upon a larger scale: at publio sale 200 bags Trinidad
went at 42s to 45s 4d for red, and at 41s 6d to 42s for

every prospect of a continuation. For foreign full rates

week. By private treaty several parcels have beeen
by shippers and home dealers, whereas the rates obtained

namon is not cheaper. Cluves continue to be wanted,

full value.

Rum this week, and former rates are well supported:

parcels of proof, and on the part of holders there is firm-
ness. East India has been dealt in with more freedom,
