obtained, but inferior and grey sorts have been operated
in with caution, and are easily to be obtained on former
term,. At public sale 341 bags of Trinidad were offered.

ing to quality. On the part of the holders of Green an
increased inclination is manifested to realise, and in
consequence of the large parcels pressed for sale, prices
suffered a further depression, and exhibit a reduction
on this day week of id to id for Twankay, Id to 2d for
Hyson, ld to 2d for Young Hyson, and 2d for Imperial
and Ganpowder. Pekoe Tees have been dealt in with
caution, and, having a plentiful supply, there are sellers
Id under previous quotations. The quantity offered at
auction this week amounted to 14,560 packages, of which
only 4,600 were sold.
RICE.—To-day there was no public sale of East India,
but privately the purchases made were trifling, although
holders were willing to take rather lower rates. Fur
auction 1,000 bags of Bengal, and 9,000 bags Arracan
are declared.

SPICES.—In consequence of the large increase in the
supply of brown Nutmegs at market this week, prices
have suffered a depression of id to 2d per lb. The
whole, however, offered at public sale, amounting to 143
casks, 21 bags, and 4 boxes of Penang, found buyers. The
market for all sorts of Black Pepper is quiet, and the
limited busiaess concluded privately was at a fall on
former rates of id to id. At auction 703 bags however
all found buyers. White is wanted, but prices have
ceased to advance. At public sale 83 bags were how-
ever sold at the former value, and went at 4d to 4 ai for
middling. The market for Cloves is quiet.

consisting of 125 butts, 86 crtls, 23 brls old Patras, 60

silvers, and good to fine black 6s 6d to 6s 10d; 6 bags
of Mexican silvers 4s sd, which are rather higher rates.

SPIRITS.—Jamica Rum has met with more attention
this week, and a good business was concluded in all de-
scriptions; the rates paid were fully equal to those that
existed previously, and the chief buyers were the home
trade; the total sales are 400 puns. Leeward Island
is litle requred, and can be obtained upon easier
terms, the sales are only 102 puns. East In-
dia is dull of sale and rather cheaper. Mauritius
is little required. For strong Demerara there is, how-
ever, a fair demand, but holders show a desire to sell at
last week's rates. The quantity sold is 100 puns, fair
quality 30 to 35 over fair quality 2s 9d to 2s 10d, and
34 to 36 over good and fine 3s to 3s 2d. Brandy cannot
again be quoted cheaper, the demand, however, does not
improve, and supplies are large.

sisting of 90 tuns, went at reduced rates, and only in
part sold at 811. to 82155, low 80/ to 801. 5s ; Southern
