sustained, and a geed demand exi=ts. At Auctioa 798
bags Grenada sold at 28s 6 i to 31s 61 for ord to raid
quality; 253 bags Trinidad, low red 32s Gd to 345, mid
34s Gd to 35s 6d, good mid to good 363 to 395, one lot
fine at 433, and grey from 303 6d to 33s per cwt.
SPICES.-To-I:%Y tat auction 40 casks Jamaica Ginger
were acid at 41e to 52s for low to good ord. Of Pimento
60 bags fecthed 50 to 51d for mid and good mid;
these are full terms.
RIcE.-In consectuence of previous, low rates having
been accepted for East India, operations have been
upon a more extended scale, both for shipping end home
consumption. At Auction 5,278 bags Bengal were nearly
all disposed of, good white at 93 6d to 103, mid and
good mid 9s to Os 63, broken 8s Gil, and damaged 63 to
9s 6d. Privately u fair business has been transacted;
sound Bengal at 9s to lls for white, Madras 76 ad to
Bs, Coringa grain 8s 6tl to 9s, Moulmein, white 9s to
10s, low ditto 83 6d to 8s 9d, Arracan 9s to 93
6d, white Java Os to 125, and Cargo 7s 63
to 8s per cwt. Cleaned Rice met with a more
active demand; Patna lls to 163, Carolina 21s to 275,
and American 183 to 19s. Supply is more plentiful of
Sago, and prices are not so firm. The public sales of
690 chests went at 163 to 17e 61 far mid to fine small
pearl, and at 193 to 20s Gd for medium sort. Sago Flour
is wanted at 145 to 14a 6d, and Farina 15s to 705. Ta-
pioca is still attracting little attention.
SPIRITS.-There is still a reluctance to operate in
East India Rum, rates are rather lower, and rule at
is 3id to is 4d per gallon proof. Leeward Island has
been dealt in with caution, and is 4id to is skl is now
the value of proof. At the reduction of last week
holders of Demerara are inclined to realise, the conse-
quence has been that many parcels have been sold at
from is lid to 2s 2d for 30 to 40 per cent over
proof. Operations in Jamaica have been of litte moment
for shipping or home consumption; there is a plentiful
supply, and previous prices are readily accepted-
choice sorts 35 to 38 over proof can be obtained
at 3s 4d to 4s, fine 2s 10d to 3s 3d, good
mid to good 32 to 34 eve 2s 4d to 2s 93,
mid 23 to 2s 3d, and low 24 to 28 over is 103 to is 11d.
There has been a brisk demand for Brandy. The
value of Cognac best bradds of the vintage of 1851, is
4s 2d to 4s 43, 1850 ditto 4s 53 to 4s 7d, 1849 ditto
4s 9cl to 4s 11d, 1848 ditto 5a 3d to 5s sd, older
53 7d to Gs 6d, low to mid 3s to 4s, and Bordeaux
Is lid to 2s 2d. A reluctance is yet evinced to operate
in British made Spirit; there are sellers at 9s 73 to 9s 83,
cash; Gin 83 3d for 22 under, and 17 ditto 8s 93. In
Geneva little has been done, common is offering at is 8d
to is 103, and fine 2s to 2s 43 per gal. To-day several
parcels of Demerara Rum were sold, making the sales
of the week 600 puns, at 2s to 2s 2d for 34 to 40 over
proof.
SALTPETRE,--There is yet a reluctanoe to operate in
rough, and the rates accepted are rather under those of
last week. Of 3,300 bags at auction barely one-half
sold; Calcutta, refraction 94d to Vld per cent., good mid
and good quality, at 26s to 26s 6d, 121 so 131 ditto
mid 25s Gd to 265; Madras 5 to 5i ditto 255, and 101

23s for not refracted. The, highest quotation for Cal-
cutta is now 29s per cwt. British Refined met with a
slow sale at 29s to 303. There are few buyers of Nitrate
or Soda, with sellers at 14s 6d to 153 per cwt.
COCHINEAL.-Stiffcr rates are obtained for Silvers,
black supporting previous terms. At auction 350 bags
were chiefly disposed of; Honduras Silvers, ord to good
3s 6d, to 3s 9d, low to good black 3s 10d to 4s 103,
Mexican 3s 103 to 4s 103. The rates obtained privately
for Mexican Silvers were 3s 6d to 3s BJ, and Teneriffe
from 3s 8d to 4s 63 per lb.
FRUIT.-The business done in Currants since our last
has been very limited, but prices continue firm. New
30s to 353. Valencia Raisins are in better demand, And
at full prices. Valencia at 25s to 275; Delia 20s to 235.
The clearances for home consumption, both for Currants
and Velencia Raisins are large.

the rise; Colonial realising 871 to 89l per tun for first
