small, whilst there ar© sellers rather under former rates,
and the market is well supplied. _ _

MOLASSES.—FuII rates have been obtained for West
India; still there has been less activity in the market,
and only small purchases have been made at from Its to
18s per cwt. There is also not a better supply at market,
and the stock is still getting smaller. The sales made
in Bengal Treacle have been small, at 14s 6d to 15s.

are sellers upon rather lower terms, whilst a fair amount
is on offer. The moderate rates, however, occasion the con-
sumption to be larger than in the former year; at public

for low and middling Trinidad, and at 383 for St. Vin-

quiet for Native Ceylon at 38s to 38s 6d for good ord.

and sellers are willing to accept rather lower rates; the
quantity on offer is also still large, especially of the
better sorts. For common and good common Congou

limited at 9d to 9Ad. There are few buyers of other
sorts, and sellers are ready to accept 10d to is 2d for
medium, and is 3d to is 9d for good and fine blackish
leaf and Pekoe kinds. Other sorts of Tea met vvith
little attention, and can be obtained upon rather loiNtr
terms. No public sale is at present declared.

fair demand throughout the day for all qualities of

paratively neglected. Kurpahs have been in good de-
mand, but the ord and low sorts of dry leaf Madras sold
