in quotations, and few sales to report.
EAST INDIA.-- ..-1- demand
for small parcels, but prices remain firm, particularly for
coloury kinds ; 2,000
bags white are declared for auction
on Friday next. Manilla is wanted by the Refiners, and
the rates quoted have been paid privately for several
parcels. Siam and Java are held firmly at the rates quoted,
at which small purchases have been made.
MAURITIUS.—Prises have undergone no variation since
we last wrote : but the operations by private contract
have been limited, the deliveries from the warehouses
however have been good. For public sale on Wednesday
6,000 bags are declared. There has been four arrivals.
FoaistoN.--For Brazil and yellow Havannah former rates
are required, but there has not been much passing by pri-
vate contract ; an improvement in the demand is, however
looked for, and some parties are not inclined to sell at pre-
sent rates : white Havannah is totally neglected.
TEA.—In the early part of the week several holders
having again submitted to lower prices, occasioned buyers
to purchase more freely, and a fair business was done, the

trade as well as capitalists purchasing at the following
rates, viz. : 2s 01. ti to 2s I d for common free trade Con-
gou for cash, and 2s 2d with a prompt, 2s 4d to 2s 5d
fur common Twankay for cash, and 2a 6d prompt, 2s Id
a 2a 1,1,-d for Co.'s Congou cash, and 2s 2d a 2s 3d credit;
since then buyers have come forward with increased free-
dom, and a good demand has prevailed for nearly all kinds
of black and green Tea, and prices have slightly im-
proved : common free-trade Congou in large parcels have
been disposed of at 2s 3d for cash, and 3s 3.0 with a
prompt, common Twankay 2s ed to 2s 51c1 for money,
and 2s 6d to 2s bid with a prompt, and Common Hyson at
3s 3d to 3s 4d per lb.
To-day a good demand has prevailed for free-trade
Congou, Twankay, and Company's Congou at the rates
quoted above. In Imperial, Gunpowder, and Young Hy-
son there is not much business doing. Accounts from
Canton may be looked for the first week in January. No
advices can be received from Captain Elliott as to the in-
structions sent out by our Government before next May.
t.OFFRE.—There are a good many orders from the coun-
try for clean descriptions of British Plantation Coffee ;
but some difficulty is experienced in executing them, in con-
sequence of the short supply ; and prices are still looking
up. By private contract Jamaica of middling quality has
been disposed of to a fair extent at 124 s to 126 s fine
fine ord 116 s to 120 s, good and fine ordinary 110 s to
113 s : Dominica in small parcels has been disposed of at
similar rates ; fine middling Jamaica is worth 140 s per
cwt, but of this kind there is none to be had. For clean
sorts of East India there has been several inquiries ; and a
good many parcels of good and fine pale Java have been
taken by the home trade at 78s to 80s. per cwt. Ceylon
of good ordinary quality is fetching 105 s per cwt, 1,500 bags
are declared for auction on Ist January. In common green
Mocha some small sales have been made at 113 s to 114 s
per cwt. The unclean kinds of Brazil from the Cape are
held firmly ; and some parcels have been taken by the
Trade at 48s for good ordinary. Foreign is not offered
on lower terms; but the transactions in Bengal as well as
St. Domingo have been limited at our quotations.
To-day there was a good deal of inquiry after bulked
Java, and 76s offered, but no sellers under 77s per cwt.
Rust. BRANDY AND HOLLANDS.—The merchants refusing
to sell Rum at lower rates have again caused the opera-
tions to be very limited in all kinds; there are buyers of
proof Leewards to a fair extent at 3s 2d, but no sellers
under 3s 3d.—Brandy is taken more freely by the shippers
at from 3a to 5s 2d, according to strength and age ; a fair
demand prevails from the home trade.—Geneva sells slowly
at the quotations.
SeteEs.—Sumatra Pepper of common quality is in fair
request at 3;id, there are buyers to some extent at 31d,
but no sellers thereat. Pimento dull of sale, but not of-
fered cheaper. Cassia Lignea at late rates.
RlCE.—There is not much business doing in Bengal,
but prices remain firm ; good bold white, of which the
supply is small, is held for 14s per cwt. Carolina is
fetching 38s to 40s for home use.
Iworoo.—ln East India, both for home use and exporta-
tion, prices remain the same as last quoted, which is 3d to
4d per lb under, last sale's rates. Spanish unaltered in
value

TALLow.—For Petersburg Yellow Candle on the spot,
prices are firm at 49s to 49s 3d for first quality. For de-
livery in the three first months of next year, 485 9d to 491
per cwt.
OILS.—For Sperm in small lots 1061. to 1071. paid for
first quality ; the supply is small. Linseed Oil is in better
request, and large sales have been made at 23s ad per
cm. Olive in fair request.
