The trade lelusing to operate extensively so long as declining lates mark the close of each day's transactions Low priced Wines are likely to come into immediate and brisk demand, first bi amis ot Ales being in request and advancing, will induce a consumption ot low Wines, nieauins; an aiticle langing trom 4s. to ss. put gallon.
