INDIGO.—In consequence of the announcement of the
large quantity of 18,854 chests of East India for publio
o mpetitiosi on the 7th of October, purchases have been
upon a small scale by exporters and home dealers during
the last few days, still holders will not sell, but at full rates.
Spanish has been in good demand, and full rates are
obtained for better sorts, whilst a small advance has
taken place for inferior. At auction 550 erns Guatemala
were sold ; very lean Copper and Coppery Cortes at Is
8d to 3s 2d ; mid to good, with a few fine Sobres 33 6d
to 5s ld per lb. A public sale of 600 mons is an-
nounced.
FRUlT.—There aro few buyers of Raisins, and a de-
sire is evinced to sell old Valencia at 27s to 28s; Belvi-
dere 24s to 295; Eleme 33s to 363, and Muscatels at 36s
to 605. For low and mid sorts of Currants the demand
is dull at 24s to 325; and merchants are disposed to sell;
but good and fine kinds aro wanted at 34a to 42s per
cwt, and of such there is a decreasing stock; inferior
Fruit is, however, yet plentiful.
SALTPETRE.—To-day Saltpetre was operated in with
reluctance, and prices declined 6d per cwt. At auction
556 bags Calcutta were only in part sold; mid quality
18 per cent. refraction went at 25s to 25a 6d, 9 to 8i
ditto 263. _ _

COCHINEAL.—A further increase has taken place in
supplies, prices have fallen ld to 2d for Black, and best
sorts of Silver; in the value of inferior there is, how-
ever, no variation. At auction 400 bags were chiefly dis-
posed of; ordinary to good black Honduras went at 3s 6d
to 4s 6d ; Silvers, low to ord 2s lld to 3s ; mid to good,
3s Di to 3s 3d; fine, 3s 4d to 3s sd; Mexican Silvers,
good, 3s; ord and mid black 3s 4d to 3s sd; and 10 bags
black Teneriffe 3s 9d per pound. Several parcels are
announced for auction.

TALLow.—There is still confidence on the part of
hoPers of Russian here, and the demand for home con-
sumption is good; fine new Y.C. realised 36s 6d to 395,
and old at 37s 9d to 38s per cwt; at present, however,
higher rates are not anticipated. For delivery many con-
tracts have been concluded; new at 38s 9d to 39a for the
last three months of the year, and 393 3d to 39a 6d for
January, February, and March. Of home melted large
parcels have been sold at 37s to 37s 6d net cash. Pre-
vious terms are well supported for other kinds, and there
is no increase of supply. At auction 380 casks of Aus-
tralian were chiefly disposed of, Ox at 35s to 375, Sheep
36s to 37s 9d; 423 packages South American 34s 9d to
37s 6d, and 310 skins Ibrail 35s to 36s 6d per cwt.
Oies.—The purchases made in Cod Oil have been
upon a small scale, and there are sellers at 361 per tun.
Seal has been purchased with reluctance, and rates
incline downwards, ruling for pale at 34/ to 341 10s,
and other sorts 32/ to 331. There are now
few buyers of Southern, and rates are not
so firm ; common to good selling at 31/ to 33/,
and fine 32/ lOs to 33/, whilst public sales will be de•
dared shortly. Sperm is held with firmness; fine
British 851 to 861, and American 841 to 851, but pur-
chases have been upon a small scale, and supply is
rather more plentiful. Headmatter is selling at
91/ to 931, and is yet scarce. Rapeseed Oil
met with little attention, and supply is on the
increase; pale is offered at 32s 6d to 335, brown 31s 6d
to 325, and refined foreign 34s to 35s per cwt. For
Cocoa Nut a brisker demand prevails, and supply is
limited. Cochineal realized 31s 6d to 33s 6d, and Ceylon
31s to 32s 61 A good demand prevails for Pale, and
fine is worth 27a to 27s 6d; there is an increasing supply.
Linseed Oil is rather cheaper, but many purchases have
been made by home dealers, and a fair export business
prevails at 32s 6d. For future delivery the terms lac-
ended to are 31s 6d to 31s 9d, and few transactions have
taken place. For Olive the market is brisk, and rates
rule firm.
