SPIRITS.-In Leeward Island only a limited business
has been concluded; prices are also on the decline, and
rule at Is. 7d to ls 7iel for proof. Of East India only
small pareels,have been sold at is 4d to is 53 proof with
certificate. In demerara the sales made have been trifling
at- from 2s 6d to 3s for 28 to 38 per cent, over
proof. Of Jamaica only a limited quantity has been
taken for home trade purposes. whilst the export orders
concluded have been trivial. For Brandy the market is
yet in an inactive state, and there are sellers of Cognac
best brands of the vintage of 1846 at 4s 5d to 4: Bd, 1847
ditto 3s 73 to 3s 9d. Geneva is wanted by exporters at
Is 93 to is 10d, and fine fit for duty is Felling at 2s 9d to
3s. Corn Spirit is not altered in culue at present.
SALTPETRE.-To-day there was no improvement in
the demand for rough, and 1,623 bags of Calcutta at
'suction were all taken in at 26: for good strong grey 41
to 44 per cent., and middling 8i per cent. 24s 6d per
cwt. being the full value.
COCIIINEAL.-Prices continue to recede by reason of
large supplies and limited demand. Of 200 bgs Mexi-
can offered at public sale, a small part only sold at 3s 6d
to 3: 8d for silvers, and at 3s 6d to 4s ld for blacks,
'shish rates are Id lower for the former, and 2d for the
latter.
SPICES.-To-day at public sale 207 bags Pimento sold
at stiff rates-good went at 3-id, mid and good mid 3id
to 34d, low 34d to 3?-)d.
INDIGO.-To- day during the progress of the sale 463
cheats were withdrawn. 816 chests have passed. The
demand continues to be good for consuming qualities
and ordinary middling shipping sorts at about the
last sale's prices; good and fine, however, being
comparatively neglected, are chiefly withdrawn or bought
in at 3d to 4d discount. Kurpahs continue to be in fair
demand at about 2d advance, and Madras is chiefly
bought in at Id to 2d advance. Of the quantity which
has now passed the hammer, 5,394 chts, 1,331 have been
withdrawn, and 1,089 bought in, leaving 2,074 sold.
Taenow.-Russian on the spot is offered upon re-
duced terms, still the dealings have been limited by soap
makers as well as chandlers, whilst the rates accepted
are 43s 9d to 44: for fine F.Y. candle,and at which hol-
ders are inclined to sell. Only a moderate amount
of business has been concluded for delivery in tne last
three months of the year at 42s 9d to 435. Home made
is offered upon reduced terms, yet, on the part of the
trade, little desire has been manifested to operate, whilst
the supply is plentiful ; the value is 43: 6d to
44s 6d nett cash. Other kinds are dull of sale, whilst
there is no decrease in the supply. An impression
exists that prices will further recede, as large arrivals
may be expected this season. The stock is much the
same as last year, but prices are from 4: to 53 per eve:
lower. Rough Fat is readily offered at 2s. 6d. per stone.
OILS.-Cocoa Nut is little wanted, and the stock is
much larger than it was a few weeks back, whilst buyers
still operate with caution by private treaty. At public
sale 50 tons fine Cochin were taken in at 453, and
101 hogsheads Ceylon at 433 per cwt, being above the
value. - Of Fish Oils arrivals are upon an enlarged scale,
and in consequence of a falling off in the demand, sellers
are willing to accept reduced rates for all descriptions.
None, however, has been submitted to public sale this
week. Pale Seal can be obtained at 241., yet the
purchases made have been immaterial. For other
sorts the market has -a dull aspect. Southern is not
much required, and prices are on the decline.
Holders of Cod are willing to make a further concession
in the value, yet the amount of business concluded has
been small at 24l to 24/10s. Sperm met with little atten-
tion, and there are sellers of good and fine quality at 741 to
78/. The supply yet exceeds the wants of the trade, and
prices tend downwards. Lard Oil has been dealt in with
caution, at 42s to 465, whilst Ground Nut Oil is dull of
lale, at 37: to 37s 6el per cwt.
