There is very little demand for Pthe u: per country, and we are not aware of any I sales of importance for shipment to the north du- K in tr the last three days. Some further parcels Lave been taken by speculators and grocers, who Low hold most of the stock in the city, and are Iveiy firm at cents, the scarcity of prime su- Igars enabling them to obtain slightly improved Ira son the ordinary to fair qualities. Most of the Isales have been made at 44 0 4| cents, though oc casionally small parcels of very choice stiU com mand as high as trade. There have been some further sales on plantation for shipment to northern maikets—we [notice one of SUO hhds on Bayou Lafourche at cents, and another of 245 hhds below the city at 4 cents. There is very litt.e now remaining in planters’ hands. Molasses —But little has been done in this article during the last three days, there being only a few lots on the Levee for sale. These are generally held at 19 cents & gallon, but we have heard of no sales above IS, and still retain those ligures as our quotations. Flour —ln oar last Wednesday’s report we no ticed a slight decline in this article, the arrival of several thousand barrels having caused the market to fall back to $3 624 for superhne, at which rate it was dull when we closed our enquiries. Subse quently there were several limited sales at that ice, but within ihe last day or two a few buyers tor the \V*est Indies appeared in market, which caused more firmness on the part of holders, and enabled them in some instances to obtain a slight Jvance. The stock on sale is now unusually ight for the season, and there is but little coming n, the receipts of the last three days having been >nly about 1300 barrels. These circumstances lave imparted a good degree ot confidence, par ticularly to the holders of fresh parcels, and some tvere refusing to sell yesterday at $3 75, which Bguies we give as our quotation foFsuperhne. \mnnar thiSSales we notice particularly the follow ing, viz: 800 bbls at §3 624; 1500 at $3 70; 800 ifs 3 75; and 100 at $3 75, Most of these were for shipment. Bacon —The receipts have been very light for so’iic lime past, and although the demand at the same time has been extremely limited, yet the stock,particularly of first quality Cincinnati Bacon, has gradually diminished until it has become quite moderate. Holders, consequently, now obtain a blight advance on the prices which have been so long current, and we now quote canvassed Hams st 10 0 11 cents; uncanvassed do 8£ 0 9; bides 7^ 3; Shoulders 5 0 cents.

Terms —$30 the —season, payable at the last visit; for three or more mares, owned by the same person, $25 each: $ 1 for the groom. PEDIGREE. J. R. H. Acklin, Esq. of Huntsville, Alabama, certifies as follows :—“ Tom Tun stall was foaled mine on the 29th May, 1881. His dam was High land Mary .and her dam a full-blooded Archie mare; the sire of Highland Mary was old Pacolet. Tom Tunstall was sired by old Pacific, and he by old Sir Archie. This is as fat as lam able to go, tho’ I am satisfied Tom Tunstall has descended from as good a stock as any horse in the United States.— He was a race horse of the first order, but I fear will never be able to make a first sate race again, owing to his leg; it was injured when a three year old, in training, as I believe. By addressing Har dy Cryer, Gallatin, Tennessee,you can get a full pedigree of the dam of Tom Tunstall.” The same Mr. Hardy Cryer certifies thus: —“ Highland Mary combined as many or more rich crosses of thorough breds than any mare ever raised in Tennessee.— She was got by the noted horse Pacolet, the son of imported Citizen ; her dam. Rosey Carey by Sir Archie; grand-dam Sally Jones by the imported horse Traveller, called Big Ben or Charleraaine, (son of O’Kelley’s Eclipse, and one of the purest importations of the last century;) great grand-dam by the imported horse Wrangler; great-great-grand darn O’Possum by imported Shark; great-great great-grand-dam by the celebrated American quar ter race horse, Goode’s old Twigg; great-great great-great-grand-dam by imported F earn aught; great-great-great-great-great-grand-dara. by Lee’s old Mark Anthony out of a mare by imported Mon key.” On the sire’s side it is deemed unnecessary to trace beyond Sir Archie.
