COFFEL—The demand for Ceylon has been limited, and
prices have receded. Plantation has been sold at 52s to
53s 6d for middling, and low middling at 49s to 565, ; fine
and fine fine ord went at 44s to 48s and good and fine ord

good demand. At auction good to fine white realised lOs to
Ils, middling and good middling 9s to 9s 9d, and Madras
low pinky 7s to 7s 6d per cwt.

COTTON. —The market has been easier, and not much has
been doing.
TALLOW —P Y.C. is 37s 6d to 37s 9d per cwt on the spot.
GREEN Faum—The warm weather has improved the
sale of Oranges and Lemons, which has caused an advance in
the price of the latter. West India Pine-appl-s meet with a
ready sale ; 1,5,000 sold at public sale by Keeling and Hunt
were taken freely by the trade at pric.-s proportionate to size
and condition. Nuts dull of sale, the quantity of fresh fruits
now coming to market interfering with the sale.
TOBACCO.—SaIes last montu were 590 hhds, about 300
for export, and 290 hhds for home trade, and in some pur-
chases of the latter a slight concession was made in favour of
buyers. The market since our last has remained quiet, and
buyers in some instances have only purchased to a limited
extent, and to supply immediate wants. Sales of manufac-
tured during the month have been upwards of 600 packages,
at an advance of 3d to 6d per lb for the best brands. During
the last few days there has been a good inquiry for export,
and some sales effected for Germany and the south of Eu-
rope. Imports 97 hhds, deliveries 947 hhds, stock 24,519
hhds, against 23,553 hhds in 1850. Virginia has been in
limited demand, but previous rates fully supported. Sales
70 to 80 hhds chiefly for Ireland and Scotland, and a few
hhds for export. Recent advices from Richmond have brought
very firm prices, with a slight advance on good and fine.
From Kentucky advices by the last packet are rather more
favourable, and hopes are entertained that a continuance of
more favourable weather would remove the fears of the planters.
The New Orleans market was quiet, and sales difficult at
previous rates. Sales here have been about 500 hhds, am&

purchases have, as before observed, been made in some in-
stances at a concession to buyers, especially for fine strips.
Holders of a large portion of the stock of home trade Tobacco

have shown no disposition to alter their views of the justify-
ing causes for the range of prices which have been existing
for some time past; but there can be no doubt that they
formed an erroneous opinion as to the extent that substi-
tutes would be introduced. Sales for export may be estimated
at 260 hhds Maryland. Sales about 40 hhds. Prices at
Baltimore were firm ; Havannah has been in fair demand
at full rates. 147 bales of the new crop was offered publicly,
and, with the exception of a portion which had been sent
forward too soon, were taken by the trade and for export.
The opinion expressed some months ago relative to the new

crop will be found correct ; the quality is the best we have bad
for years. Havannah Segars in less demand, with the
exception of a few cases, taken for export, and
some limited purchases,- by the trade. Business
during the last month was extremely quiet. Manilla Che-
roots—There was a good demand during the month, and
sales might have been effected to a considerable extent, at a
slight reduction. Manilla Leaf—Nothing done. Brazil
Leaf Stock - Bare of good and fine sorts. Havannah Seed Leaf,
Porto Rico, and Florida very little in the market suitable for
the purposes of the trade. Yara and Cuba in fair demand,
at steady prices. In Columbian the demand has been more
active for good and fine sorts, the stock of which is now very
limited; sales were made to some extent for export. Ger-
man Leaf has been in less demand, and sales were effected of
mid and ord for cutting purposes at lower prices. Of Amers-
foort several lots were taken for cigar and cutting purposes.
For Negrohead and Cavendish the demand was very active;
and for good and fine brands of the former an advance of 3d
to 6d per lb was submitted to by buyers. Smalls in mode-
rate demand. Stalks (American) more inquired after.
