Some parties who read the reports Of the lun1-
| Der market arc curious to know Why 10 cargo
| sales have been reported for two or three days
| past. Tho reason is that no sales are reported

ably because the prices p:id do not suit tho dca-

cline in freights, which would enable our ship
pers to clear out the bins in our warehouses, SO
that there would be prospect for better prices
alt through the winter. The experience OF to-
Gay taught tho same lesson. Our receipts were
