season; yet Para and Bahia met with a dull sale at 26s
to 275, but there is a good demand for Guayaquil at 325.
There is no improvement in the demand; and supply
exceeds that of last week. At auction 338 bags Trinidad

barely previous rates; grey went at 35s to 38s; ord and
mid red 38s to 415, good to fine 42s to 46s 6d. Pri-

sold, good clean 34d to 3id, very ord stalky and shelly 2.1 d
to 24d; 207 bgs 70 rbns damaged Malabar 3d to 3Rd. The

auction 81 as 52 bgs were sold, Tellicherry at 8d to llid.
and Singapore 6id to 7id. Pimento is in small supply,
and wanted at sil to 54d for ord to good. Cassia Lig-
nea is more in request, and being scarce, an advance
has been obtained, 108 s to 118 s per cwt having been paid
for low to fine. Cassia Buds realise 120 s to 1265,
and there is only a trifling quantity here. Ia Cinnamon
sales are trifling; Ceylon, first sort Is 10d to 3s 3d, se-
cond ditto is Id to 2s 2d, third and fourth sort 9d to
Is 10d. Cloves are in good request, and holders less
disposed to realise; the value of Amboyna is 7d to Bd,
Penang lid to is 2J, Bourbon and African 64d to 60.

for first sort at 2s 4d to 2s 6d, second ditto 2s id to
2s 3d, and inferior Is 10d to 2s. Although Ginger is
obtainable at previous low terms, yet all parties operated
with caution. At auction 123 chests Cochin were dis-
posed of at 25s 6d to 30a for mid, and 58 barrels Ja-
maica at 50s to 60s for mid. For better sorts the rates

maged 10d to is Bd. African Pod Pepper is dull of
sale at 34s to 445, but Cayenne is in fair demand at 9d
to is Bd. The value of Cassia Pera is 55s to 60s per
cwt, and there is a fair demand.
SPIRITS.—There are now few buyers of East India
Rum: merchants are less firm, and have accepted is
3id per gallon proof. Leeward Island can be obtained
at is 5d to la 6d proof. For Jamaica there is a fair
home trade demand, but inferior must be quoted
rather cheaper. The prices taken for common quality
30 to 32 per cent over proof have been 2s 3d to 2s 6d, mid
and good 32 to 35 over 2s 7d to 3s, fine 34 to 38 over
3s 2d to 3s Bd, and superior 3s 9d to 4s 3d; but there is
no increase of supply. Demerara is held for 2a 2d to 2s
5d for 32 to 43 over proof, but purchases have been upon
a small scale. Sale of Cognac best brands of the

5s 6d to 6s 6d, low to mid qualities 2s 10d to 4s 10d;
Bordeaux 2s 2d to 2s 4d. British made Spirits is in
good request, and previous terms of 9s 8d to 9s 9d net
cash are well sustained; and Gin 8s for 22 under proof;
indeed an advance is likely to take place. Geneva is in
larger request, common at is 7d to Is Bd, and fine at
Is 9d to 2s per gallon.
SALTPETRE.—There is a good business doing, the
parcels disposed of privately realising from 24s 6d to

riffa 3s 2d to 3s 7d perlb.

freely supplied, bat a reduction of 2d per lb having been
submitted to occasioned a good demand to exist. At
auction 195 arms Guatemala were mostly disposed of at
from 2s 6d to 4s 7d, and 33 trot Caraccas at 3s to 3s 9d.
Madras is wanted; other sorts of East India have been
operated in with caution for all purposes, and there are
sellers at last sale's rates.

Wm.—A further reduction having been submitted to
for Linseed Oil, occasioned a good demand to prevail on
the spot at 27s 6d to 2Ss per cwt. There are, however,
few buyers for delivery, although sellers are willing to
accept 27s to 27s 3d for the early part of next year, and
26s to 263 6d for last six months. Thero is an im-
proving demand for Rape Oil; brown at 30s 6d to 31s,
