CURRANTS.— Since my last reyo,t prices have given way for currants,
especlal:y for middlling and inferior, which may be quoted from 7s to
103 lower; tits has led to an increased business, and the trade have
bought freely; some parcels have also been taken for expert—as
regards the future it is dim ult to speculate,. as at the, present time
we do not know what the stocks are. The entire of our imports m
be r, g,rded as complete for the season, and will reach 20,000 tons for
the Unit-d Kingdom, being threw-fourths of the en ire crop, v'z ,
27,000 tons, which again is equal to the aggregate of the three rrevimis
years, 1853,.'54, and '55, whilst the clearances for home consumption
in the United Kingdom is 9,887 tons, being 2,100 tons more than last
year, whilst it is about 12,00 tons short of the consumption of 1851.
The prospects of the coming cro? are hopeful, there has been a par-
tat recurrence of the blight in a less virulent form than in former
seasons, but little doubt is entertained that it will be effectually
checked by the application of th, sulphur remedy. The stocks of the
Ij:the:l Kingdom are not known with any degree of certainty, and the
official returns are not more than an approximatio r to the truth ; they
are estimated by some to be short of 10 000 tons, but, as we shall be
in possession of official ;nd correct returns in the Cour of a month,
ir is batter to wait. The following statistics show what has been done
at this port during the last month, as compared with the previ.dis
month and corresponding month of last yea-, and it is satisfactory to
see that our clearances continue so large, being in excess of last
month by 109 tons. As a consequence of the reduction in pri. e, large
sales—say 5 0 tons of currants—have taken place in London, from 51s
to 60s, which has led to large clearances.

natsters.—About 47 tons of nisMs (black, red and Sultanas) have
came forward to this port during the month, against 140 last month,
and against i 6 corresponding period of the year 1856 The clear-
ances for home consumption are 90 tons against 97 and against 174;
and the exports and removals crastwlse, &c , 70 against P 4 and
against 1:60. By these r, tun: sit wilt be seen that the transactions in
tits fruit here have greatly Wen oft' as compared with last year. In
March, 1856. 502 tons were taken for home Ilse and tor export,
against 172 in March, 1857. This is rot a matter for surprise wit,n
we contrast the prices of last reason with this. In April, 1856,
Vaienems were quoted at 42s to 475, Sultanas 561 to 70., Muscate's
at 70a to 90s, Turkey red 403 to 465, so that ValenCes, Sultanas, and
Turkeys are ful-y 50 per cent dearer, and Muscatels pliant 2) per
cent. Pries of Valencias aro without change, and Sultanas and

Fits.--Very little is doing in figs of any kind, and prices of Greek
are 2s to 4s lower. The imports for the month are 16 tons. The
clearances 79 against 14 corresponding month of 185 i. Exports 9
tons against 5.

PRUNES AND Prmts.-1 he lab er of these are selling in retail
qua-tides, price without change; whilst a fdw barrels of prunes have
been sold by auction at 32s 64 to 335, but the enquiry for this fru t is
by no means so general as is usual at this season, and althcw;h
nlaticely cheaper than any other hind of fruit—the demand fs not
likely co be large. The clearances for home use are 20 tons.
iv rm.—Bare-40ns. nuts are in moderate request at former rates,
other kinds sell s',owiy,
ORANGES —There have been large arriva's of Palermo and Valencia
and a moderate quantity of Aleas•ria, which have sold at quotations.
LEMONS.—Are in short supply. TIIOMAS PARRY.
