MARKET NEWS-(YESTERDAY.)
CORN EXCHANGE.
Fair average supplies of English Wheat have been re-
ceived up to our market this week ; yet the number of sam-
ples of that article on offer to-day was small. The attend-
ance
of buyers was scanty, yet the demand ruled kctive,
at fully, but at nothing quotable beyond, Monday's enhanced
currencies. With Foreign Wheat we were fairly supplied.
All kinds were in good request, and quite as dear. A few
thousand quarters of bonded Wheat were sold for
export. Fine Barley supported late rates ; but the
middling and inferior kinds commanded very little attention.
In Malt a fair average amount of business was transacted, at
full prices. The show of Oats was again small, while the sale
was firm, at the extreme value quoted on Monday. All other
kinds of Grain, as well as Flour, were quite as dear.

(From the London New Price Current of September 29.)
SUGAR.—To-day the quantity of home-trade Sugar brought
to public sale was exClisive, and prices were not so firm. In
West India a good business was transacted in bright yellow
qualities, but merchants were in some cases compelled to
lower their prices 6d per cwt; the rates taken exhibit a fall
on those of Friday of 6d to is per cwt, and holders of such were
evidently inclined to realise, owing to the increasing supplies.
REFINED.—To-day Refined Sugar met with less attention
from the home trade, but owing to the small supply brown
lumps could not be obtained under 635, and standard lumps
655. per cwt. In Bonded Crushed Sugar a good business
was transacted but at prices varying from 33s to 33s 6d for
first quality.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar met with
less attention, and 2,123 bags at auction were sold at rather
lower prices.

EtsT INDiA.—This afternoon the public sales of Bengal
Sugar consisted of 3,647 bags, the superior grainy sorts went
at stiff rates, but white and other kinds went 6d per cwt
lower.

FOREIGN.—Tbis afternoon two parcels of Manilla Sugar,
amounting to 10,783 bags, were offered at auction, and nearly
all sold, but at a fall in the value of 6d per cwt. 702 chests
of Havannah sold at full rates. 50 cases of Bahia were taken
in at 43s for ordinary brown.
COFFEE.—This afternoon several purchases were made
privately in native Ceylon, and it was difficult to buy good
ordinary under 40s per cwt. Plantation is little wanted,
340 bags were offered at auction and nearly all taken in at
55s 6d foi fine ordinary coloury, being barely the former
value, the 33 bags pea berry however sold at 65s 6d per
cwt. The coloury kinds of Foreign are still wanted, but
common sorts are dull of sale.
TEA.—Holders of Congou are reluctant to further reduce
their prices, and the trade have operated with more freedom,
• still they are not inclined to take more than their present
wants require: a fair business has been transacted, but
' holders have been compelled to accept 8d to Sid for
common, and 9d for good common, cash. There is a
fair quantity on offer, particularly of the better qua-
lities. Pouchong has been in good demand, and owing to
the falling off in the supply prices have slightly improved.
Souchong has been sold to a fair extent at previous mode-
rate rates. The market for Green has a dull appearance,
the quantity on offer is large of all qualities and prices are
lowering. At auction, Congou out of condition, of which
the chief part consisted, went at 8d to 9d. Imperial of good
wand quality, Hyson kind, only brought 2s ld, and good
brightish leaf Twankay is 2d per lb.
SPICES.—The demand has improved for Nutmegs, and an
advance in the value of ld to 2d per lb has taken place. In
Mace more business has been transacted, and at somewhat
better prices. Jamaica Ginger has not further improved in
value, but at previous rates a good business has been trans-
acted, and 320 packages at auction were all sold. East
India and African have been sold to a fair extent privately at
~,:ffer rates. Of preserved Ginger 191 pkgs, at auction, were
taken ;L: at 2s 6d to 3s per lb. Of Black Pepper, none has been
offered at auctio.. privately few purchases have been made
by e4iorters or the trade, low as prices are. The stock
is much tilt same as what it Zas last year, but the deliveries
Ice. are still less, etFreelally for exi:firtation, and prices are
lower; although white can be obtabal at 31/2d to 5%d
for low to fine quality, still few buyers. a;',9 to be met
with, but the quantity offering is tot so la,,e as it
was. Pimento has fully sustained the previcrus value, and
several parcels have been sold privately. Cloves have met
IA with little attention, but holders are reluctant. For Cassia
Lignea the Market has a firm appearance. Cinnamon is
wanted, and the parcels sold were at quotations, 2d to 4d
above those of the last quarterly sales; for inferior, coarse,
and jungle kinds, prices are improving. The supply of all
sorts is less than it was.
Woon.—The public sales of Colonial hire at length ter-
minated, The attendance has been numerous, and the de-
Imand animated for all descriptions. Although the quantity
offered was prodigious, still nearly the whole sold, the mann-
' facturers having come to the determination to get well
stocked, in consequence of the moderate rates that existed,
and the enormous quantity of Wool there is being consumed.
Prices improved towards the conclusion of the sales, and
closed at an Rdvance on those of the last unctions of ld

per lb.
`et' SPIRITS.—To-day Leeward Island Rum met with little
_ attention, although there are sellers at 2s 2d proof strength.
For Jamaica the market has a dull appearance, and the
i
[ tendency of prices is still downwards. East India s little
wanted, and 1l casks at auction were taken in at 2s Bbd to
t2s 4d per gallon for Madras. The stock of Rum differs little
N from that of last year.
q,,,, lisnico.—Holders of East India are firm, and insist upon
:/i an advance on the rates of the last quarterly sales of 3(1 to
1 '/: 4d per lb, although the quantity declared for the 6th of
6'. October is large, amounting to 21,268 chests. There has,
14a. however, been only a limited business transacted by ex-
,s, porters and the home trade since this day week. For Spanish
6$ the market has a firm appearance,
se COCHINEAL,.—To-day the market was well supplied ; the
I% quantity offered at public sale amounting to 286 bags ;
!i4 nearly the whole sold.
2 Otis.—For Seal Oil there has been a brisk demand, and
IA the tendency of prices is upwards, pale bringing 291. to
291 10s, yellow 261 to 2712 and brown al to 25110 s ; indeed
some parties will not sell upon these terms, and the quan-
tity on offer is .yet small. At auction 38 tuns were
sold, tinged pale, at 281. to 281 10s, and yellow at 271 per
tun. The home trade continue to be the principal operators.
Low qualities wanted for exportation, but of such few parcels
are to be had. Cod has met with a dull sale, and the quantity
on offer is larger than it was. No further advance has taken
place in the value of Southern, but privately a good business
has been transacted, and full rates are given. Sperm has not
improved in value, but the demand privately has been brisker.
There are many purchasers of Coaco Nut Oil, but little
is to be had. Palm has been in excellent request, and
prices are firm. In Rape Seed Oil there has been more busi-
ness transacted at better prices. Olive has been in excel-
lent demand; merchants have confidence, as the stock is en
the decrease, and the consumption going on largely. Lin-
seed Oil has been extensively dealt in on the spot by the
home trade; several parcels have been taken for exportation,
and prices advanced to 25s 3d to 25s 6d per cwt, although
the crushers are working freely. For American Lard Oil a
fair demand has prevailed at 351 to 401 per tun.
TALLow.—In Russian on the spot an extensive business
has been transacted, and further advanced rates are given,
line new Petersburgh Yellow Candle bringing 43s 9d
to 445, and old 43s 6d, at which merchants are
firm, as arrivals are under those of last season. For
forward delivery a good business has been transacted, 44s
paid for the last three months of the year for new, and 44s
to 44s 3d for spring delivery. For home made the demand
las been active at 42s 6d nett cash.
