8d ; fine, of the new crop, is 9d to 2s 2d ; but medium

1 s7e found buyers at 8d to 91d. A much better demand
exists for Souchong, especially for superior kinds ; rates
rule for fine at is 7cl to 2s, mid to good is to is 6d, and
common 10cl to 11d. For common green Tea few buyers
are to be met with. The following is the general currency

9d. Flowery Pekoe has not improved in vlue, still pur-
chases are on a more extended scale—low to good at is 3d
to is 10d, and fine 2s to 3s 6d. There is yet a reluctance to
operate in Caper ; sellers are willing to accept 8d to Is, and
for scented 10d to is 7cl. In scented orange Pekoe many
purchases have been made, fine at 1s 6cl to is 10d, mid to
good 1s Icl to is sd, and common lld to ls. To-day im-
portant purchases were made in Tea, and the market has
a firm aspect. There are not sellers of clean common Con-
gou under 101 d per lb.

13s, yellowish 9s to 9s 6d, and cargo Bengal 95 to 9s 3d per

mid white Bengal selling privately at its 6d to lls 9d per
cwt.
RuM.—To-day several parcels were disposed of, and the
market closed with a firm aspect—Leeward Island proof at
2s, East India is lid to is llid, and Demerara at 2s 8d to
3s for 30 to 40 over proof.
OILS.—In linseed oil extensive purchases have been
made, both for shipping and home consumption ; there is
also an advance, 29s 6d to 30s per cwt having been obtained
on the spot, and 30s 3d to 30s 6d for delivery. Rapeseed
oil is much required, and the upward movement continues ;
pale realising 365, brown 34s 6d to 355, and foreign refined
36s Gds to 375. Palm met with more attention and rates
are firmer, ruling at 32s 6d to 34s 6d for mid to
fine. Cocoa nut is not much required. Cochin is offered.
at 38s 6d to 40s, and other sorts at 37s to 38s. A good de-
mand exists for Cod, and there are few sellers under 341.
per tun. Seal finds a more ready sale, and rates are firmer,
pale realising 351. lOs to 361., and other sorts 321. to 351.
Southern is not much required, but supply remains scanty,
and 341 to 381 is the value of low to fine. In Sperm there
is more doing, at 851 to 86110 s, and Headmatter 871 to 881
per tun.

limited for spring delivery at 44s 9d to 455, and at 44s for
the last three months of the year. Home melted is held
for 45s 6d to 46s cash, still only a moderate demand exists
and supply is plentiful.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.—JAN. 3.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Law.)
IN RE AUGUSTUS GRAFTON.

The insolvent, who is a retired major in the East
India Company's service, applied under the Protection
Act.

Mr. Lucas appeared for five creditors. Three other
creditors appeared in person. Mr. Sargood supported.
The insolvent, as retired major, has a pension of 2691.
per year, and he has made a proposal to pay 301. yearly
into court for his creditors. His furniture had been sold
for his creditors, and 1191. had been paid into court.
Mr. Lucas said his object was to obtain a larger pro-
posal for the creditors, and he would suggest that 501.
per year be set aside in liquidation of the insolvent's
debts.
Mr. Sargood said his client was anxious to meet the
wishes of his creditors to the fullest extent in his power,
and he would endeavour to pay the larger sum.
Protection was granted accordingly.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Phillips.)
IN RE TAMES RANDALL.

The insolvent, a timber-dealer, of Bethnal-green, ap-
plied under the Protection Act. Mr. Nicholls opposed;
Mr. Sargood supported.
An objection was taken to the petition on the ground
that there were payments within three months which
were not in the ordinary course of business. It appeared
from the insolvent's examination that he had borrowed
a sum of money from his sister, which he had used in the
course of his business, and that in the course of the three
months next preceding the date of his petition he had
made repayments.
His Honour held the objection to be fatal, and dis-
missed the insolvent's petition.
