vanced since last Friday on all descriptions fully 6d. per cwt.

and trs. Fine Barbadoes sold by private contract at 71s.

tius from the grocers by private contract, and stiffer prices have
been obtained ; no public sales have taken place, but 5,000
bags are advertised for Tuesday, and 1,600 bags for next Wed-
nesday, being part of the arrivals of this week.

cents at public sale were all bought in at 30s. Parcels of De-
merara are again reported at 295. and at 30s.
Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—The prices of Rum re-
main firm, and Jamaicas are scarce ; the Government contract
for 75,000 gallons, to be delivered at proof strength, was taken
yesterday afternoon by several parties at about 2s. ld. a
2s. 2id., the average of the whole was 2s. 21-d. for proof
strength, being ld. per gallon under the rates of the Market.

mand for raw spirits has been extensive ; 10,000 gallons proof

and 37,500 gallons at 2s. 20. Total 72,500 gallons.
COFFEE.—The grocers being again in want of British
Plantation Coffee, has occasioned a great deal of inquiry, but
owing to the Market being bare of Jamaicas, the arrivals this
week, amounting to 1,109 packages, have not yet been brought
forward : the purchases have necessarily been confined to small
parcels at fully former rates. There have been no public sales
of East India; the Market for Ceylon is still in an unsettled
state ; the demand was confined to small parcels by the Gro-
cers at 535. Three vessels have arrived in the river with up-
wards of 2,000 bags, the owners of which are trying to get
them admitted at the 6d. duty.—Mocha remains steady in
price, and there has been a brisk demand at 58s. for ordinary,
and 665. :a 645. for middling.—Samarang has been much in-
quired after at 48s. 6d. a 495. for fine, but there were few
sellers at these prices.—No public sales of. Foreign have oc-
curred ; there has been a brisk demand for St. Domingo ; the
sales are about 1,700 bags at stiffer prices, 500 bags of which
consisted of good ordinary pale bold berry at 555., and the re-
mainder low ordinary at 54s.—There is rather more doing in
Brazil, and the prices remain firm.

There were no public sales to-day of Plantation Coffee,
and little was done by private contract.
_ _

At auction, 258 bales Mocha, of old quality, imported in
the years 1831 and 1833, all sold at full prices, mid. to good
mid., not quite clean garbled, went at 775. at 795., very good
87s. 6d., rather ordinary mixed 655. a 675., rather better
70s. a 725. 6d., very high prices.
COCOA.—Arrivals of the new crop of West India have be-
gun to come in freely ; there is still little doing. The go-
vernment contract for 40 tons Brazil has been taken about
455. per cwt.
OlL—There has been but little demand for common Fish
Oils during the last two days, owing to a public sale of 200
tuns being announced for the Ist June ; but owing to the scar-
city of pale Seal, the stock in London not exceeding 50 tuns,
and that held by one house, an advance on last week's rates of
40s. is required, 43/. being now demanded. Sperm has again
advanced, 771. a 78/. paid, and the demand continues brisk ;
the chief part of the cargoes to arrive this season have been
sold; the business doing is chiefly for speculation. Owing to
the immense arrivals of East India Linseed, upwards of 36,000
bags having arrived since this day week, Oil has declined to
40s. 6d., and is still neglected. Rape has improved 6d. a Is.
and in better demand, ready buyers at 475., but no sellers now
under 475. 6d. a 48s.

TEA.— The market, since the conclusion of the late sales,
assumes a firm aspect. Hyson Skins and Twankays of the
low kinds hare been taken off freely, and also Fukien Boheas.
The late large arrivals have not produced the least effect upon
the market, for there has been a good deal of enquiry and :),d.
advance paid on the prices of the public sales for fine Congous.
METALS.—Extensive sales continue to be made in Spatter,
both on the spot and delivery, at 241. English Tin is in brisk
request for the hame trade, and prices have again improved.
In manufactured Copper extensive sales made this week.
Rim—Bengal Rice has been in brisk request for shipping
at former rates, 14s. 6d. paid for good quality, rather broken,
and 15s. 6d. a 16s. for fine bold, the arrivals this week have
furnished the market with an ample supply for the present.
CorroN.—There is still a great want of confidence in this
article, and which has been further increased by the late heavy
arrivals ; the trifling purchases this week are at former rates.
The sales are only 40 bales Bengal of ordinary quality at 50.
per lb.
FRUlT.—Currants of all descriptions have been in brisk re.
quest—there has been rather more doing in Raisins.
LAC DYE.---The demand continues brisk, principally fur
home consumption.
Woot.—The numercus orders which have arrived this week
from the American markets, for manufactured woollen, has
occasioned a great enquiry after wool, but the demand has
been in a measure checked by the smallness of the quantity
offering for sale. There has been some arrivals from Sydney,
in all about 600 bales of the new clip, and which will shortly
be followed by others ; public sales of which will take place in
the middle of next month.

ping nothing has been done.

former rates; silvers of mid. good quality sold at 7s. 4d. a

compelled to give way in price to the extent of Bs. a 10s. ;
Friezland selling at 78s. a 80s. ; Holstein 765. a-78s. ; other
sorts from 725. a 745. English is 2s. cheaper. New Scotch

quiet ; the prices remain firm. Lard and English and Irish
