ther cheaper. Bengal met with little attention, and
3,109 bags barely realised former terms.
FOREIGN.—The inactivity of the market for all de-
scriptions of Foreign Sugar has further increased this
week, and on the part of importers there appears a desire
to: realise. For exportation scarcely any orders have
been completed; few sales are made by home buyers,
and our refiners working under bond are little in want
of Sugar.

MoLAssEs.—On the part of West India there is much
firmness; but only a limited demand has been expe-
rienced during this week, Previous rates are well sup-
ported for all sorts, and arrivals continue to fall off,
whilst deliveries are on the increase.

CocoA.--West India is not offered at any further de.
cline, but the trade operate with caution, and there is a
plentiful supply, whilst further arrivals are expected.
At public sale 250 bags Trinidad were all taken in at
the full value. For all kinds of Foreign the market is
dull.

COFFEE.—This afternoon the operations in Mocha
were not upon an enlarged scale, and 110 bales, 861
bales at auction went at a further decline of is to 2s; mid•
clang greenish clean sold at 45s to 465, pea bery 53s to 71s,
sea damaged 42s to 60S, and triage 28s to 32s 6d. 01

to 4s; good ordinary rather colory went at 26s 6d to 275,

TEA. A favourabl9 opinion is still entertained
towards all kinds of Congou; sales to a fair extent have
been made this week, and at rather better prices.
Of inferior sorts supplies are less plentiful, and of fine
blackish lee' the stuck is small ; good ordinary
clean went at 8d to Bid, better sorts 9d to
Is 3d,. good ,sad Ana blackish leaf and—Pekoe—kinds'
Is 4d to 2s 2d. For Green the market has a dull ap-
pearance, few parcels having been sold by private treaty,
and for most sorts holders are willing to accept rather
lower rates; there is also a greater supply. Of 3,174
packages offered at auction, 1,000 sold; ordinary Canton
Twankay went upon the low terms of 24d to 3kd per lb.
RICE.—To. day the market had a quiet appearance for
all sorts. At public sale 1,294 bags and 61 pkts Benial
went rather cheaper, and a part only sold; 1,707 bags
Penang sold 6d lower.

400 bags East India Ginger sold at steady rates. Mace
is in better supply, and 18 cases went 2d cheaper. 01

went at a decline of Id to 2d. 10 cases Penang Cloves
Is 4d to Is sd. 133 bags Sumatra Pepper Zed per lb.
SPIRITS.—The market for Leeward Island Rum has
presented an inactive appearance all the week, and
holders are inclined to make a concession in the value.
Proof can be obtained at Is 8d to is 9d per gallon. East
India is held for is 5d to is 6d, few buyers are, how-
ever, to be met with. For Jamaica the demand is limited
for exportation; all sorts have been dealt in with caution by
exporters, whilst former rates cannot be obtained. De-
merara is offered upon lower terms, yet the sales made
have been small. Havannah is dull of sale at is 5d
proof.. With all sorts of Rum the market is plentifully
supplied, and export orders are unusually small for the
time of year. Brandy is not much in demand. For
Geneva there is a fair demand, and prices are firm. Corn
Spirit is not cheaper. The market is quiet.
Oils.—Prices have ruled firm for Linseed Oil this
week, there having been a brisk home demand, and
several parcels were taken by exporters. For forward de-
livery the sales made have been of little moment, there are
not sellers under 235. Rapeseed is not much wanted, and
a decline in the value is apparent. Cocoa Nut must
again be called cheaper, and the supply far exceeds the
demand. Of 300 casks Ceylon offered at public sale a
small part only sold at 42s for fine quality. Further
parcels of Palm have come to hand, and prices are de-
pressed from the limited demand. Lard Oil is only in
limited request. With Fish Oils the market has been
less plentifully supplied this week, and arrivals are of
little moment. Other sorts are still dull of sale.
