DRIED FRUIT MARKET.

There is very little doing in this market just now. Figs and French
Fruit remain the same as they were, but Currants and Raisins of all de-
scriptions arc rather lower.

SPIRIT MARKET.

English, Scotch, and Irish Spirits are still 9s. Bd. per gallon, but there
Is not any particular business doing., The short stock of Rum prevents
business ; prices are very firm indeed. Brandy is not so firm as it was,
and is in heavy sale at 3s. 4d. for first marks of 1836 in puncheons.
Geneva is unvaried in price, pale Holland being Is. 10d. to Is. Ild.,
German Gin Is. 6d. to Is. 7d.

TALLOW AND OIL MARKET.
P.Y.C. is very firm, but not securing much business ; the price to-day
Is 49x. 3d. In Oils there is nothing whatever fresh.

COLONIAL MARKETS.

There is now great confidence amongst the holders of all descriptions
of Colonial produce ; and prices of some commodities are not only firm,
but looking up. There is not much doing to-day, either by public sale
or private contract. As we said yesterday that Bengal Sugar was look_
Rig up, and had every appearance of being higher, so now brown de-
scriptions are 2s. to 3s. dearer than they were last week. Today we
had a public sale of 4,210 bags of Mauritius Sugar, which went briskly
at prices, when we left, which were looking up. The stock is now
26,893 bags against 30,312 at this time last year.
British Plantation Sugar sells with improved briskness, and prices are
looking up, still we are not authorised at present to alter our quota-
tions of last week, except for brown, which is 6d. and Is. higher. The
stock of British Plantation is 15,939 hhds. and tierces, against 23,242
at this time last year. Refined Sugar is little better than nominal at
38s. Gd. and 395. for fine crushed. Coffee of all kinds is now looking
'JP rather than otherwise, and Ceylon is 85s. to 86s. for good
ordinary, which is higher. There is not, however, much doing, and
to-day nothing in any kind of Coffee by public sale. The stock of
British Plantation is 2,606 casks, and 1,117 bags. Ceylon 22,454 bags,
Mocha 4,247 bales, Brazil 31,311 bags.
Spices, except Cinnamon, are firm in pries. But a very small quantity
sold of the large amount put up. The third sorts ,as we said, fetched
3d. to 4d. per lb. on last sale prices ; whilst firsts and seconds went from
2d. to 4d. pei lb. lower. So that, taken as a whole, prices are much the
same as those of the last public sale. Saltpetre, of which we have a
small public sale to.day, is firm at yesterday's rates of 245. Gd. to 13s. Gd.
for 6:d. to sd. refraction. In Rum, Rice, and Cocoa, nothing whatever
fresh ; the first of these is particularly firm. The imports of produce
are increasing.
