poses, although there were sellers at rather lower rates.
MOLASSES.—The demand is better for West India
chiefly for expectation, but prices continue low, ruling at
12s 6d to I3s 6d for Antigua and Bsrbadoes; of lls 6d
to 19s for other sorts, there is however a less quantity
on offer. Bengal and Mauritius are wanted at lls to

found; East India can be obtained at 8s to 14s, and
West India at 24s to 34s per cwt.

supplied with all sorts of Coffee, but the home and ex-
port demand being limited, previous rates were barely
sustained. At auction 129 casks and 12 bags Plantation

lon closes with dullness at 40s to 40s 6d for good ord.

low and good 9d to 9.1 d, mixed blackish leaf 10d to 11d,
strong do 1 lid to is Old, superior Pekoe kinds is id to is
6d. Oolong continues to he wanted, and the prices paid

Souchong sales are limited, fine is 6d to 2s, good is to
Is 4d, common and middling 10d to Ild, and several

over proof of ord and mid quality, and small parcels
fine at 3s 2d to 4s 2d for 24 to 38 over. Demerara of
strong quality is wanted at 2s ld to 2s 3d for 34 to 40
over, but the quantity unsold is small. In Leeward Is-
land purchoses to a fair extent have been made at is 5d

small. Brandy sells with more freedom, and rates are
firm, ruling for Cognac best brands of the vintage of

tions are small at Is 6d to is Bd, and fine is 9d to 2s.

value of low to fine Calcutta. British Refined is in
good demand, and there are now few sellers under 30s.

part of merchants to sell ord low and defective qualities
of Bengal at the quarterly sales,:and the rates accepted
are now 4d to 6d per lb under those current
in July, still the demand has been limited, especially for
home consumption, and the trade do not appear dis-
posed to purchase more than sufficient for their imme-
diate wants; the mid, good, and fine sorts have been
operated in with reluctance; rates also continue to recede,
and are 2d to 3d under th 2 last quarterly sale. Dry
leaf Madras of fair and good quality as well as Kurpeh,
however, continues in good request, at an advance pre-
viously established of 2d to 4d, but lower qualities yet
sell heavily at a reduction of 2d to 3d. Oude purchased
with reluctance, and terms compared with July exhibit
a decline of 2d to 4d per ib. For Spanish previous
rates are equally supported, and at auction 363 serons
Gnatemala were all sold at from 2s 8d to 4s 11d, stock
is now 1,160 serons, and last year 693; deliveries are
