Scented Orange Pekoe sales have been small, low as
prices range, good to fire being offered at is to Is Bd, I

and in the former season 25,600,000. At present public

RICE.-To-day the Rice market pretested a quiet ap-
pearance; there was a more plentiful supply,
and rates
are barely maintained. At auction the sound of 7,600
bags Bengal was nearly all taken in at los to Ils for
good to fine white; the damaged sold at 73 to lOs.
COCHINEAL.-To-day a reluctance was evinced to

Bacon has been purchased with caution, and
there
is a further Irish reduction: sizeable selling
at 59s to 643, heavy 56s to 60s, and Ram-
burgh sizeable 57s to 60a •
. Bale and tierce middles
are dealt in with reluctance, rates are on the decline,
and for Irish rule at 55s to 58s. For Navy Provisions
the market is inactive, and supplies rather more plenti-
ful, yet rates are firm. There are sellers of Beef, Ame-
rican India at 7/ 103 to 81 per tierce, prime mess 51 15s
to 6/ los, Irish India 71 to 81, mess 5/ lOs to 6/ lOs ;

to 8/ per tierce. Hams are cheaper, and sales
have been small. Irish at 64s to 703 and English 725
to 76s per cwt. Lard is in small supply and much in de-
mand, Irish bladdered at 63s to 665, keg and firkin 55s
to .595, Hamburgh 54s to 563, and bladdered 62. to 645.
Cheese is in good request, Edam 32s to 41s, Gouda 29s
to 37e, Kanter 17s to 17s 6d, and American 32, to 403.
TALLOW.-A. material increase has taken place in the
demand for Russian on the spot during the last few
days, together with an advance-fine yellow Candle
realizing 391 34 to 39s 6d par cwt. Operations are of
importance for delivery, and there are a few sellers under
393 34 for last three months of the year. Home-melted
has sold freely, and prices have advanced to 38s 64 cash.
Other sorts are in greater request, and a rise of
6d per cwt ha. been established. At auction 115 cks
Australian were disposed of-mutton, good to fine
38. to 393, Beef 57s to 37s 9d; 600 pkge South Ameri-
can, low to fine 34s 91 to 38s 9cl, and 50 cks Italian 36s
91 to 383 6d per cwt. For auction 1,000 pkgs of Tallow
are declared. Stock is 9,000 cks more than last year,
yet rates are rather above.
OILS.-Sperm is not cheaper, but supply is more plen-
tiful, and less demand exists. Of 110 tuns colonial at
auction a small part only sold at 871 to 871 103 for good,
and a few lots inferior at 841 to 851 10e. Headmatter
is 90/ to 921. Seal pale 34/ lOs to 35/, other sorts
32/ to 344 there is also an increasing supply. The value
of good to fine Southern is 341 to 351, low to mid 321
103 to 33/ 10s. Cod has been operated in with cau-
tion, and there are sellers at 331 to 331 103. Palm
is less wanted, and supply being larger, rates are
less firm, good to fine quality selling at 27s 6d to
283 6d per cwt. Olive remains in good request, and the
previous advance is well sustained; Gallipoli realizing
501 to 52/, and other sots 47/ to 49/per tun. Deliveries con-
tinue to be larger than arrivals. Cocoa Nut purchases are
small, and supply plentiful: Cochin can be °brained at 32s
6d to 34s 61, Ceylon 303 to 328, and Sydney 283 to 293. A
free demand exists for Rape Oil, yet brown can be ob-
tained at 31s to 31s 6d, refined 323 to 323 6d, and
foreign 33s to 33s 61, there being no decrease of supply.
Lard Oil is scarce and worth 53. to 55.. There is firm-
ness in the market for Linseed Oil, exporters and
homy dealers hiving been ready buyers ; there
are not sellers under 30e on the spot, supply being
moderate. For dalivory many contrac!3 have been en-
tered into at 283 6.1 to 29e per cwt. Oi American Sper-
suacetti 50 cases at auction were partly disposed of at
11 7d per lb. The value is 311 103 to 31/ 15s per tun for
ground Nut and Gingelly OIL
