Cocos.—This afternoon little desire was shown to
operate in Trinidad at a public sale of 400 bags, and
nearly the whole was taken in, good bold grey 44s to 45,,
good dark red 45s to 465; 127 Grenada were sold,
middling red 40s, good 42s 6d to 445. For auction 300
bags of Trinidad are declared.
TEL—Previous rates are well supported for all de-
scriptions of Congou, a good demand prevails, fair and
good sound common for cash realizes 7d to 7id per
lb. In Souchong the operations are upon a more
enlarged scale at 8d to Is 6d, and fine Is 8d to 2s.
An increased disposition has been manifested to operate
in all kinds of Green, largo parcels have been sold
and at advance on last weeks rates of Old to Id per lb
for Gunpowder and Ilyson. Other kinds fully sustained
the previous value. For Scented and Pekoe Teas there
is an increased demand, and purchases cannot generally
be made upon former terms. At public sale of
1,400 packages offered, about half found buyers;
Congou, bat middling rather old blackish leaf
realised Bd, good middling Is; Gunpowder, middling
rather strong 2s 9d to 3s 1, good and fine strong and
fresh burnt 3s 9d to 33 10d; scented Caper, middling
rather coarse, is to is 0i; Young Hyson, middling ra-
ther strong Is 6d, good middling 2s per lb. There are
further arrivals, and the stock exceeds that of the past
year by 4,080,000 pounds.
Rim—Although East India can be obtained at a fur-
ther redaction of 6d per cwt, yet there is no improve-
ment in the home or export demand. Of 5.172 bags
Bengal offered at auction, a part only sold. By private
treaty only a small amount of business has been con-
cluded. For Carolina town dressed there is only a li-
mited sale at 21s to 255. Patna is little wanted, and
can be obtained at 12s to 16s per cwt.
SPICES.—To-day Jamaica Ginger met with attention,
and 70 pkgs at auction sold at stiffer rates—middling
72s to 81s, and good ordinary 58s to 655: 81 chts Mala-
bar, home trade sort went at 40s to 40s 6d for brown
rather small ; 130 bags white Pepper taken in at 6d for
good, and at 42d fur middling.
SAGO is offered at a further reduction, still the deal-
ings have been limited by private treaty. Sago Flour
is little wanted, and 14s to 155 is the value. Tapioca
is dull of sale. Of Arrow Root the supply is yet ex-
ceeding the demand.
FRUIT.—In Currants a large amount of business has
been concluded this week—New Patras 40s to 418, Zante
and Cephalonia 38s 6d to 375, and old 34s to 35s per cwt.
Raisins are in small supply, and are much in demand—
new Deals 325, Lexie 225, Yalentia 40s to 475, red
Smyrna 38s to 42s per cwt,
SPIRITS.—The purchases made in East India Rum
have been limited, but holders are firm, and insist upon
Is 7d to is 8d per gallon proof with certificate. Leeward
Island is not much required, but Is Sid to is 90 are the
rates asked. Jamaica is held for full quotations, the
amount of business concluded has been limited this week
for home trade purposes, and there are few export
orders. Plain and middling quality 39 to 36
per cent over proof we quote at 3s 8d to 3s 10d,
good 4s to 4s 2d. and fine 4s 3d to 4s 6d,
and high flavored 4s 4d to 4s 9d per gallon.
Demerara is nut much in demand, and 2s 8d
to 3s 2d are the rates accented for 28 to 48
per cent. over proof. Of Havannah only small
parcels have been sold at is sdi to is 6d proof. Geneva
has been dealt in with caution at is 9d to is 10d for
ordinary, and fine at 2s 8d to 3s 3d. The market for
Brandy is inactive, and prices are on the decline.
Cognac, best brands of the vintage of 1846 can be
obtained at 4s 9d to 4s 11d, and ditto 1847 at 3s 8d to
3s 10d per gallon.
lennao.—Although East India can be obtained rather
under the rates of the quarterly sale, that terminated on
Friday last, yet few export orders have been com-
pleted, and the home trade operated with caution in all
sorts. On the part of holders there appears to
by a desire to realise, on account of the disarranged
state of trade on the continent. Spanish has been ope-
rated in with muck caution, and can be obtained upon
lower terms. There is a fair supply at market.
SALTPETRE.—To-day there was little desire evinced
to do business in Rough privately; prices still tend
downwards, and rule at 303 to 33s per cwt for low to fine.
OlLS.—Although holders of Cocoa Nut,Oil are sellers
upon further reduced terms, still the purchases made
have been limited at 40s to 46s per cwt for low to fine
quality. The dealings in Palm have been small and
easier rates are taken, middling to fine quality selling
at 30s to 335, and there is an increasing stock. Olive is
offered upon further reduced terms, yet home buyers
operate with caution, and the export demand is unusually
small. Arrivals are likewise upon a more enlarged scale.
Rapeseed Oil is wanted, and as there is only a limited sup-
ply, with an increasing consumption, prices rule firm. Lin-
seed Oil met with less attention for home trade purposes
this week, few export orders were completed. Although
there is only a moderate supply, yet prices suffered a
depression. For forward delivery the contracts con
eluded are of little moment : 23s to 23s 3d are the rate
taken. Of Fish Oils the stock contiues to accumulat e
and prices are further depressed by reason of the limited
demand. Seal has been operated in with reluctance
for all purposes, although pale can be obtained at
251 to 251 10s, tinged 241 5s to 241 lOs, straw 231 lOs to
241, yellow and brown 221 to 231 per tun. The opera-
tions iu Cod have been trifling. Southern is little wanted.
For Sperm the market is quiet; good to fine quality
can be purchased at 80! to 821 per tun.
Tseeow.—This afternoon P.Y. Candle of fine quality
met with a dull sale at 45s 6d on the spot. At auction
