REMARKS.--_Ashes_, since the late news from Europe, have been in good
request. _Candles_, especially those made of stearic, are brisk.
_Cotton_. The day after the arrival of the Caledonia with advices of
a fall in England, this article receded nearly 1/4 of a cent per lb.;
but a brisk demand springing up for export, it has recovered, and is
about the same now as before the reception of the late news. We hear
nothing particularly new from the south regarding the picking, the
weather upon the whole supposed to be more favorable. Export from the
United States since 1st September last, 62,450 bales; same time last
year, 113,301; same time year before, 99,904. _Flour_. The continued
navigation on the canals, has brought us an unprecedented supply,
and a large quantity has gone into store; a good business, however,
continues to be done in it. The total arrivals this season have been
1,440,000 brls. _Rye-flour_ is dull. _Buckwheat_, very scarce and
advancing. _Cornmeal_, dull. _Wheat_ is in good demand, and prices
stiff. _Rye_, declining. _Barley_, _Oats_, and _Corn_, in fair demand.
_Hemp_, dull. _Hops_, improving. _Molasses_, not much inquired for.
_Beef_ and _Pork_, quiet, and little doing at present in them. _Lard_,
much wanted. _Hogs_. Extreme rates now in Cincinnati are from $2.25
to $2.75; we are free to repeat, however, that we believe the first
quality of hogs will be worth $3 by Christmas. _Rice_, of the better
qualities, scarce. _Seeds_, especially Timothy, in good request.
_Sugar_, quite inactive. _Tobacco_, fine Kentucky, scarce and wanted;
stems, none in market. _Wool_ seems to have taken a fresh start again,
and prices have an upward tendency.
_Stocks_. A large business continues to be done in these, and they are
still gradually advancing.
_Money_ plenty, and seeking investment at the usual low rates.
_Real Estate_ seems at last to have come into demand, and considerable
sales in this species of property have recently taken place at good
prices. It must henceforth advance. Our population and wealth have
increased in an unprecedented ratio within the past four years, and
there is no reason why real estate should remain at its late low
prices, and transactions in it any longer stagnant.
