20s 6d to 21s.

IticE.—To-day only a limited demand was experi-
enced for East India by private treaty, and 1,000 pckts
500 bags of Bengal at auction sold upon rather lower
rates—good middling and good white rather dusty at 9s
to 10s, and damaged 2s 6d to 93 6d ; 150 bags Farina

treaty; and 132 bags at auction sold id per lb. higher;

middling 3d, damaged 1:1d to lid. Black Pepper is in

for clean black hut 100 bars of white sold id cheaper
and went at 44d to 4ild for middling quality.
SPIRITS.—To-day there was little passing in Rum,
and prices still tend downwards. East India has been
sold at is 4d to is 53:d proof, and Leeward Island at
Is 7d per gallon. Further parcels have come to hand.
INDIGO.—On the part of holders of Spanish there is a
desire to sell, and the rates taken are 3d to 4d under
those previously current, yet buyers have operated with
caution. Of 57 serona Guatemala offered at auction a
part only sold. The market for all kinds of East India
is in a very unsatisfactory position; from exporters and
the home
,trade the demand is extremely limited, and
there are sellers rather under the rates of the last quar-
terly sales.

little inclination to do business in this article, and of

supply. The operations in Seal have been of little
moment, although pale can be obtained at 241 10s
to 251, straw and tinged 221 lOs to 231 10s, yellow and
brown 211 to 221. There are, however, several buyers
rather under those rates. The market for Sperm has
a quiet aspect, and prices are rather lower; there is
also a fair supply. At public sale 17 tuns were
sold. Of African Ground Nut Oil 16 tuns at auc-
tion were taken in at 37s 6d to 38s per cwt. For
Linseed Oil the market has a firmer appearance, and
for home consumption a good demand has been ex-
perienced whilst several export orders were concluded,
but the supply is plentiful. Rapeseed is not much in
request, and pale is to be obtained at 35s 6d to 365,
brown 34s 6d to 36s ; the supply is on the increase,
and there is only a limited consumption. For Palm the
market is inactive, prices are on the decline, and range
at 31s 6d to 32a 6dd for good and fine quality. Olive is
without variation; the sales made have been small. For
Cocoa Nut the demand continues to be extremely li-
mited, and sellers are ready to accept 30s to 35s for low
to fine quality. Lard Oil is little wanted, and can be
obtained at 45s to 475. On Friday 10 tuns Sperm, and
80 tuns Southern will be offered.

TALLow.—Russian ou the spotlis further depressed in
value, arising from the limited demand and eagerness
of merchants to sell. The value of fine P.Y. Candle is
44s 6d to 455. For delivery in the last three months of
the year few buyers are to be met with, although 43s
would be accepted. Home made is not much required,
and can be obtained at 45s nett cash, as the supply con-
tinues to increase. All other sorts are cheaper, and the
quantity brought to market has been large. At public
sale 292 pipes and 21 hhds of South American were
mostly sold. For auction 700 casks of Tallow are de-
clared.
