FOBEIGN.—To-day there was no public sale of Fo-
reign Sugar, but purchases to a fait extent were made
privately. chiefly by the home trade, and stiffer rates
paid. Of Cuba Muscovado 120 casks wore sold at 735;
200 chts of fellow kind at 41s, and a parcel of Java at
37s to 39s for brown and yellow.
MOLASSES.--1 he dullness in the market for West
India increased this week, all kinds having been
dealt in with much caution, and the is a plentiful
supply. The value of West India is 15s to 17s accord-
ing to quality. In Bengal Treacle there is still nothing
doing, and prices are nominal, whilst there is a fair
supply. Honey is offered upon rather lower terms.
COCOA.—There is firmness on the part of holders of
West India, and they supply the market sparingly,
whereas there is a good demand privately, and the rates
paid are fully equal to those previously current. At
public sale 65 bags went at 335 6d for grey.
COFFEE.—This afternoon there was not much demand
for Mocha Coffee, and 109 bales at auction sold is to 2s
under former rates, middling yellowish only fetching
49s 6d to 51s, and low mid 48s 6d. Of Plantation
Ceylon 393 bags 4 casks were sold at stiffer rates ; low
middling went at 47s to 48s, fine fine ordinary 43s to
46s 6d, fine ordinary 35s to 40s, good ordinary 35s to
36s 6d, ordinary 303 to 325, triage 25s to 28s. Native
Ceylon was sold to a fair extent privately; good ordinary
et 32s to 33s per cwt.
TEA.—The home trade entertain a favourable opinion
towards all descriptions, whereas on the part of mer-
chants there is confidence, and they refrain from over-
supplying the market, there is also an inclination on
the part of most of the dealers in town and
country to further increase their stocks. Prices
are yet low contrasted with those of late years, and
the consumption is proceeding as well as could be ex-
pected. The dealings in all kinds of Congou have been
to a large extent by private treaty, whilst the rates ob-
tained
are equal to those previously current. For good
common sound the prices obtained are 815-el to 9d. A
steady demand exists for Pouchong at from 6d to 8d for
low to fine clean quality. Of Souchong several parcels have
been taken, and the rates paid are 10d to is 2d for low to
middling, and ls. 3d. to 2s. for good and fine. Green
has been in excellent request, and the prices obtained
are fully equal to those previously current, Hyson of
common sound quality is with difficulty to be purchased
under la. 21, Twankay ditto 7d., Gunpowder Canton
15., and Imperial ditto 10d. per lb. For Pekoe Teas the
demand isincreasing, and the tendency of prices to advance.
cheaper than at this time in 1847, and the dealers are
yet scantily supplied. The public sale of Tea yesterday
went off well, and at full rates. Of the 7,200 packages
that passed, the large proportion of 6.000 found pur-
chasers, and which is a greater quantity than for some
time past. Green Tea met with the most attention.

Spiess.—To-day at public sale 500 pockets Bengal
Ginger were sold at reduced rates, and went at 19s 6d
to 20s for good bold rough, and at lOs to 16s for damaged.
Malabar Pepper met with attention, and 1,243
bags went at id per lb higher. Pimento sells
more freely, and 508 bags went at an advance of
id to id. Of Mace 4 cases Penang were taken in at
2s 8d for good middling, and at 2s 4d for low middling.
12 cases Bencoacn Cloves, fine is 9d to Is 103, good
Is 7d, ordinary Is 2d. 16 cases Nutmegs partly sold,
fine bold brown at 4s 63, good middling 2s 10, and mid-
dling 2s 7d to 2s 9d per lb.
RICE.—To day East India Rice met with little atten-
tion, and 2,664 bags 600 pockets of Bengal at auction
were nearly all taken in at 13s 6d- for fine white, but
rather dusty, and damaged Ils fid to 12s 6d; the part
sold ;went 6d cheaper, good dusty white at 12s, good
middling lls 6d to 12s, middling Ils, and damaged 2s 6d
to lOs 6% per cwt.
INDIGO.—The quarterly sale of East India will take
place on the Bth of February, and at present 6,945 chests
are declared, in consequence of which the purchases
made this week are of little moment by exporters or
home consumers. On the part of merchants there is,
however, firmness, and they insist upon an advance on
the rates of the last quarterly auction of 2d to 4d per lb.
Of line Bengal there is yet a scanty supply. Spanish is
held with firmness, and a fair demand exists.
SPlRlTS.—Jamaica Rum continues in good request for
home consumption, and exporters have purchased to a
fair extent this week. On the part of merchants there
is firmness, and they have obtained rather higher rates
for all sorts. Total sales 200 puns. Demerara is wanted
at stiffer rates, the sales amount to 150 puns : 35 to 38
per cent over proof of fair quality 3s to 3s Id, 36 to 40
over good 3s Id to 3s 2d. For East India there has been
a much better demand, and prices are rather higher;
300 puns having been sold at is 7d proof with certifi-
cate. Leeward Island is wanted, and the tendency of
prices is uwards, the sales are 150 puns at 1s 7d to Is 8d
proof strength. The market is less freely supplied with all
sorts of Rum, and the deliveries are going on satisfacto-
rily. Geneva sells more freely at 2s 7d to 2s 8d for
common export sorts, and at 3s to 3s 6d for fine fit for
duty. In the value of British made Spirits there is no
change this week, but the demand is more active.
Brandy has been in excellent request, and the deliveries
are large, whilst arrivals are small.
TALLOW.—This afternoon the public sales of Tallow
went off at advanced rates; 283 pkgs of South American
sold at 44s 6cl to 46s 9d, inferior 42s 6d to 43s 9d ; 72
casks of New South Wales 45s 9d to 46s 9d ; 150 casks
of Odessa, Sheep 45s to 475, Ox 45s 3d to 47s 3d ; 90
casks first sort stranded yellow Candle 45s 6d to 47s 6d.
OILS.—The demand for Linseed Oil has increased this
week, and a slight advance in the value is perceptible.
For home consumption large parcels have been taken,
whilst exporters were buyers to a fair extent, and 23s 9d
to 24s per cwt are the rates paid. For forward
delivery several contracts Abase :been entered into
at 24s 3d to 24s 6d. Rape Seed Oil slightly
declined in value, but the purcheses made are
upon a more extended scale, pale at 37s 6d to
38s, and brown 375. There is yet only a limited supply,
and the consumption is improving. On the part of holders
of Olive Oil there is a desire to realise, although the de-
liveries continue to exceed the arrivals. Palm does not
improve in value, but several parcels have been disposed of
The supply is, however, less plentiul, and the consump-
tion continues on fhe increase. Cocoa Eut is dull of sale,
and prices tend downwards. Of Fish Oils the arrivals
have been trifling since our last report, and previous
rates are not generally maintained. All other kinds
are plentiful.
