We have received loiters from Liver
pool, via. Boston, up to the 28th June;
Upland Georgia was 16 1-2 a 17d 12 ;
Sea-Island, inferior, 16 a 20d ; mid
ling. 21 a 23m ; line 2s a 2s 2d ; very
fine, 2s 3,! a 2s. 4(1. They state tiiat
for the last ten d ivs previous to the
28th, Upland had been dull and rather
drooping, that there was nothing lo
warrant these prices but the Shortness
of the supplies, and that tin y must be j
regarded as rather precarious in the i
present unsettled state of Commerce.
The demand for Sea-Island was very
heavy.
