SFIRITS.—Fine Jamaica Rum met with increased at-

30 0 puns at 3s 2d to 3s 8d for 34 to 38 over proof, with
aE. mall proportion at 3s 91 to 4s 2,1 for choice. Other
sor ts, however, are purchased with reluctance, and there
are sellers of good 32 to 34 over at 2s 9d to 3s, good
mid 2s 6d to 2s Bd, ord and mid 2S to 32 over 2s 3d to
2s 5 d. In Demerara several transactions have taken

at 1 a Ild to 2s for 26 to 28 over. East India is
wan tell at is 3d to is 3id proof; few parcels are, how-
ever, 'to be obtained. Leeward Island is held for Is
5d to is 6d proof; there are, however, now few buyers.
Havai inah is not to be obtained under is 2/cl proof. Rum
is Id to 2d per gallon cheaper than in the previous sea-

184f8 ditto 5s to 5s 2d, older 5s 6d to 6s 2d, low and
mid sorts 2s 9d to 3s 103, and Bordeaux 23 2d to 2s 4d.
In ';he market for British made Spirio there is still
fire mess, and a good business is doing at 9s 5d to 95 6d
net cash. Gin at 7s 101 for 29 under proof. Geneva
is cdering at is 6cl to is Bd, fine is 9d to 23; purchases

'.:,licE.—To-day full rates were demanded for East

auction 3,200 bags Bengal were taken in at 9i 6d to
103 for good middling and good white, and broken Bs,
bu; damaged sold at 6s to 9s ; 2OO ban's Madras at 8s

tins sold at 4d to 7d per lb.
INDIGO,—To-day during the progress of the sale 147
chts have been withdrawn, and 1,884 chests, including
808 withdrawn, have passed. Several parcels of very
low Madras and lierpah were chiefly taken
in at the last sale's prices; the few lots
of better quality brought the rates previously established.
Proprietors bought in 547 chests. Of the quantity
which has now passed the sale, 16,389 chests, 6,085
have been withdrawn, 2,847 chests bought in, leaving
7,457 chests sold. _

COCHINEAL—Prices have undergone no further re-
duction, but the home and export demand has been only
for small parcels. Honduras silvers, low to mid at 2s
9d to 3s, better kinds 3s ld to 3s 7d, black from 3s 2d
to 4s 8d; Mexican silvers, 2s 9d to 2s 11d, black 3s
to 3s 8d; and Teneriffe, from 3s 3d to 3s 10d.
SALTPETRE.—Prices are not lower, but the private
purchases have been small in Calcutta at from 25s Gd to
28s 6d for low to fine quality. At auction 960 bags
were taken in at from 25s Gd to 263 for refraction 13i
to 14i per cent, and 730 bags Bombay at 25s for 114 to
30 per cent. Operations in British Refined are limited
at 29s to 30s: Nitrate of Soda is held for 14s 6d to 15s,
but there are few buyers.
TALLow.—Although there are sellers of Russian on
the spot at a further reduction, yet home dealers cannot
be induced to purchase more than sufficient for their
present wants. Fine old Yellow Candle is offered at
375, and new 37s 6d to 38s per cwt; from these
terms, however, little variation is looked for. Opera-
tions are limited for delivery, and the rates acceded to
are 373 6d for new up to the close of the year, and at
38s for the early part of 1852. Home melted is cheaper,
limited transactions having taken place at 37s to 38s net
cash. Other sorts are also lower, and supply exceeds
dealers' wants.

Oms.—Operations in Linseed Oil continue upon a
small scale both by shippers and home dealers, although
there are sellers at the moderate rates of 22s 9d to 30s per
cwt. The contracts concluded for delivery are small at 29e
6d, and the supply of oil is plentiful. In Rape Oil many
purchases have been made, yet no advance has been
produced—brown selling at 30s to 30s 6d, pale 31s 6d
to 32s ; Refined Foreign 333 to 345. Palm continues to
be much wanted; and good to fine sorts realised 27s to
28s. Cocoa Nut is in bri3k demand, and the
upward movement continues. A public sale of
100 packages of Cochin went at 34s to 363 for mid
to flue quality. There is still a large business doing in
Olive Oil, and merchants remain firm : they obtain for
Gilltpoli 411 103 to 421103, and other sorts 401 to 411 per
tun. For Seal Oil a brisker demand exists i❑ conse-
quence of 321 to 321 10a having been taken for pale ;
and 301 to 311 103 for other sorts. Cod is cheaper,
limited parcels sold at 341 lOs to 35/. There is a reluc-
tance to operate in Southern Oil, and common to fine
quality can be obtained at from 30/ lOs to 321. Holders
of Sperm, however, yet evince confidence, and several
transactions have taken place at from 841 to 871. Head-
matter is worth 931 to 951 per tun. Lard Oil is held for
49s to 51s; Teel Seed at 29s per cwt.
