TALLOW MARKET.
P. Y. C. was to-day 545. 6d., with the market in a very un-
certain state.

WOOL MARKET.

The public sales of Colonial Wool continue to progress
with great spirit, and readily command the former quotations
of last sale prices to 2d. per lb. advance.
INDIGO SALE.—SIXTH DAY.
This sale continues to go off with spirit, and prices remain
as previously quoted, viz. from last sale prices to full 2d. per
lb. advance.
TEA SALE.—(TWELFTH DAY.)
Owing to the buyers, as it is understood, having to a con-
siderable extent supplied themselves, the sale now progresses
heavily. Prices cannot be quoted lower, but they must be
regarded as drooping; and it does not appear probable that
purchases will be made to any extent, except the holders will
submit to easier prices.
COLONIAL MARKETS.
News from the West Indies having arrived to the effect
that the blacks had very generally arranged the dis-
puted matter of wages with the planters, and that they
were at their regular work, the market for Colonial pro-
duce has become flat. British Plantation Sugar sells
very steadily ; the holders give way very reluctantly in-
deed ; still prices, where altered, must be quoted 6d. to
Is. lower. There was a public sale of Barbadoes Sugar:
The quotations arc not so high as they were, viz., from 555.
to 653. ; but are lower, say 6d. to ls. No public
sales of Coffee to-day. Rice, ],053 bags sold at prices vary-
ing according to quality. The article is firm. The quota-
tions are from 14s. to 17s. There were small sales of Ginger,
Nutmegs, Mace, and Cloves, all of which realized former
prices. Saltpetre—an inferior parcel, of 750 bags, sold, but it
is no criterion for the market. The quotations of the current
emmiodity are 21s. to 253. 6d. and 265., but these are merely
nominal. From these statements it will be seen that there
were no sales of sufficient magnitude to-day to affect the market.
The imports are light; for to-morrow Re have public sales
of small parcels of Ginger and Pimento. Coffee, 300 casks,
British Plantation ; Cocoa, British Plantation, 54 bags ; and
Sugar, 800 bogs Mauritius ; 250 Bengal ; and 120 casks,
B.srhadoes.
