THE SUN,

sold well at pretty fair prices. Sheep and pigs sold
very well, but there was no advance in price. The
linen market was very large, but sales were dull with
a downward tendency ; 3,000 webs were sold princi-
pally by the drapers or manufacturers.—.Newry Tele-

MIILLINAHONE TENANT PROTECTION SOCIETY.—
' The weekly meeting of the above society was held in
the committee-rooms, on Sunday, the 22d—Mr.
Kickham in the chair. Several members were en-
rolled. The rent to be paid for the rooms was de-
termined, and the treasurer handed money to the
secretary to pay the debts of the society. Some of
the members of the committee handed in returns of
the agricultural produce of their respective townlands,
and the number of inhabitants in each ; the census of
the parish will be soon completed, and we fear that
the decrease both in the produce and people of the
parish will be startling.—Tipperary Free Press.

LONDON,

firm, good, and fine, at 41s to 455, and low to middling
38s to 403. For Treacla there has bee❑ an erlirged
sale, and prices are on the advance; boiled from West
India Molasses has been selling at 16s to 16s 6d,
patent 17s to 17s 6d, and golden syrup 18s to 19s 6d
per cwt, with saveral huyers for delivery, but few sellers.
For Bonded Crushed Sugar the rates insisted upon are
29s to 30s ; there are not many buyers, and the stock is
not larger. Treacle for exportation is quoted at 13s 6d
to 14s, and not many buyers. For Bastards the market
is quiet at 18s to 2ls for low to fine, and for Pieces at
22s to 265. The value of Foreign Crushed Sugar is from
26s to 29s for low to fine, but the demand has become
limited. For Loaves the market is quiet and the prices
rule firm at 31s to 32s 6d for 10 and 151bs Hambro.

FOREIGN.—There has been a fair inquiry after bonded
and duty parcels, but holders refusing to sell at former
terms, caysed the private operations to be of little
moment. That higher ates will prevail appears to be
the general opinion. The stock is not so large
as of late, whereas deliveries have improved,
more especially for home trade purposes. From
Havannah accounts have been received io the 3d of De-
cember, which staie the exports of Sugar last month to
have been 50,000 boxes. At Hamburgh there has been
more firmness in the market. The Stock of Havannah
Sugar at Antwerp was 26,000 chests, and at the same
time last year 15,000. Advices from most of the Sugar
producing countries are favcurable with regard to the
crops.
TEA.—There has been a large business concluded in
the lower qualities of Cougou, and prices have improved
to 94d to 10d for ord and good ord. Other sorts have
been purchased with more freedom, and at previous
terms there are not sellers generally. The value of me-
dium sorts is 10d to is lid, end better sorts is 2d to 1s 9d.
Green is held with more firmness and at previous rates
purchases to a fair extent have been made, whilst low and
mid kinds have been dealt in with most freedom. For
scented Tea rather more demand has been ex-
perienced, and former terms are well sustained.
Since the beginning of the year duty has been
paid at this port upon 27,412,981, Liverpool
5,084,146, Bristol 844,279, Hull 286,519, and Clyde of
2.050,749, making a total of 36,678,715, and to the same
time last year of 35,265,567 showing an increase of
1,413,148 111. There is now little difference in the stock
compared with this time last year, and public sales will be
declared.

COFFEE.—To day a fair amount of business was con-
cluded in Coffee, and it was difficult to purchase good
ordinary Native under 54s 6d per cwt; still there are
speculative buyers rather under this rate.

-
Cocos.—British Plantation is held with firmness. and
deliveries continue to extend, but the sales made have
been small red Trinidad at 42s to 50s for low to fine, and
grey 40s to 43s per cwt; a better demand is expected to
take place shortly. A fair quantity of Foreign has been
sold at 29s to 31s per cwt, whilst higher rates are likely
to prevail.
RlCE.—There has been a further improvement in the
market for East India, and appearances with respect to
the future are favourable. Imports are also expected to
fall off, and deliveries to further extend. A good busi-
ness has been concluded by private treaty, and chiefly
on speculation, whilst a further rise in the value is
apparent. We quote white Bengal at lOs to 11s 6d,
cargo, 9s to 9s 6d ; Madras pinky white, 9a 6d to
10s 6d, Pearl Barley 9s te 9s 6d per cwt, indeed at these
rates there are not generally sellers, whilst only limited
parcels are held in fist hands. A fair quantity of cleaned
Rice has been sold; Carolina, first sort at 265, second
ditto 225, and low to fine Patno from 12s to 19s per cwt.
For Sago prices are likely to rule higher, and stiff rates
are paid for Sago flour.
SALTPETRE.—The vale of rough is firm 26s to 28s 6d
for low to fine, and an increase of demand is expected to
take place shortly. British refined is quoted at 29s 6d
to 30s. Nitrate of Soda is wanted at 13s 3d te 13s 6d
per cwt, at which there is a firm market. The stock is
2,488 tons, and at this time last year it was 1,160 tons.

