scarce, brought nearly the former value. The total sales of

EAST INDIA.—This afternoon there was not a steady demand
for white sorts of Bengal, and full prices were paid; other sorts
quiet, but not generally cheaper; the quantity offered at auc-
tion were 5,146 bags, which nearly all sold, mid to fine white at
67s to 71s, soft good white at 67s 6d, and low brown to good,
yellow at 40s to 563 per cwt.
FOREIGN.--The transactions in this market continues to be
upon a very limited scale, and generally much heaviness pre-
vails, but the merchants will not make any concession as re-
gards prices, and nearly the whole quantity brought to public
sale has been bought in above the 7alue ; 137 chests 114 boxes
285 hrls Pernambuco taken in at 20s to 25s for low soft to good

reporting have taken place, and the market is indifferently sup-
plied, especially with yellow flavannah.
WEST INDIA NIOLASSF.S. —The prices of this article have
given way a little, which has been an inducement to the bitters
to come forward more freely, and about 400 puns have chan*ged
hands, at from 22s to 27s fix low to fine quality ; 60 puns St.
Lucia at public sale went at 22s to 22s 6d per cwt.
HUM, BRANDY, AND 11oLnaarns.—Prices remain much
the same as last week, and the transactions are limited
to about 150 puns Leewards, proof strength, at 2s Id
per gallon. Brandy continues firm, and a good de-
mand has prevailed principally from the home trade
and speculators, Cognac first brands of the vintage of 1835
has been selling at 5s 9d in hhds, puns 5s 7rl; ditto 1837 hhds
5s 6d, puns 5s 4d ; ditto 1838 hhds 5s 4d, puns 5s 2d ; ditto

has decreased considerably of lite. Geneva has been in good
demand by the shippers at 2s ld to 2s 2d, and small P arrels of
fine fetch 2s 7d to 2s 8d for home consumption. Prices remain
at lOs 4d for British Corn Spirits for cash, and are likely so to
continue for a few weeks, there being a fair demand.
TEA.—We have this week to report a more settled market
for Tea, with a somewhat firmer appearance, and rather in-
creased demand to meet the wants of the trade, who have been
compelled to pay rather stiffer rates for some sorts, but mare
especially the low kinds of Congou, which has become
scarce, Is 91c1 to Is 10d cash paid for common Congou, and
this price may now be considered the lowest point of the
market. Twankay of low quality has also been sold at Is 10d
per lb cash. No public sales have been brought forward,. nor
are there any declared at present. Company's Conognorkireirenthe
early part of the week, was Is gad cash, advanced is lOd
es-
day to is lOid, but have subsequently become dull at
per lb cash.
