TRADE.-Speaking Of trade, that paper OF the SAL
date says that mercantile matters seem to be reyivl
in the most satisfactory manner, and those who .
willing to receive accepted orders the GOVERNING
treasury, soon dispose of ali their goods.
We say those who are willing to accept governme
paper for ii must be considered that it is not eve
merchant who can afford to wait two or three wee
for his money. However, there is no want of COZ
ri dence in any department Of trade !; and the N
chants generally speak of doing toleraby fine br
ness. Clothing, boots and good household goods
mostly IN demand at present, with good prices. e
ceres and provisions are scarce in the market i'll ia
we may say there are none for sale. The Gogernm
is q ready purchaser for all such supplies and any
portatons which may come into the State will m
with prompt and profitable returns. Liquors, W
Che exception OF aguardiente, meet with "a poor
at present. The establishment of a regular line
steamers, and the starting Of line of schooners
coast about the lake and transport produce from
islands, will have still greater effect to increase
business of this port.