SPICES.—For Pimento prices rule at sid fo 6d per lb..
but a public sale will take place on Wednesday of 450
bags when the real value of the article will be tested.
Black Pepper is held with firmness; Malabar shot
33d, to 31,d, other sorts 31d to 30, and Sumatra
30 to 3-ad per lb. There is a much smaller stock
than in the former year. White Pepper is worth 4d to
9d for ord to fine. Mace has been selling at 2s 2d to 2s
Bd, and brown Nutmegs at 2s 6d to 4s for ord to fine.
On the part of holders of Cloves there is firmness. For
Cassia Lignea prices rule at 96s to 102 s for ord to fine.
Stiles of Ginger have been made to a fair extent, and
full terms are paid.
INDIGO.—The market has a firmer aspects, and at an
early period an active demand is expected to prevail for
all purposes, together with an advance in prices. De-
liveries have been upon a large scale this year, and ex-
ceed those of the previous one by nearly 5,000 etas of
East India, whilst the stock is on a par with that time,
but imports have been 900 chts larger.
SPIRITS.—Prices are firm for Rum, and a favourable
opinion is entertained with respect to future events con-
nected with this article. The stock is not so large as
of late, whereas deliveries do not exceed those of the
past year, and a derease in the imports is likely
to take piece, by reason of the low rates that have
existed this year. The value of Jamaica 20 to 29
per cent over prcof is from 2s 2d to 2s sd, 30 to
36 over 2s 6d to 3s, favourite marks 3s 2d, Leeward
Island proof Is 5d to Is 51d, East India Is 3id to is 4d,
and Demerara 30 to 40 per cent over 2s 2d to 2s 4d. Jo
Brandy a good trade has been concluded, and higher
rates are likely to prevail, whilst deliveries still far exceed
those of the former year. We quote Cognac best brands of
the vintage of 1848 are 4sBd to 4s 10d, 1847 ditto 5s 4d to
5s 6d, 1846 ditto 5s 8d to 5s 10d, 1845 ditto 6s 2d to
6s 4d, inferior sorts 2s 10d to 4s 4d, and Bordeaux
2s 8d to 2s 10d per gallon. Geneva is held for Is 9d to
Is 10d, and fine 2s 3d to 3s 3d. The value of British
made Spirit is still 9s Bd, and Gin 8s to 8s 6d per gallon,
whilst no rise in the value is looked for.

OlLS.—There has been a good trade concluded in Lin-
seed Oil, and at higher terms. Home dealers have beer,
the chief opesators, whilst there are few sellers op the
spot under 29s per cwt. For delivery several contracts
have been concluded at 29s 3d to 29s 6d, and the
market has a firm aspect. Rape Seed Oil is in better
supply, and there being few buyers, previous terms are
not to be obtained—Pale is offered at 425, and
brown 41t. There has been a good deal doing in Cocoa
Nut Oil at from 34s to 35s for fair to fine, and holders
are less disposed to press sales. Palm is much in
demand, whilst it is difficult to purchase fine
under 33s per cwt, as the supply is still
small, whilst consumption is large, and likely so
to continue. For Oiive Oil there is a firm market,
with every prospect that a large demand will prevail
shortly. The value of Gallipoli is 441 103 to 454 and
other sorts 421 to 43/ lOs per tun ; indeed at these rates
there are not free sellers. In Cod Oil few sales have been
made, still holders are firm, and will not sell undsr 301
lOs per tun. Seal is not cheaper, still the market
has been in a qviet state. Pale is held for 381 to
10s, straw and tinged 341 to 37/, yellow and
brown 301 to 331. In the value of Southern no further
decline has yet taken place, yet there are few buyers,
and !quotations rule from 301 to 341. A much better
demand for all sorts is likely to take place shortly,
as dealers have allowed their stocks to get much
reduced, and consumption as good, whilst there
is only a moderate !quantity held by impor-
ters. For Sperm the market has a firm aspect,
and several parcels have been sold—fine Bitish (realised
83! to 844 and American 82/ per tun, whilst the chief
holders are not free sellers at these rates. The value of
Headmatter is from 851 to 881 per tun.
TALLOW.—Russian on the spot has met with only
a limited demand this week, and holders appear more
disposed to realise. The rates accepted have been 38s
to 38s 6dl per cwt for fine P. YsCandle. For delivery
only limited sales have been made, and 38,
6d to 39s is the value for the three first
months of 1850. In home melted a good
trade has been concluded at 38s to 39s nett cash,
