been sold, and again at lower prices. The public sales have
only offered 175 bags Madras, which sold at 42s to 43s for

foreign has rather increased, but owing chiefly to the want
of parcels offering, and the high prices asked by holders, the
only transactions which have transpired are confined to two
small cargoes of Porto Rico (in British vessels), which have
been sold on speculation, one afloat at 22s 6d, deliverable over
the ship's side, in London, the buyers paying the landing
charges, and the other on the spot at 235, to be taken at the
landing weights, which prices fully establish an advance.
