Auction sales have not b*.'i.-ii very numerous, having probably to some extent boon iuicrnipieu by the sittings of the Supreme Court. One sule by .Messrs. Smith and Co., on Wednesday, (the 28 inst.) demands a passing notice from the fact that il comprised a considerable quantity of furniture (c niches chests of drawers, library table, Jcc.) all manufactured m this town, and of a quality that will leave little cause for importing similar articles in tlie future. No great change has taken place in the piices of staple aiticics, but with ihe harvest now near at hand, we may look for Mime decline in ilour and hr*ud.luffs) while tlie large quantities of goods that continue to arrive from Great Uriiuin, will prevent any advance on rales that have lately beeu obtained.
