on Tuesday, and the quantity declared is extensive,

scarcely any business has been transacted this week
either in home trade or shipping sorts.
TEA.—The inactivity in the market for all kinds of
Black has increased, and there are sellers at a fur-
ther decline in prices, whilst there is a larger quantity

be obtained id to id, and the better sorts Id to
2d per lb, under the rates that existed two week,
still little disposition has been shown on the
part of the town and country trade to operate by private
treaty this week in any kind. Other kinds of black met
with a dull sale, and are offered upon rather lower terms.
Green Tea of all kinds has been purchased in with
caution, and there are sellers at a fall on former rates
of id for common, and Id to 2d for the better kinds,
whilst there is a plentiful supply. Scented Teas are dull
of sale, and rather cheaper.
SALTPETRE.—Rough is much required by exporters
or the home trade, but in the value we have little varia-
tion to make known this week, none having been sub-

however, is downwards. The market will be better sup-
plied shortly, and lower rates are looked for.

desire to receive contracts at 32s 6d to 335. Nitrate of
Soda is dull of sale, and prices are on the decline.
