a firm aspect.

12s 6d for other sorts. For limited parcels of Cuba and
Porto the rates paid are 133 to 13s 6d. Bengal and
Mauritius wanted at lls 6d, and supply is trifling.

to 48s, good to flee ditto 50s to 58s. In Tamarinds se-
veral sales have been made at 24s to 34s for West India,
and at 8s to 22s for East India. _

COFFEE.-To-day rather lower rates being submitted
to for Native Ceylon occasioned a better demand to pre-
vail, and at auction 1,079 bags were all sold, real good
ord at 39s to 38s 63, damaged 355 6d to 37s 6d, and one
lot superior sound 39s 63. For Plautatiou Ceylon there
is yet a quiet market, still offers of lo.er terms were re
jscted to-day. At public sale 309 casks, 2,651 bags were
iakeu in, good to fine isarks at 56s to 635, and tiiage 383
to 42s Of West India 22 casks found buyers, flue and
good ord Jamaica at 405 to 425, low mid and mid Domi-
nica 505 to 525. Fur ell other sorts of Coffee there is a
quiet market.
COCOA,-There is still a reluctance to operate, and
prices evidently tend downwards, fists red Trinidad
being offered at 39s to 41s, good 36s to 38s, low to mid
335 to 353. grey 30s to 335; and Grenada from 25s to

and Para can be obtainad at the low terms of 23s 6d to
255, and Guayaquil 28s to 29s per cwt.
TEA,-The atuuuat of busaness concludsd in Congou
has been small, and there are free sellers at previous
terms; supply is plentiful of ord and mid sorts. For
low the rates taken are 7d, good ord and sound 7fd to
83, rather black.,3h lest to blackish leaf Sid to 10id, fine
and Pekoe kinds lid to la 53; rather under these rates
there are several buyers both for home trade purposes
and shipping. Oolong continues to attract little notice;
sellers are willing to accept Ild to is 33 for good to fine,
and low to mid 8d to 10d. Souchoog is easily obtained
.it previous low terms, yet a good demand prevails; fine
at is 23 to Is 7d; oih,,r sorts 8d to is id. P.iuchong
is wanted at 4,1 to 6d; few parcels aro still in the mar-
ket. Scented Orange Pekoe met with a dull sale; good

Biog.-Opinion is still unfavourable towards East
India, and the rates submitted to have been rather under
those of last week. Only small purchases have been
made by shippers or home dealers, although good to fine
white Bengsil can be obtained at 9s 9d to 103 6d, mid to
good mid 9s to 9s 6d, broken 8s 63 to 8s 93, cargo 85,

further parcels of Bengal have been sold, the particulars
of which are not allowed to transpire. Town dressed
Carolina is dull of sale at 21s to 275, Patna from Ils to
16s. and a reduction is quickly expected. Few buyers
of Sago are now to be met with; small pearl is offered
from 15s to 17s, and large ditto 215 to 235. Sago Flour
is wanted at 14s, and is in small supply. For Arrowroot
demand is better; Bermuda at Is to is 23, St. Vincent's
3id to 7d, Brasil and East India lid to 20. In Tapioca
little is doing; Rio at 21c1 to 4id, Bahia and t'ara lid
to 24d per lb.
SPICES.-Of Cassia Lignea supply is not adequate for
the demand; prices are firm, ruling from 112 to 123 for
low to fine quality. The market is without a supply of
Cassia Buds, there are buyers at stiff rates. Some par-
cels Cassia Vera have been sold at 50s to 60s, and the
quantity here is small. Cinnamon finds a more ready
sale, the lower kinds especially; yet no advance has
been produced. The value of first sort Ceylon is from
Is 103 to 3s, and second ditto is 4d to 2s 3d; third and
fourth is Id to is Bd. Cloves remain in fair demand,
rates and range too firm; Amboyna, 7d to 8d; Penang,
Id to is 23; African and Bourbon, ad to 614. A fair

busibess concluded in Mace, and previous terms
are well sustained, few parcels being in the mar-
ket. Sales of first sort made at 2s 4d to 2s
6d; second ditto, 2s ld to 2s 3d; and inforior,
Is lid to 23. Nutmegs are held with firmness
and remain in good demand, the supply is also small.
