S N, MARCH 4, 1848.

reduction of 6d for yellow; brown, grey, and grainy
kinds realised the former value.

EAST INDIA.—This afternoon three parcels of Bengal
Sugar were offered at public sale, and amounted to 3,82$
bags, nearly the whole told, strong yellow sorts at full
rates, but white went 6d to is per cwt cheaper.
FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale of
Foreign ; and the operations privately for the week are
8,000 bags Manilla at 395, and 300 chests Bahia, brown
37s to 38s, and yellow at 40s to 40a 6(i.
MOLASSES.—The market remains quiet for West
India, and as there is a large stock, holders are willing
to take rather lower rates, and accept 15s to 19s for
ord to fine quality. Of Cuba 26 tierces at public
sale realised 16s per cwt. In East India Treacle there
has been little passing.
COFFEE.—This afternoon the market was more libe-
rally supplied with Mocha Coffee. The quantity offered
at public sale amounted to 911 bales, 80 half-bales.
There was little desire shown to operate, and the chief
portion was taken in 2s to 33 under former rates, fine
greenish clean long bean 755, outside packages slightly
stained 731, sea-damaged 60s. Of Ceylon 567 bags were
submitted to auction, the Native only in part sold at
barely former rates. Plantation all found buyers at full
rates.

SPICES.—To-day the demand was active for Cassia
Lignea, and 963 boxes at public sale all sold at very full
rates; 11 bales 2 pkgs of Ceylon Cinnamon of second
quality were all withdrawn; 11 chests Bencoolen Cloves
taken in at Is 3d to is 9d fur good, and at is 2d for low;
12 chests Penang Mace only in part sold.
COCHINEAL met with less attention this week, and
supplies being large of silvers, prices suffered a decline
of Id to 2d, but black reali sed full rates.
TEA.—Holders have shown more firmness this week,
and refrained from submitting any to public sale. Black is
held for previous rates, but the sales concluded are limited
in all sorts. Ordinary and good ordinary and sound
Congou 8d to 9d, middling 9id to Ild, good Is to
Is 2d, fine Is 3d to is sd, Pekoe flavor is 6d to Is 9d,
Pouchong clean 6d to 9d, Souchung, low and middling
9d to 1 Id, good to fine is to 2s. In Greens purchases
to a fair extent have been concluded, yet holders are
compelled to accept previous moderate rates, but the
quantity on offer is not so large as of late.
RlCE.—This afternoon there was little disposition
shown to operate in East India Rice. At public sale
1,364 bags Bengal were only in part sold at the former
value, good white 12s to 13s, and damaged 9s to 12s
per cwt.
SPIRITS.—There has been much inquiry after all
qualities of Jamaica Rum this week, but holders asking
a further advance of ld to 2d per gallon operated
materially against business. The sales in consequence
are confined to 100 puns ; fair quality 29 to 32 per cent
over proof at 3s 10d to 4s, middling and good 33 to 38
over 4s to 4s. 3d, and fine 4s 4d to 4s Bd. East India has
been in extensive request, and advanced to is Bid
proof with certificate, at which 1,000 hhds have been
sold. Leeward Island is much wanted, and higher rates
are offered, but in consequence of the reluctance of
holders to sell, the sales are confined to 200 puns at
Is 10d to is lld proof strength. Demerara is in much
better request, and must be quoted 2d higher. Brandy
is held for full rates, but the sales made are of little
moment this week. Geneva is not much wanted. For
British Corn Spirits the demand is active at lOs nett cash.
GILL.—The demand has decreased for all descriptions
of common Fish Oils this week, and although supplies
are not large, yet holders are more inclined to realise,
and submitted to reduced rates for all kinds. There
are sellers of Cod at 251 to 251 ss, still few purchasers
are to be met, and the supply is larger than of late.
The sales concluded in Seal have been of little moment.
Southern of all sorts has been dealt in with caution
by all parties, and prices are on the decline.
For Sperm we have to record a further rise in
the value, and a brisk demand has been experienced.
There is a reluctance on the part of crushers to further
reduce their prices for Linseed Oil, as supplies are not
large, and the consumption satisfactory. Rape Seed Oil
suffered a further depression as the supply is on the in-
crease, but the operations are upon a more extended
scale. The consumption is steadily on the increase, and
is likely so to continue. For Palm there are few buyers,
and prices :are receding. The demand for Olive Oil is
active.

T&LLow.—This afternoon prices were further de-
pressed for all sorts of Tallow. At public sale 595 pkgs
South American only in part sold, good 46s to 475, low
and middling 43s to 45s 6d. 477 casks N. S. Wales,
good and fine 48s to 49s 6d, low and middling 44s 9d to
47s 9d. 70 casks Belgian taken in at 49s to 50s.

The accounts from Belgium are highly favourable :as
regards the state of political feeling both in the Cham-
bers and among the public. The state of mercantile
affairs at Antwerp is very unfavourable, and the Mi-
nister of Finance had declared his indisposition to allow
a postponement of mercantile payments, because of the
unfavourable impression which would be thereby ex-
cited abroad.
There are advises from Sydney of November 9, when
the colony was progressing satisfactorily.
The political news by the Overland Mail is favourable,
but commercial affairs were very unsettled owing to the
failure of the Union Bank.
