The sale-room presented a very full appearance,
there being a good attendance both of foreign and home
buyers. The sales opened with a parcel of Bengal, and
after the announcement of a few withdrawers (176
chests), biddings commenced, but without animation,
and continued so throughout. From the numerous large
failures of houses iu the East India trade, combined with
the extreme tightness of the money market, and the very
large quantity brought forward, it is not to be wondered
at, that prices were expected to give way considerably ;
this has been the case to some extent, and we quote as
follows :—for Bengal, the firer qualities Id to 2d, and
•for consumers 3d to 4d per lb lower ; Kurpah and
Madras, Id to 2d per lb lower; 1,201 chests have passed
to-day, from which 324 chests have been withdrawn, and
427 chests brought in, leaving 450 actually sold.
During the last two days the sales have gone at a
further decline and heavily. The quantity passed is
2,310 chests, of which 566 chests passed, and 1,634 were
withdrawn.
