easier terms; good to fine ord went at 40s to 46s 6d; '
Triage 30s 6d to 35s 6d and Pea Berry 44s to 52s 6d;
very ord 36a to 38s per cwt.
TEA.—In Congou transactions have been upon a I
small scale by home dealers and exporters, although
rather lower terms have been accepted. Low quality has
been selling at Bid to Sid, good ord 9d to Oid, imid
blackish leak lid to 11(4, strong ditto is to is id,
superior and Pekoe flavour is lid to is 6d. In
Soechong purchases have been trifling, and there
are sellers of common to mid at 9d to ls, good
to fine is ld to is 7d, and superior is 8d to 2s;
supply also continues to increase. There are few
buyers of Oolong, and merchants are disposed to ac-
cept from lid to is 3d, and for fine 15 4d to is 7d.
In the market for inferior and medium sorts of Green
much dulness prevails, ann in consequence of the
large parcels on offer prices haat) again given way. A fair
demand has been expressed for good and fine qualities,
but previous terms are readily accepted. In Scented
and Pekoe Teas there is yet little passing, and prices
have a downward tendency. To-day there was a re-
luctance to operate in Tea at the public sales, and former
rates are supported with difficulty for Black and Green.
Of 10,000 pkgs offered, only 2,200 actually found
buyers.
Rim—This afternoon rather lower rates were taken
for East India Rice ; the consequence was that 5,320
bgs and 139 pks Bengal at auction were nearly all dis-
posed of—good white went at 9s to 9s 6d, mid 8s 6d,
small broken 7s to 7s 6d, and damaged 6s to 8s 6d;
but 633 bgs Madras were taken in at 7s to is 6d for
sound pinkey. Of Sago Flour 661 bgs were bought in
at 14s; but 117 chts Sago sold at 17s to 17s 6d for
mid pearl. Of Jamaica Arrowroot 800 tins were taken
in at bid to 7d ; 233 chts East India sold at lid per lb.
GINGER.—To-day at the public sales prices declined
3s to ss, 381 cs Malabar sold at 303 to 33s for mid home
trade sort; 231 cases 177 bags Cochin at 31s ed to 378,
ord 295, very inferior 20s to 235, but 236 cs were with-
drawn; 70 hds Jamaica sold at 448 to 75s for ord to
good.
SPIRITS.—There is a reluctance to operate in East
India Rum, and prices have slightly declined, sales
having been made at is 3d to is 3i'd per gallon proof,
and there is a more plentiful supply. Leeward Island is
dull of sale, and can be obtained at is 4id to is sid
proof. Operations in Demerara have been upon a small
schle, and a desire is evinced to sell 32 to 40 over
2s ld to 2s 3d, and 28 to 30 over is 10d to 2s. There
are few buyers of Jamaica for any purpose, and supply
is on the increase; in the value of fine there is scarcely
any variation, but prices are drooping for other sorts.
For Havannah few buyers are to be met with, and Is 2d
is the nearest value proof. Brandy has not improved in
value, although a good demand prevails, but stock re-
mains heavy. Cognac, best brands of the vintage 1850:
which has been most in request, realised 4s 4d to 4s 6d;
there is, however, a desire to sell 1849 at 4s 7d to 4s 9d,
1848 ditto 53 to 5s 2d, older 5s 4d to 6s 4d, low to mid
2s 9d to 3s 9d, and Bourdeaux 2s 2d to 2s 4d. The de-
mand for British made spirit brisk at 9s 5d to 9s 6d nett
cash, and Gin 7s 10d for 22 under proof.
SALTPETRE.—The demand is better for Rough, and
prices have become firm; there is also a less amount on
offer. Privately several parcels of Calcutta were dis-
posed of at 25s 6d to 28s 6d for low to fine. At auction
400 bgs realised 25s ed to 26s for mid lot to per cent
refraction. British refined is in good request at 29s to
30a. Several purchases have been made in Nitrate of
Soda at 14s 6d to 15s per cwt.
INDIGO.—To-day 600 srns Guatamala Indigo were
offered at public sale, and about two.thirds sold; good
and fine sorts averaged former rates, but low and mid
went ld to 2d lower; Sobres sold at from 2s 9d to 3s Bd,
and Cortes 3s 8d to 4s 9d.
COCHINEAL.—A good business has been concluded,
and a small advance was obtained for Silvers; but prices
have slightly given way for black. At auction 340 bgs
Honduras were nearly all disposed of: low to mid Sil-
vers went at 2s 103 to 3s 2d, good to fine 3s 3d to 3s 8d;
mid to good black 3s 61 to 4s; but 36s bags of Mexican
Silvers were taken in at 3s 2d to 3s 3d for good. The
value of black is 3s 2d to 3s sd; Teneriffe from 3s 3d to
31 10d. _ _

FRIIIT.—There is already a plentiful supply of new
Valentia Raisins, and there are sellers at 37s to 38s, but
the trade operate with reluctance; old, however, is
wanted at 27s to 28s. A good demand prevails for new
Currants at 425, and few parcels are in the market; old,
however, met with a slow sale at 32s to 40s, and low 24s
to 30s. There are law buyers of new Turkey pulled
Figs, Sultanas or Muscatels, and 60s to 65s is the value.
TALLOW.—There is less demand for Russian on the

spot, and prices have receded, fine old yellow Candle
selling at 388 6d to 395, and new at 39s 3d to 39s 6d per
cwt. Only limited contracts have been entered into for
delivery, and lower rates are acceded to ; sales
having been made at 39s 6d to 39s 9d for last
three months of the year : and at 405 for the
early part 1852. Home melted, however, continues in
good demand, and realises 378 64 to 38s net cash, but
supply is plentiful. Other sorts are more plentiful, and
rather cheaper. Of 1,100 pkgs South American at auc-
tion not about half sold at 33s to 38s 6d for low to fine;
330 casks Sydney—Mutton 36s to 395; Beef at 35s 6d to
37s 6d. _ .

