low to good white 18s to 22s 6d per cwt; importers of

COFFEE.-Holders of British Plantation Coffee having
supplied the market sparingly, have prevented any fur-
ther decline in prices for either clean or unclean de-
scriptions, but the market has presented a dull aspect ;
few purchases have been made, privately, and only 51
casks have been offered at auction, which went off quietly
at the former value, viz., Jamaica, low middling at
99s 6d, ordinary 545, Triage 25s 6d; Demerara, mid-
dling green, 84s 6d to 85s 6d, good ordinary 66s 6d per
cwt. For East India or Cape descriptions little inquiry
has existed for home consumption or shipping, and
prices have further given way, importers continuing to
press sales.
This afternoon the home trade evinced little desire to
operate in Coffee, and privately few purchases were
made in any kind. At auction 1,008 bags Company's
Java from the Cape, and 79 bags Bengal were offered ;
the former being held for stiff rates a small part only
found buyers at 59s to 59s 6d for fine ord green, the re-
mainder was taken in and withdrawn at 60s ; the latter
went at 40s 6d to 42s per cwt.
TEA.-The public sales which commenced on Friday
last were brought to a conclusion on Wednesday, the
trade operating with caution, although there was a
good attendance, and the biddings throughout were
languid for both black and green descriptions ; this
may be attributed to the large quantity offered ;
importers, however, being desirous to realise, and
submitting to a reduction on former rates of id to lid
for Congou, the decline being chiefly on the best sorts,
and ld to 2d per lb for green descriptions, as compared
with former sales.
Since the sales a good demand has existed for Pou-
chong, and Is 5d to is 9d have been paid for common
and good sorts ; the former has been the most in re-
quest, but for other kinds of Tea the market has been
in a dull state, 8,000 packages being declared for
sale on Tuesday, 10,000 for the 3d of December,
and 5,000 for the 10th ; holders, however, have re-
fused to sell under the rates established at the sales.

Company's Congou have moved off slowly, and closed
yesterday at Is 9i-d to is 9id, cash and short prompts.
The Ivanhoe has arrived from China, with 445,1391bs

of Tea, Scaleby Castle 1,622,3021b5., and Duke of Lan•
caster with 689,5011b5, besides which, five vessels have
passed St. Helena.
To-day there was littlo business transacted in free

trade Tea, but prices were: pretty steady, considering
there was a large prompt; is 9d to is 90 is the value of
ord and good ord Congou cash, but Company's Ccngou
moved off steadily at is 9d to Is 9id per lb.
