will be well supplied shortly, and the reduced duty is in
operation. Linseed Oil has been dealt in with greater
readiness for home purposes, and prices are

are retrogading-the last is not worth more than 369. At
public sale 50 casks were taken in at from 28s to 30s for
mid to fine. The moderate rates cause an increased
consumption. Cocoa Nut is neglected and offered
upon lower terms; the value acording to the quality
is from 31s to 38s; there is yet no increase in
the consumption, whilst the stock is extensive.

are paid; Gallipoli selling at 431 to 444 Spanish and
Sicily 411 to 421, Levant and Portugal 40/ to 411 per tun.

to 465, and Ground Nut 32. The sales made are trifling.
Teeeow.-Prices have further receded for Russian on
the spot, and rule at 41s 9d to 42s for P.Y.C., yet both
soap makers and chandlers operate with caution. For
forward delivery there has been little passing, as
low rates are expected to prevail. Home melted is
offered at 42s nett cash, still only a small
business has been concluded, and the supply is
much larger than last season. The public sales went off
with dulness and at reduced rates. Rough Fat is difficult
of sale at 2s 6d per stone, and the stock is unusually
large. For public sale the quantity of Tallow declared
s 400 cks, &c.
