ZifitIVGATE AND IZIADZATLIA.I4I

RlCE.—About 2,400 bags and 2,500 pockets Bengal sold at
9s 6d to 12s 6d per cwt; and 1,750 bags Madras at lOs 6d
to Ils 6d for sound.

SALTPETRE.-800 bags Calcutta were taken in at 25s to
25s 6d for 91bs to 7141bs refraction.
TEA.—The deliveries are good, but there is not a very
active market.
TALLow.—P.Y.C. is 423 6d per cwt. on the spot, and Town
433 6d per cwt. The market has been comparatively quiet
as regards new Tallow, the Russians being desirous of obtain-
ing the whole benefit of the reduced duty, which our mer•
chants and manufacturers are not inclined to allow.
TOBACCO.—The sales during last month were extremely
limited, not having exceeded in purchase 500 hhds., and the
market has scarcely presented any feature deserving com-
ment. Under circumstances, the trade purchase very spar-
ingly at this period of the year, but business generally has
been more limited than usual. The market closed at the end
of the month without any alteration in prices. In Virginia,
sales have not exceeded •80 hhds. In Kentucky, leaf and
strips, leaf, 3d. to 33/4d. Maryland, a few limited sales have i
been at 51,4(1. to 9d. Havannah Segars have been in fair de- '
mand, and sales of good quality, eligible in size for home
trade, have been made to some extent.

(From the London New Priee Current of June 5.)
&loam—To-day there was a good business transacted in
West India Sugar for the use of grocers and refiners, but the
rites taken were rather under those that previously existed,
making the decline for the week 6d. to is.
REFINED.--To-day Refined goods were purchased with
eagerness by the home trade, and higher rates were paid,
brown lumps selling at 67s to 68s, and standard lumps at
68s 6d to 69s per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is wanted.
and it is difficult to purchase first quality under 32s 6d
per cwt.
Mitunrrius.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar was pur-
chased with more freedom, and 7,671 bags at public sale were
all sold at full rates, but not above.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon at public sale 550 bags of
Bengal Sugar sold with more spirit, and steady rates; fine
white bringing 54s to 565, damp 53s to 555, and washed
54s 6d.
FOREIGN.—For yellow Havannah there has been a good
inquiry this week, but holders requiring rather higher rates,
business of moment has been prevented; brown is wanted,
and there are not sellers upon former terms; white is ❑ot
offered at any further decline in prices, but there are few
orders in the market at present.
COFFEE.—This afternoon there was no improvement in the
demand for Mocha Coffee, and 42 bales at auction sold at
barely former rates. Native Ceylon was only in limited de-
mand, but Plantation was in fair request.
COCAVL—There has been less inquiry after West India this
week, and a public sale of 450 bags of Grenada went off
heavily at rather lower rates.
TEA.—Of Congou of various descriptions many parcels
have been disposed of, but holders are compelled to accept
easier rates. In Pouchong a fair business has been transacted,
but not at better prices. In Twankay there has been little
business transacted, but prices keep up. Ilyson is less in re-
quest, and quotations are not so firm. In Imperial and Gun-
powder we have little variation to notice, but the demand
has been less active.

RICE.—To-day Bengal Rice was purchased with increased
freedom, and at public sale 1509 bags went with spirit, and
at an advance on former rates of 6d per cwt.
SPlRlTS.—Leeward Island Rum is wanted, but holders ask-
ing further advanced rates, business of moment hilt been
prevented, and only smsll parcels have been disposed of. In
Calcutta a fair business has been transacted, and prices are
rising. Jamaica has been less in request, but holders are un-
willing to reduce their prices. Demerara has been in steady
demand, and former rates are well sustained. A further in-
crease has taken place in the stock of Brandy; and there are
sellers upon further reduced terms ; still the home and export
demand has been very limited. The market for Geneva is
firm, and the home trade have taken several parcels, paying
2s 6d to 3s for good and fine. Prices do not give way for
Corn Spirits, British selling at lOs 6d; Irish and Scotch,
lOs 4d to lOs sd.

TURPENTINE.—Although there are sellers at the reduced
rates of 39s to 4Us per cwt for spirits, still little business ha,
been transacted, and the market is well supplied; that prices
will further give way is the general impression.

ACCIDENT TO THE: BER--,.
WICK AND EDINBURGH MAIL.
—On Tuesday afternoon, shortly after the mail had I'-ft
Berwick for Edinburgh, an accident occur ed which was
nearly attended with serious consequences. The mail had
reached the north side of Lamberton, nearly five miles
from Berwick, when, at a turn in the road, one of the wheels
came in contact with a cart, filled with railway men, which
was endeavouring to get to one side of the road, in order to
make room, but was too late. The mail was heavily laden,
and stopped suddenly, by which the guard was thrown from
his seat to the ground, and had, we believe, his wrist dislo-
cated. The horses were startled, and broke away from the
coach, carrying the pole and splinter bar along with them,
and dragging the driver, named George Moires, off the box,
who fell violently on the ground on his back. Fortunately
the pmesigero Bust pled ne lAjuin—liertgid Wards',

We had a ve:y inactive demand.
BOROUGH HOP MARILMT.
The accounts from the plantations not being to say fa,
vourable, an increase in fly being apparent in most districts,
the demand here is steady at full prices. The duty is called

Kent pockets 51. ss. to 81.155. ; ditto Sussex pockets, 51. ss.
to 71. ss.
