for middling. By priiite treaty 1,800 bags Java have been
sold at 34s 6d per cwt.

TEA.—The ;mine of ord and good common Congon is lid
to Bid, mixed blackish leaf 9d to is OP, blackish leaf lld
to is Oid, ditto strong Is ld to is 3d, Pekoe flavour is 4d
to is led; Souchong, good and fine Is 8d to 2s Bd, in-

ferior 9d. to is 6d,—and Pouchong 6d to 8d per lb.
There is still no rise to record in the value of Green,
still the demand for both town and country consumption con-
tinues to increase, and holders are less disposed to realise.
For other sorts of Tea the demand is getting better, and
prices are firm.
RICE.—To-day Rice met with little attention, and at atm-
_

tion 2,146 bags 128 packages went at rather lower rates;
good white Bengal at 9s to 9s 6d, and low 7s 6d to 8s per cwt.
SPlCE.S.—Cassia Lignea is wanted, and former rates are
obtained without difficulty. At auction 2,764 chts were
readily disposed of ; mid and good realised 89. s to 93s 6d, low
to mid 87s 6d to 883, good ord coarse 85s to 863, Mouldy 88s
to 88s 6d, and broken 82s 6d to 84s per cwt. There is still firm-
ness on the part of holders of black Pepper, and more has been
submitted to public sale this week, but privately a fair busi-
ness has been concluded; Malabar heavy 3id to 3/Id, half
heavy 2id to 3d, Sumatra 2d to tad, and better sort lid to
3d per lb. White is held with firmness at 4d to 9d, and is
still in small supply. Pod Pepper find a more ready sale at
40s to 60s per cwt. In Cinnamon there has been only a limited
business concluded, still lower rates are not accepted. For
Cloves there is a fair demand; Bencoolen at Is 4d to is 10d,
Amboyna is to is 2d, Bourbon and African 714 to Bd.
For Mace the market is firm, and orders are getting
larger ; for first and second sort the rates paid are
from 2s 2d to 2s 9d, and for inferior is 10d to 2s. For
Nutmegs there has been a good demand and the supply
is still small; for brown the rates paid are from 2s 6d to 3s,
and for better sort 3s 2d to 3s 9d. Ginger is much in de-
mand, and prices are still on the advance, as the supply is
limited; 5 casks, 106 boxes of Jamaica went at from 3/ 18s
to 51 18s, and better sort Cl to 81 103; there was no su-
perior bold in the sales. Pimento continues to be wanted,
and former rates are well supported; the supply is also not
so plentiful. At auction 248 bags were sold at 3%d to 3%d
for mid to good, but chiefly at 3%d to 33/id per lb.
FIWIT.—The business done in Currants since our last has
been very trifling, and a reduction in price of about is per
cwt on the low and middling descriptions may be quoted.
Valentia Raisins are quite neglected. There is very little
inquiry for other sorts.
SPIRITL—The sales made in Leeward Island Rum this
week have been of little moment, and the rates asked are
Is 4d to Is 4id proof. East India has been dealt in with
caution, but in the value no variation is apparent,
and good quality cannot be obtained under is 3d
per gallon proof. There has been a good business
concluded in Jamaica, and the sales for the week reach 300
puns, chiefly of the better sorts, and mostly for exportation.
There is no improvement in the value to record. We quote
(9 to 29 per cent. overproof at from 2; 2d to 2s 4d, 30 to 36
over 2s 6d to 3s 2d, good to fine 3s 3d to 3s 9d, and choice 3s
10d to 4s. Sales to a fair extent have been made in Demerara
at from Is 10d to 2s 2d for 28 to 40 per cent overproof. Brandy
continues to find a free sale, and at firm rates. Cognac, best
brands of the vintage of 1845 at 5s 7d to 5s 9d, 1846 ditto
5s 3d to 5s sd, 1847 ditto 4s 2d to 4s 4d, 1818 ditto 3s 7d to
3s 9d, inferier brands 2s 2d to 3s 6d, and Bordeaux Is lld to
2s Id. Geneva for exportation met with a fair sale at is 9d
to is 10d for pale, and 2s 3d to 3s 3d for fine fit for duty. In
the value of British made Spirit there is no variation.
INDIGO.—The quantity declared for public sale on the 10th
of next month is now 7,684 chts. On the part of exporters
or home dealers there has been little desire evinced to operate
in East India this week, still holders are not disposed to ac-
cept lower rates. The market for Spanish has a quiet aspect.
SALTPETILE.—To-day there was a dull demand for rough,
and at auction 1,962 bags Calcutta were for the most part
taken in at full rates—good to fine grey 12 to 13 per cent at
26s 6d to 27s 6d.

COCITINEAL.—There is still little desire evinced to operate,
and 29 bags of Mexican at auction to-day sold at barely
former rates; blacks at 3s 10d to 4s, and silvers 3s 7d to
3s 9d.

