market for Crushed is still dull, with free sellers at
former rates.

Bengal sold at stiffer rates; good white Benares went at
393 to 39s 6d, ord and mid 37s to 38s 9d per cwt.
FOREIGN.—To- day several inquiries existed for float-
ing cargoes and duty-paid parcels of Foreign, but there
being few sellers at previous rates, business of moment
was prevented. At sale 108 hhds, 124 brls Porto Rico
sold rather dearer; fine yellow went at 39s to 40s 6d,

to 31s per cwt. To-day at public sale 100 bags Cocoa
were taken in at 27s to 28s, these are former rates.
CoarEE.—To-day there was a reluctance on the part
of shippers and home dealers to operate, still there was
no increase of supply, and full rates were demanded.

to 40-s 6d for good ord; and of 4,714 bags Costa Rica a
small part only sold at 46s to 50s for fine to fine fine ord,

TEA.—A large home and export demand has been ex.
perienced for common Congou this week, at 9d to 9id
per lb, and at these rates there is a firm market. For the
former purpose medium and strong blackish leaf kinds

fine sad pekoe flavour continues to attract little notice, and
are freely offered fur sale at is 2d to Is 6d. There is more
doing in Oolong at 13 to is 7d; Souchong is yet ope-
rated in with reluctance, and sellers are willing to accept
9cl to lld for ord to mid; and at is to 2s for good to
fine. Holders of green are reluctant to sell at a further
decline; there is, however, no decrease in supply, and
operations remain small, especially in ord and mid; but
there is a good demand for Young Hyson, especially
Canton made. Scented or Pekoe sorts not cheaper than
last week, at the same time few transactions have taken
place, and supply is plentiful.
