sirous to purchase Free Trade Tea, and. by private treaty
a good deal of business was done, and rather higher rates
were paid ; Congou was most in request. The public
sales on Tuesday were well attended, and the demand was
excellent, 6,600 pkgs being actuallys old out of 7,423
pkgs offered, and the prices paid established an advance on
those of the auctions of Friday of id per lb; Congou

two days the trade has operated with caution by private
treaty, and the market has presented a quiet aspect, in
some cases rather lower rates have been taken for cash par-
cels ; the falling off in the demand is principally to be at.
tributed to further public sales being declared, which are
as follows:-5,00( pkgs for Tuesday, 3,000 for Friday,
and 8,000 for the 8:h December. At the commencement
of the week there was sonic stir in the speculat;ac market,
and prices advanced to 2s Sid for Company's Coba;ou
cash, and 2s 4d to 23 4id with prompts, upon which
terms a good deal of business was transacted ; but
the transactions have been limited during the last few
days, and prices have fallen to 2331 d cash, and 2s 31d to
2s 4d prompts. The deliveries of Tea at this port last
week amounted to 395,0001 b.
