TEA MARKET.

Prices firm, but there was not much demand for either
Free Trade or Company's.
TALLOW MARKET.

Although the stock of this article continues heavy, the
merchants refused to accept lower prices, but the trade are
still very unwilling to purchase, and the sales made arc for
actual consumption. The price of P. Y. C. on the spot is
525. 6d, per cwt.
DRIED-FRUIT MARKET.

The trade being averse to get into stock at present
high prices, consequently the demand continues dull for
both Raisins and Currants. Lower prices may, however,
be expected ere long, many cargoes being near at hand.
