quality can be obtained
at 22s to 255. Belgian is dulls
of sale, at 22s to 245. In Loaves made here under
bond there has been little passing, and prices are on the
decline.
MAURITIUS.—There has been more activity in the
market, and in some cases stiffer rates were obtained;
the supply has also fallen off. By private treaty several
parcels have been sold, and at auction 1,072 bags went
readily.
EAST INDIA.--For Madras Sugar the demand is more
active, and former rates are well sustained. At public
sale 6,400 bags were all sold. By private treaty several
parcels have found buyers. For Penang there is a more
active demand, and holders generally will not sell upon
former terms, there is also a less quantity on offer. On
the part of holders of Bengal there is firmness, and none
has been submitted to public sale since Tuesday last.

there is in consequence little variation to make known.
717 chest of yellow Havannah were disposed of.
MOLASSES.— Former rates are insisted upon for all
done since our last report. East India Treacle is dull of
sale, but not cheaper; there is a fair supply.
value of West India, as supplies are plentiful, but a good
demand prevails, and previous rates are supported.
The better kinds continue the most in request. At
public sale two hundred packages of Jamaica were
disposed of. For East India suited for home
consumption, prices are prevented from improving by
reason of large supplies and the limited demand,
Although Native Ceylon can be obtained upon rather
lower terms, still buyers operated with caution
by private treaty, and 200 bags at auction were
only in part sold—ordinary 28s to 295, good ordinary
29s 6d to 30s, fine ordinary 36s 6d to 31s, and damaged
20s to 27s ,6d. Plantation of fine quality is wanted, and
as the supply is small, stiff rates are obtained. Of in-
ferior sorts there is yet a large quantity on offer, and
rather lower rates are accepted, still the home dealers
have made purchases with centime. Of 2,000 bags
brought to public sale, a part only sold.
Cocok—There are again extensive arrivals, and
prices keep on the decline, as the market is in a dull
state. For Foreign there are few buyers, and the ten-
dency of quotations is to decline.
TEA.—Holders of Black are not disposed to make
any further concession in the value, and have offered a
less quantity for sale. The superior sorts of Congou
have been in good request at is 6d to is Bd, which are

full rates, biit inferior met with little attention, and
ordinary to good ordinary can be obtained at
6d to 74d. Of Green there is a plentiful supply,
and sellers are willing to accept rather lower rates, yet
buyers operate with reluctance. The value of Hyson of
common quality is lid to is Id. Twankay ditto 54d to
6d, Gunpowder Canton 10d to Is 4d, and Imperial 9d to
is 3d. For scented Teas prices are on the decline, sup-
plies are large, and the demand limited. The public sales
of Tea declared to take place on Thursday are at pre-
sent 5,000 pkgs.
RICE.—To-day afair amount of business was concluded
privately in East India Rice, and prices were firmer;
Cargo Bengal 7s 6d to Bs, and low to fine white Bengal
8s 6d to lls 6d per cwt.
SPlCES.—Pimento is wanted, and former rates are

well supported. Black Pepper cannot be purchased
at any reduction; the home and export demand
continues to be small for all sorts. At auction

560 bags Batavia were taken in at 2jd. White
is not much in demand, and as supplies are
more plentiful, a reduction in the value of Id is ap-
parent. Of 226 bags offered at auction a part only sold
at 4id to 4id for middling quality. Jamaica Ginger is
yet wanted for home trade purposes, but holders asking
stiffer rates operated against business by private
treaty. Of 65 casks offered at auction a part only
sold. For other sorts the market is quiet, but prices
are firm, as the supply is small. For Cassia Lignea
orders are extremely limited and prices continue little
better than nominal. Cinnamon is held with firmness;
buyers, however, make sales with caution. In Cloves
rather more business has been done. Mace is in fair re-
quest, and the supply continues to fall off. By private
treaty some parcels have been sold at is 10d to 3s 2d
for low to fine. Nutmegs are in brisker request, and on
the part of holders there is firmness.
SPIRITS.—Holders of Jamaica Rum are not disposed
to make any further concession in the value, but the
home demand has been limited, and few export orders
have been concluded. For Leeward Island the market
is in a dull state, and at is 7d to is 8d there
is a desire to sell proof strength. East India has
been dealt in with caution at is 5d to is 6d,
and common quality at is 4d to is 4id proof.
For Demerara the market is in an inactive state.
Havannah is dull of sale at Is 5d proof, and is
in great supply. There are further arrivals of Rum.
Brandy at present cannot be called cheaper, but the
market is in a dull state, and arrivals continue on the
increase; the tendency of prices is, however, downwards,
and deliveries continue to fall off. Geneva has been dealt
in with caution, and there is a desire to sell. British
made Spirits find a ready sale at 10s 3d nett cash,
and is only in limited supply.
INDIGO.—There is yet little desire evinced to operate
in East India for any ,purpose, and holders are sellers
rather under the rates of the last quarterly sale. For
public sale on the 11th of July, 4,611 chests are declared.
SALTPETRE.—TO-day a fair amount of business was
done in Rough privately, and better prices were paid.
British Refined cannot generally be obtained upon former
terms.

On.s.—Prices cannot be quoted higher for Southern
Oil, although the demand is more active, and 87 tuns
at auction were all disposed of. For Seal a good de-
mand has been experienced. To-day Linseed Oil met
with greater attention, and prices advanced to 22s 9d to
23s per cwt on the spot.
TALLow.—In the value of Russian on the spot there
is little variation to make known, but the demand con-
tinues limited for all purposes. Prices also tend
downwards and rule at 44s 6d to 45s per cwt for
fine P. Y. Candle. There are sellers for delivery
in the last three months of the year at 41s 6d; few
contracts have been entered into. Home made is in
plentiful supply, and can be purchased at 44s 6d to 47s
nett cash; buyers operated with caution. For other
sorts prices remain much the same as previously—there
is yet a large quantity on offer. At public sale 439 pkgs
of South American were disposed of. Rough Fat is
offered at 2s 6id per stone.
