For the Heck ending last euenrng.

has passed away pretty much after the of its
late predecessors, the anticipation of results being
more satisfactory to the mlnd than the realization
The obstacles, however, which contribute to these
difficulties will be removed ere long-whcn money
matters will become easicr-Farmcrs, having finish
ed their planting, will be bringing forward their
Grain-and Politicians, seeing how and by whom
offices filled, will engage in more honorable
aud lucrative empoymcnt-and better state of
things will succeed the present.
The British ST amer Am ,r.cI was photographed yes
tcrday as having arrived at Halifax Thursday,
having left Liverpool Dist ult. The mcagre report

standing $500 brs. have sold, the week on |
Saturday opening at $S475, progressing subsequent
" to 1877, at which abouttw thirds of the weeks
sales made, (with nothing done on Thurs |
day } and closing yesterday nominaly quiet, few
no buyers or sellers presented thcmsclves-.the
great bulk of the sales having been made to fill up.
The stock of City Mills remains too light TO admit
of heavy operations, were micrs disposed at this
the year to engage in them. and prices have
ruled about the Howard street, 4.75a $4s75
the extremes, but chiefly at the latter the weeks
