There is very little of interest in our markets to report to-day. The retail trade in town seems to be rather more lively. Sugar continues in fair demand ; a parcel of damaged Company's sugar was sold by auction to day at L 25103 for yellow counters, and L34 10s for first counters. Bacon, butter, candles, and goods of this class are offering much in excess of demand. Hams of the new cure being scarce, are much inquired for. ABSTRACT OF SALES BY AUCTION. THIS DAT.
