SPlCES.—Pimento this week has been quiet, prices keep
steady. Pepper is again held for advanced rat, which has
much checked the demand. Cinnamon is inrair request,
large arrivals expected shortly. Export Nutmegs are scarce
and much wanted at ss. Id., but the home consuming kinds-
are dull of sale. All other sorts of Spices are quiet, but prices
are not lower. 500 bales and chests Cinnamon are advertised
for auction on the 20th June. Cassia Lignea is held firmly
by the late speculators at 665. to 685., and the importation will
it is expected be much less this year than last.
FRUIT.—The transactions have been very limited ; in prices
no change.
WooL.—The demand for Foreign has been confined to
same parcels of low qualities at former rates. Three vessels
have arrived off our Coast from Sydney having on board 1,000
bales of the new clip, and which are anxiously looked for by
the manufacturers to be brought to public sale, the trade
being much in want of those descriptions, the import from our
Colonies will this year be greater than that of last. English
Wools are in good demand, the clipping is proceeding with
much rapidity, but will not prove equal to that of last season.
MAIIOGAN Y.—The Mahogany Market is very brisk ; at
auction 243 logs Honduras sold readily at an advance on pre-
vious rates of id. a id.' and averaged 11/41. per foot.
Oms.—The market for Fish Oils is generally dull, except
for Sperm which is on the advance, and in brisk request.
Linseed Oil is heavy, and ls. a Is. 6d. lower; some sales
made as low as 41s. Rape is 6d. cheaper. The inferior quali-
ties of Olive are easier ; the demand very moderate.
COTTON.—The arrivals of East India have been heavy this
week, exceeding 9,000 bales ; the Market is still in a heavy
state, and no accurate prices can be named. At Liverpool
prices keep up, but there is, little demand. This afternoon
the Market continued in a dull state, but no general reduction
can be quoted. The private sales for the week are as under,
which have gone off at rather easier prices :-150 Surat, or-
dinary to good fair at 6d. a 84d. ; 20 Madras, good fair, Bd.
SALTPETRE.—The market for Rough Saltpetre continues
extremely brisk ; large quantities have been disposed of by
private contract, partly on speculation, and the remainder for
shipments to the Baltic; Calcutta 30s. a 31s. Gd. and 325. for
2to 5 per cent. refraction, and ord. Madras, 28s. The public
sale of last Friday, which was only partly sold, has been nearly
all disposed of this week, at 325. for 4 to 51 per cent. refraction.
The arrivals have been heavy, amounting to 10,000 bags since
last Friday. English Refined has advanced to 345. 6d. a 355.,
and the demand has been good. We have stated sales of
Rough at 323., but this afternoon good quality is offered at
SOs. 6d. a 31s. Refined may be had at 345., and little doing.
HOPS.—The fine weather has caused the Hop trade to be
dull, but the supply being short, the prices continue steady.

TOB Icco.—the limited sales of Tobacco are confined to the
home dealers. There are some small export orders in the
market to be executed, but the prices have a tendency down-
ward than otherwise. No further purchases have been made
for the Sardinian market by the contractors.

TURPENTINE.—Spirits h'ave been taken sparingly at our re-
daced quotations, Rough has given way to 17s. Gd. per cwt.

PRICE OF BREAD.

The highest price of Brcad in the Metropolis is Bd. for the 41b. Loaf
There are others who sell from a halfpenny to three half-pence below
that rate.
