of at 41 to 101 is for middling to fine bold.
There is more demand for other sorts. East India
shipping sort 23s to 265, home trade sort 40s to 80s, and
African 29s to 32s per cWt. Holders of Cloves are firm,
and sales to a fair extent have been made—Bencoleu
at is 4d to is 9d, Amboyna lld to is 2d, Bourbon
and African 74d to Bd. Mace met with a
brisker sale at 2s to 2s 6d, and first sort 2s 8d
to 2s 10d. - There is more busines doing in Nutmegs;
low and mid brown are 2s 4d to 2s 9d, and better sort
2s 10d to 3s 9d, but the demand is still dull for limed at
Is 6d to 2s 6d. Cinnamon met with little attention, and
a desire is shown to sell, first sort of Ceylon at 3s 8,1 to
4s 4d, second ditto 33 to 3s Bd, and.third 2s to 2s 10d.
There is not much demand for Cassia Lignea, owing to
the scanty supply holders are asking the high rates of
903 to 100 s per cwt.
SPIRITS.—There is more firmness in the market for
Leeward Island Rum, and the demand is brisker,
whilst the rates paid are from is 4d to is 4iel proof,
and a less amount is on offer. East India is held with
firmness, and there is more demand, it is difficult to
make purchases under is 3d proof. Demerara has not
improved in value, but the demand is better at 23 to
2s 2d for 30 to 33 per cent. over proof, and• stronger
at 2s 3d to 2s sd, indeed some parties will not accept
these rates. For Jamaica the market is better, and
sales to a fair extent have bet u made at full rates ; the
better sorts have been the most in demand. We quote
19 to 22 Fercent. over proof at from 2s 2d to 23 4d, 30
to 36 over 2s 6d to 3s 6d, and choice marks
33 8d to 4s 2d per gallon. The value of Havannah is
from is 2d to is 2d, and still few buyers are to be met
with. The market for Brandy has still a firm aspect,
and a large business has been concluded at tulle former
rates. Home dealers are still the chief operators. We
quote Cognac, best brands of the vintage of 1845 at
53 8d to 5s 10d, 1845 ditto Ss 4d to 5s 6J, 1847
ditto 4s 3d to 4s sd, 1848 ditto at 3s 7d to 3s 9d,

inferior 2s to 3s 6d, and Bordeaux 2s to 2s 3d per gallon.
The home trade deliveries are still far greater than in
the former pear. Geneva is not much wanted, shipping
sort is offered at is 9d, and fine for duty at 2s 3d to
3s 3d. There is no variation in the value of British
made Spirit.
RlCE.—Opinion is yet unfavourable towards East
India, and there are sellers upon rather lower terms,
still on the part of exporters or home dealers little desire
has been evinced to operate, and the market is well sup-
plied. The better aorta are the most difficult of sale.
At auction 3,364 bags of Penang were taken
in at 8s for barley grain, and of 1,686 bags Bengal a
part only sold at 10s to lls for good to fine white. The
value of pinky white white Madras is 7s 6d to Bs, and of
cargo 7s to 7s 6d per cwt. Cleaned Rice is still held
with firmness, and finds a free sale; town dressed Caro-
lina at 20s to 25s ; Patna, low to fine 13s to 19s. and
American cleaned His to 204 per cwt. There is also not
a more pletiful supply.
Figura—For fine Currants there is much demand,
and former cases are readily paid, as the supply is
small. For the lower aorta the market has a quiet
aspect, still lower rates are not acceded to. For New
the value is from 36s to 40s, and old 355. Raisins
have been dealt in with caution, and there ap-
pears to be more desire to sell; Denia at 31s to 325,
Valencia 425, Eleme 46s to 48a, Sultana 60s to 655, Mus-
catels 443 to 60s, French Plums 70s to 80s, and Imperial
80s to I 30s. Almonds are not much wanted; the value
of Jordan is from 71 to 101, Valencia 75s to 80s, Bar-
bary sweet 445, and bitter 355. There has been little
demand for Figs, and Greek can be obtained at 36a

to 38s.
