have been sold at is 8d to Is 9cl proof strength. East
India met with little attention, and proof is only worth
Is 6d to is 7d. Demerara is not much in demand, and
strong sorts can be obtained at 3s to 3s 3d. Brandy is
not offered at any further reduction, but the home and
export demand has been limited, and the supply keeps
good.
FRUlT.—There have been three public sales this week,
consisting of 85 butts 41 caroteels Patrgs Currants,
damaged, a part sold from 42s to 455; 4,113 drums

in at 655. 1,550 boxes New Valentia Raisins

tract has been put on the market at the same price. Of
new Currants there have been several arrivals this week,
new Cephalonia and Zante; the two first cargoes in
London opened at 435, quality fine; new Pettus gc off
steadily at 455. Of new Turkey Figs the arrivals have
been considerable, and a great proportion of very inferior
quality, and much out of condition; fine meets a ready
sale at good prices.
COCHINEAL.—This afternoon Cochineal met with less
attention, and 41 bags at auction sold at 4s 6d to 4s 7d
for good Teneriffe Silvers for exportation only, being
rather cheaper. 200 bags are declared for auction.
TURPENTINE.—Rough has fallen in value, and not
much business has been done ; the latest rates accepted
were 9s 6d to 9s 9d. For Spirits the market is in a
dull state, and prices are on the decline, British drawn
selling at 42s to 435, and American at 43s to 43s 63. Tar
is still wanted, and the parcels sold were at 18s to 18s 6d
for Stockholm, and at 19s 6d to 20s per barrel for
Archangel. _

Ons.—A further increase has taken place in the
stock of Fish Oils, and although there are sellers at a
further reduction in prices, yet there is no increase to
notice in the demand from exporters or the home
trade. This afternoon at public sale 45 casks Cochin
Cocoa Nut Oil sold at 62s 9d to to 64s for fine.
