risen Is per cwt, Antigua selling at 20s, and Demerara
18s per cwt. At these rates holders are firm, and the
market is less freely supplied. In East India the sales
are upon a more extended scale.
Cocoa.—Prices remain firm, as the stock is small, and
nearly all in the hands of one party. The purchases
made by private treaty are limited at from 47s to 50s
per cwt. None has been offered at public sale. The
purchases made in Foreign are trifling; holders will not
accept lower rates.
COFFEE.—This afternoon the operations in Native
Ceylon were upon a more extended scale, and 1,322 bags
at auction sold at rather higher rates; real good ordinary
fetched 30s 6d to 31s 6:1, goof! ordinary 30s, and damaged
25s to 29s 6d; 10 casks 194 bags Plantation went rather
higher, fine realised 73s to 86s, good 65s to 70s, low
middling 43s to 44s 6d, fine ordinary mixed 32s to 335;
112 casks Jamaica were only in part sold at steady rates.
TEA.—A further improvement is apparent in the
position of the market for all descriptions, and holders
appear to be sanguine in their expectations as to the
future. In Congou large purchases have been made
in qualities ; the rates paid are rather above those
of this day week—good common realises 7d to lid per
lb. In Green a good business has been concluded, and
at full rates for low and middling, good and fine on the
contrary advanced id per lb. Pekoe Tea has not im-
proved in value, the dealings are, however, upon a more
extended scale.
RICE.—To-day Rice met with little attention, and of
4,382 bags, 980 packets at public sale, a small part
only sold at rather lower rates—Manilla, middling white
at 8s to 9s, damaged 4s to 7s 6d, mixed sound cargo
6s 6d to 7s, and damaged 3s 6d to 6s 6d per cwt.
SPICES.—To-day at public sale 111 bags of Pimento
sold at 3d to 3id for good mid and good, which are full
rates. 13 pkgs Nutmegs realised 2s 8d to 2s 10d for
good brown, and middling 2s 4d to 2s sd. 6 cases Mace,
middling 2s to 2s 3d. 103 bags clean Sumatra
Pepper 2-id.
Saiao.—This afternoon at public sale 429 cases of Pearl
sold 2s to 3s cheaper, and went at 18s to 193 6d per cwt
for good and fine quality.
SPIRITS.—A much better demand has been experi-
enced for all descriptions of Jamaica Rum this week,
and full rates are obtained; indeed the finer sorts realised
rather more money. The sales for the week amount to
350 puns, plain quality 28 to 31 per cent over proof real-
ized 3s 8d to 3s 9d, good 32 to 34 over 33 9d to 3s 10d, fine
33 to 35 over 4s 2d to 4s 4d, 33 to .36 over very fine
high flavoured 4s 6d to 4s Rd per gallon. On the part of
holders there is decidedly more firmness. For Leeward
Island the state of the market is more satisfactory; the
sales made are upon a more extended scale, and stiffer rates
are obtained. 150 puns have been sold at Is 9d for proof,
and strong brown ditto is 10d, at which the market is
firm. East India is more in demand, and stiffer prices are
obtained. Demerara is in fair request. Havannah is
not much wanted,
and can be obtained at Is Sid to
Is 6d for proof. For Brandy prices remain much the
same as previously; the sales made are however, limited,
and for all
purposes, whilst the stock' is yet on the in-
crease. Geneva is little required, and ordinary for ex-
port is only worth is
9d to is 10d. For British Corn
Spirits the market is very firm.
