In the same period last year, the import amounted to 
13,574 puncheons. During the last month, 399 pun- 
cheons have been delivered for home use, and 177 
puncheons for export ; leaving our stock about 3,500 
puncheons. The demand for rum has now been for 
several weeks extremely limited, chiefly owing to the 
continued depression of the London market, where the 
stock is large, and where prices, particularly of Jamaica 
rum, have ruled much lower than with us. The article 
has consequently declined a little here, and is so little 
sought after that our present quotations are almost 
nominal, but not likely to go much lower, as our stock is 
very moderate and no further supplies of any importance 
soon expefted.

2,400 Bags imported so far as this year, and our 
present stock is moderate — indeed the article being 
chiefly of Spanish and Portuguese Colonial growth, less 
will probably come this way in future. Carracca and 
Trinidad qualities have been the most saleable, but of 
late have become much less so ; and as the wants of the 
Navy will henceforth be inconsiderable, the vent for 
common Cocoa will be more limited — indeed of late 
these descriptions have been quite neglected, and prices 
are merely nominal,
