nearly the whole are sold. The quality is superior to
last year. New Turkey pulled Figs are selling at 673 to
85s, and Sultana 753 to 86s per cwt.
INDIGO.— This afternoon a public sale of 91 serons
Guatarnala Indigo went at 2i 2d to 3s 4d.
SAGO is wanted, and this day 197 boxes at auction
sold at 23s for fine small white Year].
COCIIINEAL.—This afternoon there was a brisker
demand, and 63 bags at auction sold at firm rates. Hon-
duras silvers at 4s Id to 4s sd, blacks at 43 8d to 5s sd,
Mexican 4s to 4s 2d, and black 3s 8d to 3s 10d.

Cocos.—All kinds of West India are wanted, but as
a much larger quantity was pressed upon the attention
of buyers, prices remain the same as on this day week.
At auction 834 bags have been offered, and the chief
part sold. For Foreign the market continues in a dull
state.

SALTPETRE.--Today there was much inquiry after
Rough, but business was checked by the reluctance of
holders lo sell. The value of good and fine Calcutta is
26s 6d to 28s; low and middling, 25s to 265. None
was offered at suction. British refined sells freely at
29s to 29s 6d.

'SOILS.—There has been much inquiry after Southern
Oil, and an advance in the value is apparent, the quan-
tity on offer is not larger. Of Cod several parcels have
been disposed of at 24/. to 24s 59, holders desire to sell,
as the importation is likely to be larger this season. In
Seal a good business has been concluded, at firmer rates.
Sperm cannot be quoted higher, but there is a much bet-
ter demand, and the supply less plentiful. At auction
80 tuns Colonial were sold at 691 lOs to 701 for good and
fine quality is worth 70110 s to 711, whilst Ileadmatter
sells with more freedom at 71/ to 721. Linseed Oil
met with little attention for home trade purposes.
Rapeseed Oil finds a ready sale, pale at 365, and brown
355, at which the market is firm, and the consumption
continues to get larger. Olive is much wanted,
and prices continue on the advance, there is also a further
decrease in stock. Palm is held with firmness and many
parcels have been sold at 30s to 31s 6d per cwt for good
and fine, and at 28s to 30s for low to mid, but 71 casks
it auction were bought in at 31s to 31s 6d. Cocos Nut
is offered at a farther reduction; and buyers do business
with reluctance, there is also an enlarged supply. Lard
Oil has been dealt in with caution.

TALLOW.—Russian on the spot has again been largely
dealt in, and prices continue to advance, fine new P.Y.
Candle selling at 45s 9d to 465, and on the part of
holders there is also firmness. For forward delivery man;
contracts have been concluded at 45s 6d to 46s for the last
three months of the year, and for the early part of 1849
some sales are reported at 463 3d per cwt. Home made
sells freely at 45s 6d to 46s nett cash, but the supply
does not diminish. Other sorts of Tallow realised en-
eanced rates, and a large business has been done. At
auction 57 casks of old P. Y. Candle were sold at 445.3 d
to 455.
