to the reaction reported in prices Liverpool and

demand sales amounted to 1850 bales, which being
large increase upon the previous daily average, would
of itself tend to enhance prices The principal factors
still refuse to their samples at the present of
fering figures however, but with aggregate operations
to-day, which include round lists we feel
justified in referring to the following closely approx

lately, and appearances there are beginning to
assume their wonted appearance. The favora-

increased catch of fish it has produced, and if
the present weather continues for any length
Of time, as every prospect now indicates, this
will prove successful fishery. The arrivals
are mostly from the lower shores-thc fish