Ons.—Although Seal can be obtained at a further
reduction, yet purchases have been upon a small
scale—pale at 331 to 331 13s, and other sorts 301 to
321 lOs per tun. Cod is held for 361 to 361 10s ;
but only trifling purchases have been made. South-
ern is, however, wanted, and supply being small,
holders are enabled to obtain 311 to 331 10s for low
to fine; but a decline is shortly looked for. A good de-
mand exists for Sperm at 851 to 871, but the market
will be more freely supplied shortly. Lleadmatter is
still selling at 921 to 911, and is scarce. Olive continues
to find a free sale ; merchants have confidence, and
obtain for Gallipoli 401 lOs to 411 lOs ;
other sorts 391 to 401. Although Linseed Oil is to be
obtained at 31s Gd per cwt ou the spot;
operations have been limited by exporters and home
consumers. For delivery up to the close of the year
there are sellers at 30s 9d to 31s; and for the
early part of 1852 at 308 3d to 30s 6d, still few
contracts have been entered into. In Rape Oil a
good business is doing, but at moderate rates; brown
selling at 31s to 31s 63, pale 325; Refined Foreign
33s 6d to 345, Of East India Ground Nut 220 casks at
auction were nearly all taken in at 31s to 31s 3d. Palm
has been operated in with caution; and there are sellers
of good to fine at 26s to 275. Cocoa Nut Oil is less
wanted, and more desire is evinced to sell Cochin at
32s to 345; Ceylon 31s to 335; Sydney at 28s to
30s 6d. The value of Lard Oil is 423 to 455, and in
small supply.

THE LEWES SHEEP FAIR.
(From the Snesex Advertiser of this day.)
The Great September Sheep Fair was held yesterday
on the Wollands, near Lewes. A more brilliant and
unclouded day, from morning till night, has not been
seen during the whole summer; and that, considering
the extraordinary beauty of the season, is a great thing
to say. About 27,000 sheep and lambs were penned,
and at an early hour the arrival of many distant flock-
masters and dealers betokened that it was likely to be a
day of business.

This indication, we are happy to say, was fully borne
out by the subsequent transactions. One of the com-
plaints frequently charged against our Sheep Fair
is that no business can bo done in the morning, but
that buyer and seller can rarely "come together"
till after dinner. On the present occasion, however,
matters wore 'a different complexion. Our visitors
evidently " meant business," and after a little cautious,
but perhaps needful sparring, buyer and seller fairly
got to work, and many transactions were closed beforo
all the sheep had arrived on the hill. As is pretty
nearly always the case, the " top" lots were eagerly
sought after, and of these—both ewes and lambs—sales
were readily effected at satisfactory prices. There
was likewise a brisk demand for strong useful ewes, of
which the dealers from other counties were ready buy-
ers, at prices which, under all circumstances, were not to
be complained of. Lambs of fair size and quality were
also in demand at proportionate figures. Culls—both
ewes and lambs—likewise found buyers at business-like
rates. The demand for rams was on the whole rather
flat, although some of our professed ram breeders were
more fortunate, and effected numerous satisfactory sales.
Among the lots which particularly attracted attention
were a pen of ten score lambs belonging to Wm. Catt,
Esq., of Bishopstone. They were allowed by all to be a
" crack" lot, and were sold at 21s. 6d. Mr. Emery,
of Thurston, had a pen of very fins ewes for which
he obtained 38i. Messrs. Hampton, of Applesham,
had a pen of 100 ewes, two score of which were
picked at 425., being bought for the Duke of
Portland ; the remaining sixty being sold to make
up an average of 355., the price for which Messrs.
Hampton had last week sold a similar lot of 100, to the
agent of the Hon. C. C. Cavendish, Buckinghamshire.
Messrs. Hampton had also a pen of nearly two score
rams and rain lambs, about two-thirds of which found a
sale, several of them being bought by the agents of the
Duke of Norfolk, the Earl of Liverpool, the Earl of
Essex, and Lord Deere. Mr. Tanner, of Patcham,
had some capital ewes, for the top lots of which he ob-
tained 305., and 225. for his culls. A pen of lambs
were also sold by the same breeder at 225. We
heard of but one sale of lambs above this quotation,
viz.—by Mr. Thomas Eilman, who was enabled to score
245. as his figure. A pen of wether tegs sent by Mr.
J. Hillman, fetched 30s. Among the general sales we
heard quoted—Colonel Paine, ewes, 245. 6d.; Rev. J.
Goring, ditto ; , 255. — Scrase, (Ditchling), ditto, 28s;
n Susby, ditto, 245; W. Tompett, ditto, 245., lambs,
18s. ; J. Waters, ewes, 295, lambs, 21s. ; J. Pagden,
ew:- a, 253. ; Mr. Britton, ditto, 245. ; W. K.
Sampsoll, ditto, 255. • Gorringe (Berlin),
ditiO, 275., lambs, 20a. ; P. Gorringe, ewes, 28s. ;
