EVENING EDIVION.

COFFEE.—The small supply of de an descriptions of
British Plantation checks business ; the re has appeared a
fair disposition on the part of the trade to purchase, parti-
cularly of fine ordinary and middling sorts, and stiffer prices
have been offered ; but in consequence of ' the cause stated
above, the operations have been on a smal I scale by private
treaty. 14 cks 20 puns 2 trs Duten and 1.7 eks of Jamaica
have been offered at auction, the former went at 1073 to
109. 6d for low mid coloury Berbice, 97s to 99s for ragged,
Donierar.l low mid 110 s, fine and fine fine or dinary 104 s 6d
to 108 s, low Triage 60s to 66s 6d, the latter fetched
98s 6d to 99s 6d for good ordiaary, which rates are is 6d
above last week, at whiCh some taarcels have been disposed
of privately. East India and otb,sr clean descriptions nave
brought rather higher prices in most cases.
This afternoon all clean descriptions were in steady re-
quest privately for home consumption ; 362 bajs Ceylon,
and 516 bags, &e. of other kinds, subject to the 9d duty,
were offered at auction, the former sold at 101 s to 103 s 6d
for good and tine ordinary, iufe, rior 97s to 995, the latter
fetched the full value.
OILS.—Cod at 301, and Pale ~,Seal at 2915 s to 291 103
per tun. Linseed Oil at 235. Rape on former terms.
COCOA.—West India does not appear to be much
r
wanted by the home trade, but in p,rices no variation has
occurred. At auction 123 bags, 24 casks Grenada, were
only partly disposed of, viz. good red at 46s to 46s 6d ;
middling, 44s to 45s ; dull red, 42s to 44s 6d per cwt.
RUNT, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—There are buyers of all
kinds of Rum to a fair extent rather under previous rates;
but the merchants refusing to sell excepting on former
terms have caused the purchases to be limited, and con-
fined to u few small parcels of Leewards 2 per cent. uncler
proof at 3s 2d, and 12 over at 3s 7d. Of East India
300 puncheons have been sold equal to 3s ld per gal-
lon for proof, and a small parcel of 2 per cent. over proof at
Is 10d. The import of West India is 1,000 puns less
than last year; but the stock is 1,900 puns larger than at
this period in 1838. Brandy of good quality has sold to a
fair extent for home consumption ; but shippers have
bought very sparingly. Geneva hae been in steady request
at the rates of last week. British Corn Spirits in Pea
request at our quotations.
FRUIT continues to be taken off freely, and there is little
variations in the quotations since last week ; in Valencia
Raisins the business last week was extensive at 445, and
large sales have since been effected at 455, and there is
now only one parcel of second-rate quality offering at that
price, nearly all that have arrived up to the present tune
having been disposed of.
MOLASSES.—In West India few sales have been made,
but the merchants generally will not submit to lower
prices ; at auction 78 casks, 25 tanks Mauritius sold at
22s 6d to 24s 6d per cwt.
NITRATE OF Sou4.—A fair demand has again 107 ,
veiled for this article, and 19s has been paid for Wu"
parcels.
SPlCEs.—Pimento is still only in limited request, but
prices remain firm, and buyers have been compelled to pay
3d for small parcels of mid quality by private contract;
none has been offered at auction.—For Cassia Lige"
there are buyers to a fair extent, but the unwillingness of
holders to sell has restricted business by private
contract, and 120 boxes at public sale went 2s above pre-
vious rates, good thin bright quill fetched 74s a 74s 6d, l?°:
mid and mid coarse 68s a 70s 6d per cwt ; the stock is prin-
cipally held by capitalists. —Black Pepper has been 10
steady request privately at previous rates; 836 bags gu,ud
light Sumatra at auction sold at 3id a 31d per lb;
is favourable as to the future prospects of the article.
16 bags white at public sale fetched Sid for mid quality.
14 casks 20 bags Long were taken in at 25s for good fair.
—Nutmegs are taken sparingly by the home trade, and for
export there are few orders, but prices do not give waY

TEA.—The monthly Tea sales consisting of 41,891 pkgs
or 3,538,015 lbs were brought to a conclusion this after-
noon. The sale opened with much animation, and during
the three first days the demand was brisk for all kinds
of black as well as green Tea, and prices each day ilfl
proved. The total quantity actually sold is 29.600 pkgs, a
large portion of which has been taken by speculators.
