as the supply is small, a further advance in the value is
apparent. At public sale 45 bags of Trinidad were sold
at 45s 6d for good red, and 41s 6d to 43s 6d for mid-
dling and good grey; of superior red the supply is un-
usually small. Former rates are well kept up for
Foreign, and only a small amount is on offer; the value
is from 27s to 28s per cwt.
COFFEE.—The market has presented a tranquil ap-
pearance for all descriptions of ',Vest India this week,
and although a smaller amount is on offer, vet the ten-
dency of prices is to recede. The public sales of Coffee
declared comprise 1,085 bags Brazil, 260 bags 14 casks
Ceylon, and 2,240 bales Mocha. To-day there was no
public sale of Coffee, and the private operations are of
little moment. Prices generally tend downwards, and
rule at 31s to 33s for Native Ceylon.
TEA.—Black is not offered at any reduction, still the
sales made have been of little moment, and large parcels
could only be sold, but at lower rates. The value of
low and good" common Congou is 7id to Bid per If 4
There are sellers of Green at lower rates, still
few buyers are to be met with, and many
parcels are on offer, more especially of good
and fine kind:. There is not much demand for Black
leaf Pekoe, and sales can be made at lower rates, but
for good and fine Scented Pekoe the demand is brisk,
and prices incline upward. One public sale is at present
declared. The stock is still less than last year, notwith-
standing the late arrivals.
RICE.—To-day there was little passing in the East
India Rice market, still no further decline in the value
was visible. At public sale 1,750 bags were nearly all
taken iu at lls to Ils 6d for good white Bengal, 9s for
middling broken, and 8s for Batavia.
SPICES.—For Pimento a good demand has been ex-
perienced, and the rates obtained are fully equal to
those current by private treaty, although supplies are
upon an extended scale. At auction 1,000 bags were
disposed of, mid at 3id to 30, coarse 331-d to 31d,
and damaged aid to 3d per 'lb. By private contract
several parcels have been disposed of, and at similar rates.
Opinion is favourable as to the future position of the
market. Black Pepper is limited in supply, and the
rates offered are fully equal to those of this day week.
The market has a quiet appearance for Nutmegs—
brown of low and mid quality realise 2s 3d to 2s Bd, bet-
ter sort 2s 9d to 3s 4d, and fine 3s 5d to 3s 9d; for limed
there are few buyers, and 2s to 2s 9d is the value, ac-
cording to quality. ace is in fair demand, at is 10d to
2s 4d, and good to fine 2s 6d to 2s 10d; there is also no
increase of supply. Ginger has been dealt in with
greater freedom; the supply is also falling off, and the
tendency of prices is to advance. East India export sort
is 22s to 255, home trade kind 30s to 90s. African and
Barbadoes 28s to 30s, Jamaica 21 to 6110 s, and fine 71to
