been good by private treaty from exporters, and the
purchases made by them have been at prices showing an
advance, on those previously current, of 6,1 per cwt.

3s 6d to 4s 4d per lb.

torily, and nearly as large, as they were in the past

those of late years, and the quantity expected to arrive
is small. Holders have confidence, and submitted none
to public auction; but privately the purchases made
have been of little moment.

sold, whilst the rates obtained were equal to those of the
last auctions. There was adi sire generally on the part
of the trade to get supplied, as prices ruled moderate,
compared with late years; whilst there is a large con-
sumption going on. Other sorts met with a good de-
mand, .and brought fair market rates.
OILS.—The market for common Fish Oils has pre-
sented a firm appearance since our last report, and there
has been a falling off in the supply, whilst the arrivals
have been of little moment. Pale Seal met with a
bt isk demand, and brought stiffer rates. In
Cod several transactions have taken place at
271 5s to 271103 and at which holders are firm. South-

good home demand, whilst exporters have been pur-
chasers to a fair extent; there is, however no further im-
provement to notice in the value, as the supply is larger.

upon higher prices, and only small purchases have
been made. For Palm the market is in a quiet state,
and prices are on the decline. although there is not a
large stock, for fine quality 34s to 353 per cwt having
been accepted. Fur Cocoa Nut prices rule high on ac-
count of the small supply, but purchasers operate with
caution, still they are compelled to pay 55s to 56s for
fine Cochin, and 54s to 55s for fine Ceylon. In Lard
Oil little has been done, but fine is held for Oils to 495.
