fraction under 2s. 3d., we believe 14-16tlis ; there is no alte-
ration in the Market prices. In Brandy or Geneva there is no
new kature.

TALLOW.— The Tallow market is more firm, and the gad-

WooL. --In the Wool market there is scarcely any variation
to 'notice. The demand lately has been for low Russia wools,
at very full prices,

0i1.5.-there is no variation in any description of Oil, the
market remains quiet, and scarcely any business doing.

the business doing is trifling.

this week ; at public sale damaged Patras Currants were taken
in at G6s. ; Cephalonia and ,ante were sold 58s. to Gls. ; da-
maged Chesnut Raisins sol 6 38s. to 40s. per cwt.

duras Cochineal, all sold at Os. 10d. to 7s. 6d. for ordinary to
fine; and 132 bags Garblings at 2s. 2d. to as. 6d. per lb., full
prices.
COTTON.-There is no alteration to notice in the prices of
Cotton, there are few purchases in this market, but the
currency is firm, with every appearance of an improvement,
when the export season commences. The accounts this morn-
ing from Liverpool and Manchester are most favourable ;
the sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Wednesday were about '
6,000 bags at an advance generally of per lb. ; from Man-
chester the demand forgoods and Yarns is stated on the mostes-
tensive scale, so much so, that the manufacturers cannot exe-
cute the large orders they have on hand ; there is not a la-
bourer out of employment.

sales made. Of 840 Surats offered at public sale to-day, 200
sold 51d. to 6id. ord. to good fair, a few very good 74d.
