FRUlT.—There has been a good deal doing in 211
el•!scriptions this week ; of Valencia Raisins the ar-
rivals arc again large, but consist mostly of only
middling quality : among the :ate ar'-ivals of Currants also
th re is the largest portion of ordinary- parcels; with Figs
Suli.oa Raisins the market is well supplied, and the
impinters, are pressing sales according to quality :
of other

'l'Ea.—Although theaccountsreceived from China are of
a highly important character. still they have had no eflat on
the pi ices of Free Trade Tea, and the transactions have
been only to a limited extent for actual consumption. SPc-
culators have refrained fromoperating, being aPPre.
bensive that the taki 'g the capital of Chusau (Tingbae)
and other proceedings of the English forces. will
speedily bring about a settlement of the misunder-
standing with the Chinese. At the public saies
on Tuesday the biddings were languid, and jai-,
porters with difficulty obtained an advance of Id to ka
on last Friday's sales for Congou ; other kinds want at
former prices. 0. 9,500 packages offered only 4,000 were
disposed of at the following rates—Congou, good rod
coarse but iresh 2s 3.d to 2; 31d, but mid burnt
blackish leaf, rather fresh, 2s 4id, but mid rather strong

4s Id ; Orange Pekoe 3s 6d per lb. Since the sales the

lower rates have teen submitted to.
In the speculative market there was a good deal of bu a
ness transacted on Tuesday, and of Company's Cong°,,dfd,
that day nearly 3,000 chests were sold for cash at
