During the past ten days there has been considerable ANNA
nation in the market, and auctions have shown a better feeling
existing in the trading community. Large sales have been
made from the cargo Of the CeyE0n, and also from the bark
hUeTy TO arrive in about four weeks from Liverpool. The sam
pies Of prints BY the latter yessel have been received, and the
patterns are superior to anything ever shown in this market.

been made 70 the extent Of $4,000 mostly, however. On time.

about $4,000, payable mostly from October to December.
Two wIalers have arrved from the Koiiack ground since our
last issue, both % which have done poorly, and the reports
which they bring are considered as below the average early re-
ports q former years, from the whaling grounds. No word is
received yet from The Ochotsk. Among the ship new. win be
found orr latest advic@s from the whaling feet. The bark
