WEDNESDAY

Purchases continue on a large scale in true and fine Green,
and previous valuations are well euetained; indeed in
some caste a smell advance has been obtained, but
common Canton is yet dull of sole, and offering
at low prices, stook being heavy. The following are
the current terms for Green Teas. low to mid Hyson
Is 13 to is 3d, good to fine is 43 to 2s 63, choice
2s 7d to 23 103, youeg Hyson Canton 73 to 10d,
Hyson kind Is to is 73, fine and superior is 93 to
23 43, Twanleay 83 to 19, Gunpowder Canton 70
to Is, Upon sort is ld to 23 Bd, fine 2s 9d to
3s 6d; Imperial Canton 9d to is, Hyson sort is 13 to
2s 2d, and Hyson skin Gd to 81. Flowery Pekoe at-
tracts greater attention, and the parcels sold were, com-
mon at is 2d to Is 3d, mid to good is 43 to is 10d, fine
to superior 2s to 33 6d. For Caper orders are not
larger, and a desire is evinced to sell in boxes at 93 to
10d, and scented 7d to Is 3d. In common and mid
scented Orange Pekoe sales are trifling at 8d to 11d, but
of good to fine many parcels have been disposed of at
Is to is 10d per lb.
Rim—Since Saturday East India Rica has been in
very good demand, and private purchases are 8,000
bags at full rates to an adva.,ce. To-day it is difficult
to buy mid white Bengal at 10s 63, and common pinkey
Madras at 9s 3d per cwt.
leineao.—Exporters and home dealers have been again
anxious to purchase East India, and the parcels disposed
of were at a further improvement, msking a rise com-
pared with last quarterly sates of 8d to 10d per lb, and
since that period 7,000 chts have been sold. Opinion is
also favourable wi: respect to the future position of the
market, accounts from Calcutta being again very unfa-
vourable relative to the crop.
SPIRITS.—Pricee, have not advanced for Jamaica Rum,
although large parcels have for shipping and home con-
sumption; there is, however, a plentiful supply of lower
qualities. The rates accepted tor choice sorts 36 to 39
per cent over proof are 3s 6d to 43, fine 2i 103 to 3s 4d;
32 to 36 over good mid to good 2s 4d to 2s 9d, and mid
30 to 34 over 2s 2d to 2s 30. Demerara has
been in excellent request, and quotations are firm at 2s
23 to 2s 3d for 33 to 43 over. Of Leeward Islands few
parcels are to be obtained, and there are several buyers
at is 6d to is 6P proof. East India is wanted, supply
scanty, and prices range firm at 13 54 to is 5d proof.
Several buyers of Havannah at is 4d to is 413
proof, and the quantity hero is trifling. For
inferior qualities rates remain under last sea-
son, bat they are rather above for better sorts.
A free sale exists for Brandy, and prices arc higher
for older sorts, new fully sustaining previous terms.
We quote Cognac best brands of the vintage as fol-
lows:-1851 at 5s 43 to 5s 6d, 1850 ditto 58 6d to 5s Bd,
1849 ditto 5s 10d to 6s, 1848 ditto 64 2d to 6s 4d, older
6s 63 to 7s, low to mid qualities 4s to ss, and Bordeaux
23 63 to 2a Bd. Geneva is in good request at 2s to 2s
Id, and home trade sort 2s 3d to 2s 6d. Only mode-
rate purchases have been madJ in British made Spirit,
and a desire evinced to sell at 9s 6d to 9s 83; Gin 17
under proof 8s 8d to 8s 93, and 22 ditto at 8s 23 to 8s 3d
per gallon.

Jamaica went at 2/ to 4/ 7s, and fine Cl 183 to 71 8s
per cw*,
Lee DYE.—To-day a public sale of 100 chests went at
3d to 6d for Native marks, and at 9d to la for ord fac-
tory, these are foil terms.

tRIIIT. —Currants have been in large demand, and it
being quite evident supplies direct will be greatly under
last season, rates are firm at 56s to 635, and new 603 to
655. Raisins are much in request; new Valencia at 45s
to 465, and an impression exists there will be an advance.
TiLLow,—The meTket for Russian continues excited
in consequence of an extensive home demand, with
large buyers for the United States. Prices are again
higher, ruling at 41s 3d to 41s 6d for fine old yellow
Candle, and new 41s 9d to 42s per cwt. Important con-
tracts have been entered into for delivery, and the prices
paid are 40s to 403 6d fc,r last two months of the year. Of
home melted supply is even less than previously, and there
being an iLcreasing demand, sales cannot be made under
42s cash. Of other sorts of Tallow a less quantity Is on
offer, and at auation 370 casks Australian were nearly all
disposed of ; mutton 37s 6d to 41s 6d, beef 39s to 403;
220 pkgs South American 36s to 403 61; 42 ditto grease
30s 6d to 32s 6d; and 11 casks Petersburgh Soap 403
for first sort. For auction ou Fridaay 300 pkts are
declared

OlL3.—There continues to be a reluctance to operate
in Linseed Oil both for shipping and home consumption;
although sellers are willirg, to accept 28,3 61 to 28s 91
on the spot, For delivery little has been done, and 27s
6d to 28s is the value; the market is, how-
ever, not likely to remain long in a quiet state.
Operations in Rape Oil are of importance, and
there is a further rise, brown selling at 32s 6d to 335,
refined 34s 6d to 355, and For Sign 35s 35s 61. An
extensive demand exists for Palm, and tha upward move-
ment caitinuez, good fine selling at 29s to 30s.
Cocoa Nut much in request, and likely to be
dearer in consequence of en incr.-Titling demand
and falling off in supply. The value of Cochin is
35s 6d to 375, and other sorts 323 6d to 36*. Lard Oil
is wanted at 55s to 565, and remains in scanty supply.
Olive is now attracting little attention, and arrivals
being near at hand, there is some desire to sell Gallipoli
at 57/ to 581, and other sorts 531 to 56/ per tun. Al-
though prices remain moderate for Seal, purchases are
limited—pale at 36/, and other sorts 31/ lOs to 331 10s.
Few buyers of Cod are to be met with, and 32/ is the
value. Southern remains in small supply, and is held
for 321 to 341 lOs, yet few buyers are to be met with. A
reluctance is evinced to operate in Sperm, and there are
sellers at 841 to 861. Prices for Headmatter rule at 871
to 901. The value of refined Spermaceti is is 5d to is
63 per lb. _ _
