FRIDAY, May To NJ.
There was no visible improvement in the aspect
OF commercial affairs to-day as COM ared with
the previous days this week. The markets were
duh, almost without exception. The current
wants seem 10 be smaller tnan at almost any cor
responding time, while there is scarcely
any disposition to make speculative ventures.
The export movement continues sluggish and
Ia oreadstuis almost nothing has been done for
some time prices abroad being relatively higher
than they are here, besides when there is as
position TO await the freer receipts soon to come
in via the canal Corn still dull, and prices again
receded. oas we're firmly held by spectators whiskey
was quiet, but decidedly higher. Provisions were duh
and pork unsettled and decidedly lower Lard was
quiet anu easy Freignts quiet rates were al
