MOLASSES —For West India previous rates are required,
but there iia3 been less business doing, and the demand
has been for small pa”cels at the quotations; at pub-
lic sale 230 ca,,ks from the Mauritius, sold cheap, viz., at
23s 6,1 for good qualiry.
COFFEE. —Clean descriptions of British Plantation have
been sought after by the trade, and the prices offered are
equal to those p:iid last week, but business to any extent
has been prevented by private contract, in consequence of
the short supply at market ; unclean kinds are held for
former rates, but there is still not much demand for these
sorts; there has been no public sale.
This afternoon there was no auction of West India, but
710 bags Ceylon, subject to the 6d duty, and 228 bags
other kinds at the 9d duty, were offered at public sale, the
former sold at fair market rates, but lower than the last
auction ; good ordinary green fetched 99s to 993 6d,
good ordinary pale 99s 6d to 100 s, one lot 106 s per evit,
the latter sold at its full value, viz., good pale Java at
73s 6d to 71s. _

Rum, _
BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—RUM is held for pre-
vious prices, but the demand has been very limited
for all qualities; the private sales since our last re-
port have not exceeded 100 puns ; 25 hhds East
India, 26 over proof', have been disposed of at 4s, equal
to 3s 2d for proof. For export there are few orders for
Brandy, the home trade buy sparingly, and confine their
purchases to good brands, which command previous rates:
common kinds may be bought on easier terms. Geneva
has been in good request, and prices have slightly im-
proved ; good quality has brought 2s 2d per gallon.
British Corn Spirits are rather lower, but at the present
rate or lOs 3d per gallon, large purchases have been made.
FRUIT.—At public sale the following new descriptions
were offered ; 25 butts and 14 carotels Cephalonia Cur•
rants damaged, and sold from 70s to 76s for very bad to
slirrht ; 594 boxes Elemc Raisins at 445; 2,534 boxes and
448 half boxes Chesmes at 425; 3,028 drums Sultana
Raisins taken in at 80s, aad 4,175 drums Turkey Pulled
Figs 75s to 83s. The demand for all descriptions, as
.usual at this season of the year, continues brisk ; the iln"
porters of Valentia Raisins have advanced their price to
455, at which some partial sales have been made.
TEA.—In the early part of the week the demand was
extensive for Twankay and common descriptions of
Congou from the trade, as well as from capitalists, and the
advanced rates of 2s 64d to 2s 61-d were paid for the for-,
mer, and 2s 2d to 2s 2,3-d for the latter. In Hyson Ana

were sold at 2s 4d for cash, and 2s 5d with a three months

To-day much excitement was produced in the Tea
market, in consequence of a report that Lord Palmerston
had informed the American Minister that it was the inteni
tion of Government to send out a force to Canton, and id
found necessary to rigidly blockade the port ; this caused
holders of Tea to refuse to sell excepting at advance
rates, and large sales were made at prices Id to 2a awctoe
those of yesterday ; common Congou fetched 2s 361„,A
