of the new crop at public sale sold at prices in favour of
the buyers. For good ordinary Native Ceylon the
market is in a dull state at 41s, but for fine ordinary there
appears to be a better demand at 43s to 43s 6d per cwt.
TEA.—Although the arrivals have again been large,
still none has bee submitted to public competition; but
by private treaty the market is plentifully supplied
ith all kinds of black and green. The purchases made in
the low and better sorts of Cengon have been to a small
extent, notwithstanding the moderate rates that exist.
Fine and good sorts of green are held for the previous
worth; but the amount of business transacted has been
of little moment. Of low and mid qualities, the trade
have been induced to take large parcels, owing to the
low rates, at which there are sellers.
RICE.—To-day further advanced rates being wanted
for Bengal Rice operated against business, and nearly
the whole of the sound of 4,080 bags at public sale was
taken in at 19s 6d for fine white bright pearl, but the
damaged sold at 18s to 19s for first class, and at 11s 6d
to 17s 6d for other sorts.

SPIOES.—To-day Mace met with attention, and 11
cases of Penang at auction were sold at stiff rates. 31
casks of Dutch limed Nutmegs, for exportation only,
partly sold at lower rates.
SPIRITS.—The arrivals of all descriptions of Rum are
still exceeding the deliveries, and no improvement
having taken place in the demand, prices are still droop-
ing. Although there are sellers of East India at lower
rates, still there are few buyers, and 3s 2d to 3s 3d is the
value of proof Calcutta with certificate ; at auction 167
casks of Madras were taken in at these rates. For Leeward
Island the orders are unusually small, and 3s 4d to 3s 5d
is about the value of proof strength, but if parcels were
to be pressed for sale, these prices could not be obtained.
Jamaica has been operated in with much caution, but
exporters and the home trade, and it is difficult to
give accurate quotations. Demerara is dull of sale.
There are sellers of all kinds of Rum under present rates.
There is still scarcely any desire evinced to purchase
Rum for Ireland or Scotland. Holders of Brandy are
yet desirous to realise, there having been further arrivals,
still the demand has been limited for home use and ex-
port. Geneva is not much wanted for exportation, and
prices are on the decline. Fine for home use is little
wanted. For British Corn Spirits the demand is on the
increase. Gin is in good demand.
COCHINEAL.—Tbis afternoon therre was not much de-
sire evinced to operate at the public sales, which con-
sisted of 260 bags of Honduras silvers, when not above
a third part sold at a fall on former rates of 1d per lb.
OsLs.—Although Linseed Oil can be obtains d upon
further reduced terms . still the home demand has been
limited. For forward delivery there are sellers at 265.
to 26s 3d. Cocoa Nut Oil is held for the former worth.
For Rape Seed Oil a good demand exists, but prices
are not so firm. Olive has been only in moderate request,
and there appears to be more disposition on the part of
holders to realize, For Palm the demand is on
the increase ; still prices do not improve. Lard Oil is
not much wanted, and can be obtained at 43s to 48s.
Cod O►l can be obtained at 271 to 271 lOs per tun ; still
buyers have operated with caution. Seal has been
sparingly dealt it. Southern is little wanted. For
Sperm the market is firm, the demand active, and the
supply small.
TALLOW.--Holders of Russian on the spot are still
desirous to realise, and have further reduced their
prices 6d to 9d per cwt ; still the purchases made have
been limited. For delivery in the last three months of
the year, there are sellers at 465, but few buyers are to
be met with. Home made Tallow on the spot met with
a slow sale, and prices are going down. For other sorts
of Tallow the market is in a dull state, and prices are Oh
the decline. Deliveries have again become small.
Prices are much above those of this time last year.
