yellow, 30. to 36s per cwt. A cargo of brown Bahia has realised
128 to 12s 6d. In crushed very little is doing. Refined goods—
though steady—are rather cheaper. Brown lumps, 42e; and
grocery, 438 to 488 per cwt. The total clearances to the 24th
inst. amounted to 1,502,274 cwts, against 1,426,441 cwts in 1854.

public sale have been withdrawn.

tent, at very full prices; but linseed and cakes are dull, and
lower to purchase.

of wool, especially for English; yet holders refuse to accept of
further reduced rates.

are sellers of Petersburg clean at 401 to 421 per ton. East India
parcels are heavy, and almost nominal. The value of flax is
unaltered, with a very dull market. Jute and coir goods support
former terms.
