yellow Havannah with more freedom, in consequence of a
reduction on last Friday's rates of 6d to is per cwt. having
been submitted to. White must be quoted at 6d cheaper.
With Brazil, the market having been more freely supplied,
produced a fall in the value to the extent of Is. per cwt.
COFFEE.—The market has a firm appearance for West
India, a fair quaotity of the lower descriptions having been
disposed of by private treaty at fully former rates; the
better qualities are much wanted at the previous currency,
but of such the supply is trifling.
MOLASSES.—For West India further reduced rates having
been taken, tempted buyers to operate with more freedom,
and several parcels of good quality have been sold. The stiff
rates insisted upon for Bengal Treacle operated against
business privately, and 67 'Aids at public sale of fine quality
were taken in at 27s per cwt. For Honey, prices are on the
decline.

TEA.—In Congou a good business has been transacted by
the town and country trade at the former currency. Of

is superior to that of last season. In Pouchong the opera-
tions are to a large extent, and at firm rates, In Souchong
the operations are upon a more extended scale, at 10d to 2s
2d, and tine at 2s 4d to 2s 10d. In Green Tea of good and
fine quality a large business has been transacted, and at
firm rates.

Cocos.—A considerable increase has taken place in the
demand for Foreign, and a rise in prices of 2s per cwt oc-
curred. British Plantation Is much wanted, and would bring
further advanced rates, but little is to be had.

with more freedom by private treaty, and the rates paid were
6d to is above those previously current.
FRUIT.—The Currant market is in a very unsettled state;
large parcels of damages continue to be forced off at public
sale, of which a considerable portion has been taken by the
exporters.
SPIRITS.—The leading feature in the Rum market this
week has been that of the Government contract for 100,000
gallons, half East and half Wcst India, which Las been
taken by Messrs. Lemon Hart and Co., of London-street, at
a high figure. The market for Jamaica has been in a tran-
quil state all the week; holders have submitted to rather
lower rates. Demerara has been in good request, and

large purchases have been made. Geneva has been in re-
quest.
