CorFEE.—The trade have appeared very desirous to pur-
chaq. clean descriptions of West India Coffee this week, but the
small and indifferent supply at market has operated against buy-
ing; and the parcels disposed of by private contract have been
at an advance on previous rates of '2s ; Jamaica of middling and
goo:1 middling quality 126 s to 130 s : low middling 115 s to
118 s per cwt, unclean kinds at pr"vious rates, Java 80s to 829
for good to fine bold pale quality, superior fetched 83s to 84s
bulked at 80s per cwt, Ceylon 106 s to 107 s for small parcels
of good ordinary quality,ll4s to 115 s for middling clean quality ;
Cuba good ordinary mixed ,etched 62s 6d to 645, bold good
ordinary 74i to 775, fine and fine fine ordinary 58s to 995,
very coloury good middling 1083 to 1083 6d, pea berry 119 s to
120 s per cwt ; St. Domingo, from the Cape, good quality at

This afternoon a good demand prevailed by private contract
for all clean kinds of East and West India for home use, the
advanced rates quoted above were fully supported ; at auction
175 bags Java and 915 bags of other kinds were offered, the
former sold at the advanced rates of 90s to 90s 6d for bold yel-
low, and 81s to 84s for good and fine pale, which is al, advance
on the rates of the last auction of 4s to ss, the remainder was
Padang, subject to the is du y, and fetched 46s for good quality.
Rust, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—For Leeward Island
Rum there has been an active demand, shippers have been the
principal operators, and large purchases have been made for
New South Wales, the sales have amounted to 450 puns since
we last wrote, and the prices paid show an advance of 2d to
21,4 d per gallon ; proof to 3 per cent overproof have realized
3s 6d to 3s Bd, 6 to 12 over 3s 9d to 4s Id, 15 to 18 over 4s
3d to 4s 6d, 20 to 25 over 4s 8d to 4s 10d, 27 to 29 over 4s
Ild to 5; ld, 30 to 33 over 5s 2d to 5s 4d, 36 to 40 over 5s 5d
to 5s 6d. Jamaica has secured a fair sale at prices lei to 11Ad
above those of this day week : 350 puns have been sold, 27 to
30 per cent. overproof at 5s 6d to 5s Bd, 33 to 35 over 5s 9d to
6s, superior marks 6e Id to 6s 4d. The announcement of a
Government contract for 80,000 gallons cause holders of proof
Leewards to refuse to sell under 3s 7d per gallon. The arrivals
have been light. A fair amount of business has been tran-
sacted in Brandy, principally for home consumption, and prices
continue to improve : sales have been made at the following
terms, viz.—at 5s Id to 5s 2d for first brands of the vintage of
1836, 4s lld to 5s Id for do 1837, 4s 7d to 4s 9d for do 1838,
and Bordeaux 2s &I to 2s 9d per gallon, at these rates holders
are firm. In Geneva several sales have been made at 2s to 2s
Id per gallon. British Corn Spirits have secured a fair sale at
lOs per gallon, at this nnremunerating price, however; the dis-
tillers are not anxious to make contracts.

OlLS.—Linseed Oil at 22s to 22s 3d, Rape at previous rates.
For Palm, prices remain the same. Sperm still commands
high rates. In pale Seal and Cod Oil, a fair amount of busi-
ness has been transacted, at 301 to 311 for the former, and
29/. to 29/ lOs fur the latter.

This afternoon there were two public sales of Southern, con-
sisting of 300 tons; 120 tons of Palm Oil were also brought
forward—of the former, a small part only found buyers at
lower prices; low dark to fine pale quality selling at 221 lOs to
25/ 5s per ton ; of the latter, a small part has been disposed
of at 321 to 3215 s per cwt.
SPICES.—This afternoon the public sales consisted of 172
bags of Pimento, and 619 bags of shot Pepper ; the former
was only partly sold at 3d to 3d for low middling, and 3P for
good quality, which is rather cheaper ; the latter went at the
high figure of 4d for fine quality.
TALLOW.—Russian Tallow, first quality, has been disposed
of currently at 49s 9d, and in some cases 50s has been paid,
which is an advance on previous rates of 9d to is per cwt. For
delivery in the spring mouths, 49s 9d per cwt. For delivery in
the last three months, 48s to 48s 3d must be paid.
This afternoon the demand for Russian Tallow was good on
the spot as well as for delivery in the next two and three
months, and prices were firm at 49s 6d to 49s 9d for first
quality.
INDIGO.—To-day, previous to the opening of the sale, 577
chests were withdrawn. 760 chests have passed the sale. The
ord and low sorts of Bengal remain neglected, and are mostly
bought in at 6d to 9d discount on the rates of last sale ; the bid-
dings for the shipping qualities were however brisker at the
rates previously established; Madras is heavy of sale at 3d to 6d
discount on October prices ; Oudes mostly bought in and with-
drawn ; Bombay sold at 2s 6d to 2s 10d. About 380 chests
were taken in.

RrcE.—This afternoon there was not much desire shown to
do business in East India ; at the public sales, which consisted
of 5,000 bags Java, and 1,498 bags Bengal, the principal part
of the former, however, found buyers at full prices, low white
fetched lOs a lOs 6d, good mid lie a lls 6d, the latter was
partly sold at 14s a 14s 6d for good white, and 13s 6d for mid-
dling, being former rates, the remainder low yellow was taken in
at 10s a 101 6d per cwt.
