Russ, BRANDY AND 11OLLANDS— The demand for West
India Rum has been limited from the HoMe Trade, they
buying only sufficient for their immediate wants, and for
export there are few orders, prices have given way Old to
ld for common sorts of Jamaica as well as Leewards ; but
good qualities have maintained former rates, and choice
marks are rather scarce. The sales of Jamaica has been

reductiDn in prices, and the chief part of 2320 bags at a
public sale was taken in at previous rates, viz. fine white
at 13s 6d to Ms, middling at 12s to 12s 6d, and cargo at
2s. A few piles of good white sold at 133 per cwt. Java

stock of rice continues heavy, being much greater than
last year at this time, and several parcels are daily ex-
pected. Carolina has sold well to the home trade at 34s
to 36s per cwt.

TEA:—The accounts received from China last week,
stating that the Chinese had purchased some European
vessels, bad seized others with the intention to man and
arm them against our fleet, and had taken means that no
intermediate trade should be carried on with the English,
produced much life in the market here for Tea; buyers
were much more desirous to do business, and holders de-
manded advanced rates. In Company's Congou a
large business was crone in cash parcels, particularly
towards the close of the week, and prices advanced
to 2s 4d to 2s 4id, at the latter figure one parcel
of 2,000 che,ts was sold. For Free Trade there was an
active demand; capitalists as well as consumers were free
buyers, and prices improved; Common Congou for cash
sold currently at 2s 4d, Twankay 2s 32d to 2s 4d, and cc-
veral parcels of good Hyson were disposed of at 2s 83 per lie
the transactions were chiefly confined to parcels fur money.
The deliveries are on the increase, and last week amounted to
306,0001b5, The stocks held by the dealers are getting
into a small compass. The Alexander Baring is tire only
ship at present advertised for China for the chance of
next season's crop.
Yesterday accounts were received from Canton to tha
75th March, by express from Paris, stating that the
Chinese had attempted to burn the English shipping —at
Totigkoo, but had failed : the Emperor bad ordered the
suspension of all Trade with Foreigners, and had given
Lin discretionary power ; but with respect to the stopping
of the Trade wi.h all nations, the Chinese talk of renew-
ing the same upon certain conditions. The British forces
had embarked from Madras on the 16;h April.
4,The effect of the above was, contrary to general expect-
ation, to cause speculation in Company's Congou to be less
desirous to do business ; but few purchases were made,
and prices declined on 'Change yesterday to 2s 3d for
cash, and 2s 3id to 2s 4d for prompts. For Free
Trade thre has been less demand, but the rates
established last week have been supported The
accounts being rather vague, is to be
ascribed to the falling off in the demand, buyers generally
being disposed to wait until the merchant's letters are re-
ceived, as by that means the real state of how the shipping
is placed will be then known, and which is the
principal thing the trade are anxious to get at ; some part
of the accounts come to hand last week, are not confirmed
by the express of yesterday.
To-day only a limited demand existed for Free Trade
Tea, and prices are somewhat lower, the merchants letters
from China not having yet been delivered, tends to make
the market quiet, and the bu iness doing is exclusively for
cash • common Congou is selling at 2s. '2d. Good
blackish leaf descriptions at 2s 3d to 2s sd, and
Twankay at 26 3d for common, and good at 2s 4d per lb.
For Company's Congou few buyers, and prices have
fallen to 2s 14d to 2s 2d, cash. Quantity of Tea
shipped for England from Hong Kong and Tonghoo
since the Ist July, 1839 :-4,643,6091bs Congcu ;
21,042 Caper; 61,174 Souchong ; 66,900 Pekoe;
271,623 Orange Pekoe; 282,400 Hy son; 45,778 Young
Hyson ; 38,700 Hyson Skin ; 1,222,907 Twankay ;
138,809 Gunpowder; and 60,000 lbs Imperial. The total
quantity of Silk was 1191 bales. The declaration for the
next sales, namely, oil Monday, has been issued, and
contains the small quantity of 15637 pkgs. 8936981b5.
289,352 lbs of which is Congou. and 57,522 lbs Twankey.
This afternoon the market for Free Trade was very
quiet, there being a doubt entertained as to whether the
Chinese had actually stopped the trade with all nations,
caused buyers of Tea to operate with caution. Common
Congou for cash, left off at 23 11(1, Twankay 2s 2id per
lb:. and the price of Company's Congou on 'Change was
2s 11c1 money, but with few buyers.
