted
and fair amount of business has been passing fine
qualities continuing to command most attention.
Hams sell at a wide range, according to cut, cure,
and condition, 46s. having been realised for small
parcel of fine. Shoulders in moderate demand
but coarse meat sells slowly.
ButtGr.-Clean Irish Grease has sold at 4Os.; and
at about 3Os. there is an enquiry for American
Corn, S'c-1his week has been without any
marked change in the Corn market, and our quota
tons remain without alteration, the business being
to fair ordinary extent, and further decline in prices
checked by country millers and dealers purchasing
Wheat and Flour with rather more confidence. In
dian Corn has been in less active demand for Ireland
but in the absence of any large supplies prices have
been supported. The weather continues to be most
favorable for own harvest prospects, and rumors
of temperance Of the potatoe disease do not come
confirmed. At Corn Exchange to-day a very
limited amount of business passing in all arti-
cles Wheat could be bought at decline of ID, and
none but the finest qualities of Flour met any enqui-
nv, with very few transactions. Indian Corn was
held at previous prices, at which it met limited
sale Corn Meal continues in short supply and SELLS
to moderate extent, at full prices.

poets of the growing crop in the States this week

common qualities. This improved feeling has been
well maintained, and the sales to-day are 10000
bales at the highest rates of the week, one half
being speculation. The better qualities of Cot
ton in fair demand, but do not command any ma
teral advance.
Lard-Saes to the extent of about so tons are
reported at steady prices, and holders are firm but
no advance can be anticipated while Butter, Tai
low, and Palm Oil continue to rule low.
