East Coast remains comparatively steady. Supplies for the last month about 530 tons. We quote fair ordinary 47/, superior ordinary 48/, and East Coast 58/ to 62/, according to quality. Business is decidedly improving ; it is impossible to Bay from what cause, but the fact is undeniable, the large payments being made for gum is doubtless helping the demand for supplies. , Oatmeal selling freely.