Osas.—Prices are on the decline for Olive, and there are
sellers of Gallipoli at 411 to 42/, Spanish and Sicily 39110.3
to 40110 s, Barbary, Levant, and Portugal, 38/ to 391. Cocoa
Nut, 29s 6d to 33s is the value, at which a fair business
has been concluded. For Linseed there is a desire
evinced to sell at 25s to 25s 3d per cwt on the spot.
Only small sales have been made for delivery at 25s 3d to
25s 6d. Rape Oil—Sellers are willing to accept 37a to 37s 6d
for pale, and 35s 6d for brown; the market is better
supplied. Cod, 261 to 261 IN. For Southern Oil prices
ire still on the decline, and vary from 241 to 26/
for low to good, at 26/ lOs to 271 10s. Seal—There
ire sellers of pale at 30/ to 301 10s, straw and tinged
281 lOs to 29/ 10s, yellow and brown 251 to 27t 10s, whilst
tower rates are expected to exist. For Sperm 701 to 721 per
,un is the value of first sort. There are sellers of Lard Oil
it 36s to 40s, and Ground Nut at 275. Imports of Fish Oils
have been light this week.
TALLOW.—To-day the public sales of Tallow went off at
rather lower rates. Of South American 990 pkgs were for
the most part sold at from 33s 3d to 393, and 244 casks New
South Wales 33s 6d to 37s 6d per cwt.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Mining Journal)

There has been a slight improvement in the share market
since our last—several transactions having been completed
which were in course of negotiation. There still continues
an inquiry for shares in leading and improving miues, and
although sellers might be found at better rates, yet they
generally decline conforming to buyer's prices, the decline in
the standard for copper ore having a tendency to depress the
value of shares. The present disturbed state of the continent
may produce an unsatisfactory feeling among the holders of
copper, but we do not apprehend that there is occasion for
alarm from any excess of stock, therefore we trust the deprPs-
%ion will be but brief. Tin has also experienced a fall, arising,
no doubt, from the great sale of Banca which will shortly
take place in Holland. Buyers are evidently depressing the
price, with a view of purchasing in the market at a cheaper
rate. It is, however, probable that a reaction will afterwards
take place, as the stock of tin is very low.
Tincroft is represented to continue improving, and is evi-
dently becoming a permanent dividend-paying mine.
Tamar Consols, we learn, is also increasing considerably
her returns, and consequently profits— last month's being es-
timated above 5001., and the next will be full 7001. ; a divi-
q lend may be anticipated shortly.
South Basset, West Caradon, West Buller, Devon Great
Consols, Mary Ann, and East Wheal Rose are among the se-
veral mines that have been inquired for during the week.
Wheal Calstock is represented to have improved very
c• considerably, and buyers have sprung ap at a considerable
_ advance.

Business in the following shares have been done during
the week : Carn Brea, Condurrow, Devon Great Consols,
East Wheal Rose, Levant, Mendip Hills, North Pool, North
Roskear, South Basset, West Caradon, Trelawny, Condurrow,
Mary Ann, Tincroft, Tamar Consols, Hawkmoor, Kingsett
and Bedford, Cambome Consols, Par Consols, South Molton,
Treleigh Consuls.
At the Levant two-monthly meeting a dividend of 121. per
160th share was declared, leaving a balance in hand of up-
wards of 1,101.
At the Wheal Seton meeting, the accounts for March and
April showed a balance In favour of the company of
407/. 19s. 4d.

At the Grambler and St. Aubyn meeting the accounts for
four months ending April showed balance in favour of adven-
turers of 310/. 15s. 6d.
At the Wheal Bal meeting the balance-sheet for the two
months showed a balance of 601. in favour of the mine. The
operations and future prospects of the mine were represented
to be progressing highly satisfactorily.
At the Penzance Consols meeting the accounts showed a
balance against the mine of 1801. 7s. A call of 4s. per share
was made.

At the Birch Tor and Vitifer meeting, accounts from the
commencement to the present time were presented and
passed; 160 shares in the hands of the company it was re-
solved to sell, but not for less than 5/. per share.
At the Wheal Vincent meeting, the report presented by
the captain, and the explanation afforded by him afterwards,
were received with evident feelings of gratification ; although
the mine is in a position of profitable working, a call of 3s.
per share was deemed necessary for discharging present and
some past liabilities.
The transactions in foreign mines have been but few; some
little business in St. John del Rey, Copiapo, Australian, Bo-
lanos, National Brazilian, and United Mexican appears to
have been the extent.

The St. John del Rey letters are to the 7th April, and
give the returns for March at 22,177 oits., realising a profit of
3,5251. lls. Bd. for the month. The supply of stone had been
well kept up from the middle cachoeira, but it is considered
prudent to prepare for any falling off in the returns, by open-
ing new ground in the east cachoeira, as well as sinking the
shaft.

The National Brazilian advices are to the 30th April. The
gold returns from the 25th March to 13th April, in both
mines, amount to mks. 11 6 6 8. There has been no im-
port ant discovery—a favourable change is daily expected.
The Imperial Brazilian letters are to the 13th April. The
gold report from the 23d March to 12th April amounts to
Nibs. 3oz. 10dwts.; the total returns from the Ist Jan. is
1231b5. 9oz. 9dwts.