SALTPETRE.—There is more firmness on the part of
importers of Rough, and none has been submitted to
public sale. Former rates are well supported, and by
private treaty operations are upon a more extended
scale. The value of low to fine is from 27s to 29e per
cwt. British refined is 31s to 31s 63 per cwt. Nitrate
of Soda, lls 6d to 12s per cwt.
COCHINEAL.—HoIdera have more firmness, and more
has again been submitted to auction; the demand has
been better by private treaty for all purposes, and former
rates are well kept up.
Isinpao.—The market for East India has assumed a
quiet aspect, still no disposition is shown to accept
lower rates. The quarterly sale is fixed for the 10th
of July, and already 5,436 chests are declared, it is
expected that about 15,000 chests will be offered,
about 9,000 chests will consist of new goods. Spanish
is not- cheaper, but there has been only a limited
demand.
TALeow.—The market for Russian has a firm appear-
ance, still there is little desire evinced by soapmakers or
chandlers to make sales in Russian on the spot, and
the stock is yet extensive. The rates obtained for
fine P. Y. C. are 38s 61 to 39e per cwt fa- fine
quality, but large parcels can be obtained rather
coder these rates. There has been a good business
concluded for the last three months of the year at 39s 3d
to 385.6 d, and some parties will not sell at these rates.
Home melted has been in excellent demand, but as the
supply is plentiful there are sellers at the moderate rates
of 37s to 38s per cwt for nett cash. In the value of
other sorts of Tallow little variation has taken plane,
although large parcels bad been pressed upon the market.
At auction 630 cks of Sydney were nearly all sold at
from 33s 9d to 37s 6d for low to fine, and 754 pkgs of
South American at 334 6d to 334 6d per cwt. Fur
public competition 1,700 pkgs of Tallow are declared.
Prices still rule much under the past year, and there i.
not a larger comp tition. Rough Fat is quoted at 2s Id
per stone, and is in plentiful supply.
OlLS.—Southern is in larger supply, and prices have
suffered a further depression, but at public sale 129 tuns
were nearly all sold; fine quality at 281, and low to good
241 to 87/ 103. Cod met with little attention and
obtained at 251 104 to 261; there is also
a fair Supply. ..Seal has been dealt in
with caution; there is also a desire to sell pale
at 291 to 301, straw and tieged 381 to 281101, yellow and
brown 25/ to 271 10s. None has been offered at auction.
For Sperm the market has a dull aspect, and prices
keep on the decline, as the supply exceeds the
wants of the trade. At auction twelve tuns of
Colonial went at • 71 10s, and Headmatter at 72/.
The finest Oil is not worth more than 741, but
prices are not expected to rule much lower. Linseed
Oil met with little attention for home trade purposes,
and-few export orders have been completed; the market
is well -supplied, and the rates accepted are 25s Gd to
2ss 9d.per cwt., but there is no falling off in the consump-
tion. There are sellers for delivery at 26s to 26s 6d,
still little business has been done. - Rape oil has been
; dealt in with caution, and lower rates are taken; sales of
pale have. been made at 37s 6d, and brown 36s 6d to
37, whilst the supply is extending. Palm is not much
in demand, and a desire is shown to sell fine quality at
31s 6d to 323 per cwt. There is no decrease in the con-
, sumption and the sUpply is notupon a large scale. There
is much dullness in the market for Cocoa Nut Oil and
it is difficult to quote prices on the decline; the supply is
also upon a larger scale, and lower rates are expected to
prevail. Olive met with a little attention from home
dealers or shippers-' Gallipoli is offered at 411 to 421 and
other sorts at from 381 los to 40/103 per tan, still there
is a fair consumption' and a further increase is expected
to take place. Lard Oil met with little attention, and is
offered at 38A to 41s, whilst Ground Nut is dull of sale
at 27s to 28s.
