Price.

some parcels, however, have arrived, and others are near
at hand-:

W00r4.-There has been brisker demand for colonial
at the public sales, and which are still in progress; but
prices show.a decline as compared with those of the last
auctions, as the quantity to be offered is yet large. In
other kinds the operations are upon a more extended
scale, but not at higher rates.

Urns.—For Southern Oil further reduced rates having
been submitted to occasioned the demand to be good, by
private treaty for all qualities, and 64 tuns at public
sale were disposed of. For Pale Seal reduced rates
having been submitted to caused extensive purchases to
be made on the spot. For Cod the demand has been
only for small parcels at 26/ lOs to 27/; the trade only
take in sufficient for their present wants, and there is a
fair stock. Sperm dull of sale. Rapeseed Oil on further
reduced terms, still there are few buyers to be met with.
Linseed Oil has been purchased with increased freedom
on the spot for home consumption, whilst export orders
to a fair extent have been executed, and the supply is
small. There is still little disposition evinced to operate
in Olive Oil for home consumption or exportation. In
the value of Palm no further improvement has taken
place, but a good business has been transacted, chiefly
by the home trade. Cocoa Nut is wanted, and stiffer
rates are offered, but the supply is yet small.
TALLOW.—There has been less demand for Russian on
the spot, but at present there is little variation to record
in the value, there is, however, more desire shown to
sell fine Petersburg yellow Candle at 50s 6d to 51s per
cwt. For forward delivery prices are rather lower, and
only a small amount of business has been transacted at
47s 3d to 47s 6d for the last three months of the year.
Other sorts of tallow have slightly fallen in value, but
the parcels offered at auction were all disposed of.
