India and African have been sold to a fair extent privately at
stiffer rates. Of preserved Ginger 191 pkgs, at auction, were
taken in at 2s 6d to 3s per lb. Of Black Pepper, none has been
offered at auction, and privately few purchases have been made
by exporters or the home trade, lowlas prices are. The stock
is much the same as what it was last year, but the deliveries
are still less, especially for exportation, end prices are
lower; although white can be obtained at 31/2d to 51Ad
for low to fine quality, still few buyers are to be met
with, but the quantity offering is not so large as it
was. Pimento has fully sustained the previous value, and
several parcels have been sold privately. Cloves have met
with little attention, but holders are reluctant. For Cassia
Lignea the market has a firm appearance. Cinnamon is
wanted, and the parcels sold were at quotations, 2d to 4d
above those of the last quarterly sales ; for inferior, coarse,
and jungle kinds, prices are improving. The supply of all
sorts is less than it was.
WooL.—The public sales of Colonial have at length ter-
minated. The attendance has been numerous, and the de-
mand animated for all descriptions. Although the quantity
offered was prodigious, still nearly the whole sold, the manu-
facturers having come to the determination to get well
stocked, in consequence of the moderate rates that existed,
and the enormous quantity of Wool there is being consumed.
Prices improved towards the conclusion of the sales, and
closed at an advance on those of the last auctioas of Id
per lb.
SPIRITS.—To-day Leeward Island Rum met with little
attention, although there are sellers at 2s 2d proof strength.
For Jamaica the market has a dull appearance, and the
tendency of prices is still downwards. East India is little
wanted, and 19 casks at auction were taken in at 2s aid to
2s 4d per gallon for Madras. The stock of Rum differs little
from that of last year.
INDlGO.—Holders of East India are firm, and insist upon
an advance on the rates of the last quarterly sales of 3d to
4d per lb, although the quantity declared for the 6th of
October is large, amounting to 21,268 chests. There has,
however, been only a limited business transacted by ex-
porters
and the home trade since this day week. For Spanish
the market has a firm appearance.
COCHINEAL.—To-day the market was well supplied; the
quantity offered at public sale amounting to 286 bags ;
nearly the whole sold.
Oms.—For Seal Oil there has been a brisk demand, and
the tendency of prices is upwards, pale bringing 29/. to
291 10s, yellow 261 to 271, and brown 251 to 251 lOs ; indeed
some parties will not sell upon these terms, and the quan-
tity on offer is yet small. At auction 38 tuns were
sold, tinged pale, at 281. to 281 10s, and yellow at 271 per
tun. The home trade continue to be the principal operators.
Low qualities, wanted for exportation, but of such few parcels
are to be had. Cod has met with a dull sale, and the quantity
on:offer is larger than it was. No further advance has taken
place in the value of Southern, but privately a good business
has beon transacted, and full rates are given. Sperm has not
improved in value, but the demand privately has been brisker.
There are many purchasers of Coaco Nut Oil, but little
is to be had. Palm as been in excellent request, and
prices are firm. In Rape Seed Oil there has been more busi-
ness transacted at better prices. Olive has been in excel-
lent demand, merchants have confidence, as the stock is en
the decrease, and the consumption going on largely. Lin-
seed Oil has been extensively dealt in on the spot by the
home trade, several parcels have been taken for exportation,
and prices advanced to 25s 3d to 25s 6d per cwt, although
the crushers are working freely. For American Lard Oil a
fair demand has prevailed at 351 to 401 per tun.
TALLOW.—In Russian on the spot an extensive business
has been transacted, and further advanced rates are given,
fine new Petersburg Yellow Candle bringing 43s 9d
to 445, and old 43s 6d, at which merchants are
firm, as arrivals are under those of last season. For
forward delivery a good business has been transacted, 44s
paid for the last three months of the year for new, and 44s
to 44s 3d for spring delivery. For home made the demand
has been active at 42s 6d nett cash.
