nature. The duty for the kingdom is estimated at

SPlRlTS.—lmporters of Jamaica Rum have been free
sellers this week, but submitting to a reduction on for-
mer rates of id to 2d per gallon occasioned the demand
to be good for all sorts, but the home trade were the
chief operators. The total sales amounted to 400 puns,
31 to 38 per cent, over proof of middling to good mid-
dling quality at 3s 8d to 3s 10d; 31 to 36 over good
4s to 4s 2d ; 36 to 38 over fine and superior 4s ad
to 4s. Bd. Demerara is not cheaper, but the
sales are only 100 puns at 3s 6d to 3s 8d
for 38 per cent overproof. There are sellers of Leeward
Island upon reduced terms, but the purchases made
have been trifling at 2s 4d to 2s 5d proof strength. East
India is dull of sale and prices are on the decline. At
auction 130 hhas of fair brown Madras only fetched 26
per gallon proof with certificate. Of Calcutta only small
parcels found buyers at 2s ld to 2s 2d. The market is
well supplied with all sorts of Rum. In the prices of
Brandy there is no variation to notice this week, but all
kinds have met with a dull sale.

The market for East India is in a dull
state, and there are sellers in some cases rather under
last sale's rates. Spanish is not much in request.
