nary 43s to 443, low ordinary unclean 38s, triage 32s to

7 barrels at 34s for low ordinary. 73 barrels 1 hail-
barrel Rio were taken in at 32s for fine ordinary.
TEA.—Since our last report holders have manifested
firmness, and refrained from submitting any to public
competition. In Black only a moderate amount of busi-
ness has been transacted, but holders are firm. The
purchases made in Green have been of little moment in
any kind; still, on the part of holders there is firmness,
and they insist upon the following rates:—Hyson, ordi-
nary is 2d to Is 4d, mid and but mid
is 5d to 2s, good 2s 2d to 2s 6d, fine 2s 8d

SPICES —llk afternoon at auction 72 bls cf Jamaica
Ginger sold at easier rates ; 500 bags Malabar in part
A,dd at 24s for hold wormy shipping sort. Nutmegs ar
%anted, and 10 ca.lis at auction sold at full rates.
SPIRITS.—Since Tuesday last exporters and'the home
trade purchased all qualities of Jamaica with reluctance,
although merchants have been desirous to sell, andrac-
cepted prices rather under those that existed previously.
The total sales are only 200 puns. There is a fair
supply, especially of the low and middling qualities.
Demerara is dull of sale, and prices are on the
decline ; only 100 puns have been sold since our
last report. Leeward Island is offered upon fur-
ther reduced terms, still the purchases made have
been trifling at 2s Id to 2s 2d proof strength, and
the supply is good. For East India the market is in a dull
state,..aud_there are sellers at is 10d to 2s proof with
certificate, whilst the supply continues Onifie- increase.
For Havannah there are few home or export buyers.
Brandy is yet little required by shippers or the home
trade, and there is still a desire on the part of holders to
sell at low rates. Geneva sells slowly. at 2s 8d for ex-
portation sorts, and 3s 2d to 3s 6d for fine home con-
sumption kind. For British Corn Spirits the market is
quiet at 108 6d proof. Gin is only in moderate demand;
17 per cent under proof at 93 Bd, and 22 under 9s 2d
per gallon.
RICE.—To-day the busitiess transacted by private
treaty in East India Rice was of little moment, either
for exportation or home consumption. At public sale
4,803 bags have been offered, and nearly the whole taken
in at the former value. The market looks very dull for
all kinds of East India Rice.

COCHINEAL—On the part of holders therels more
firmness, and they supply the market less freely, but
privately there are at present few purchases for home
consumption or exportation. At public sale 7 bags of
Honduras went at 4s lld to 5s 3d for middling to good
silvers, being the full value. For auction 160 bags are
declared. The stock is smaller than it was last year,
and the deliveries are greater, whilst prices are as low.
The arrivals, however, are much larger than they were
in 1846 up to this time.
FRUlT.—Currants are still wanted, and of old large
parcels have been sold, Zante and Cephalonia at 40s,
and Patras at 38s to 40s. New are wanted, fine Patras
at 455. On the part of merchants there is firmness.
Valentin Raisins have been operated in with cau-
tion, owing to the high rate of 50s being
still asked for new, and the supply is on the increase.
Muscatels are only in moderate demand at 60s to 755,
Sultanas 70s. New Turkey pulled Figs are in demand
at 60s to 70s. New Jordan Almonds sell slowly at 101
los to ill. The accounts received from Malaga of the
destruction of a great portion of the new crop, caused
holders of old to advance their prices 4s to 5s per cwt.
Chesme Raisins are firm.

On.s.—ln the value of Fish Oils little variation has
taken place since our last report, and the arrivals have
been unimportant. On the part of holders there is firm..
ness, and the market has been again moderately sup-
plied. In Seal purchases to a fair extent have been
made upon the following terms :—Pale at 281 lOs to 291,
straw 281, yellow 25/ los to 261 10s, and brown 24/ 10a
to 251. Cod met with a good demand, and is with
difficulty to be obtained under 281. Southern of all kinds
is wanted, and the parcels disposed of by private
treaty were at fully former rates, whilst at auction 40
tuns found buyers at 24/ 10s to 271 lOs for low to fine.
For Sperm a good demand has been experie need, and
the prices obtained have been 841 to 86/ for fair to fine
quality. On the part of holders there is firmness, and
they supply the market less freely. At public sale 6 tuns
found buyers—good quality at 841, low and very low 701
to 80/ per tun, and the value of headmatter is 851 to 871.
The home trade continue to be almost the exclusive
purchasers of Fish Oils. There is less demand for
Olive, and merchants are not so firm, only a limited
business has been concluded. Gallipoli at 481 to 481 lOsa
Spanish and Sicily 46/ lOs to 47/10s; Barbary, Levant,
and Portugal 44/ 103 to 46Z The deliveries, however,
still exceeding the arrivals. For Linseed the home
demand has been good, whilst shippers have been pur-
chasers to a fair extent, and the rates paid on the spot,
have been 26s 6d to 26s 9d.

TALLOW. —For Russian prices have not much im-
proved, but on the part of the home trade more desire
has been manifested to operate. On the spot a good
demand has been experienced„and 46s 6d to 46s 9d have
been the rates obtained for fine new P. Y. C.
At auction 129 casks of old went at 45s 6d

to 45s 94 for first quality, 50 casks of Odessa Ox
45s 9d, and 25 casks of Archangel 43s 9d to 455. For
forward delivery many contracts have been entered into
at 45s 6d to 46s for P. Y. C. Home-made sells more freely
at 47s to 48s net cash. All other kinds of Tallow arc
more required, and former rates are fully supported, but
the supply continues to be good ; at auction 235 casks
Australian were sold, fine at 46s to 46s 6d, and low to good
at 44s 3d to 458 9d per cwt. The stock has been further
increased, and is greater than it was in the past year,
still prices are above those of that time ; but the deli-
veries are larger, and the arrivals show an increase, At
St. Petersburgh the shipments of Tallow have exceeded
those of th• past season by nearly 20,000 casks. For
auction here 400 packages are declared for Friday. The.
value of Rough Fat is 2s 9d per stone.
