Advises of the 18th December from Smyrna report
an active demand for madder roots, of which 300
double bales had been taken during the week at 395.
to 40s. per cwt. f. o. b. The supplies from the in-
terior had been interrupted by wet weather, and the
stock did not exceed 1,600 double bales. Yellow
berries were not in the market, but large supplies
were expected. The last lot had been taken at 71. 2s.
per cwt., f. o. b. The price of olive oil had risen to
391. par tun, f. o. b., and a further advance was looked
for in consequence of the fact that Myteline, Availi.
and Andrymitti, will not yield over 3,000 tuns against
23,000 tuna last season. This added to the present
stock will only make 8,000 tuns against 25,000 tuns
at same period in 1848: Unless, therefore, the crops
in other oil-producing countries should be very abun-
dant, prices are expected to rule high in the spring.
Of opium, 32 baskets, chiefly for China, had
been taken at the former price, 135.7 d. per lb , f. o. b.
Valonia of good English assortment was worth
121. 10s. per ton Lo. b. Wool to the extent of 50
tons, for the American market, had been taken at
; and for washed, 6d. per lb. f. o. b. There re-
mained at market only about 200 toss of wool in
the grease. Between the Bth and 16th seven
vessels bad been dispatched with full cargoes
for ports in Great Britain, and twelve more
were in course of loading with various products
for the same destination. The current rates of
freight were 50s. to 561. per ton for madder roots;
401. to 425. 6d. for yellow berries; 30s. for Valonia;
oil on the coast 40s. to 455. per too, all with 3 per
cent. and 10 guineas. Exchange on London, 1101,- to
no; piastres legal money per X.
Files of papers and private letters have been re-
ceived from Auckland, New Zealand, to the 10th
August; but they contain nothing of the least inte-
rest in a commercial point of view, beyond renewed
complaints of the falling off of the trade between
that place and Sydney.
