THE SUN, LONDON,

tion, and rather lower rates were taken. Of 4,611 bags
Madras at public sale, not above half sold, fine pinkey
white at 93 6d, mid and good 8s 61 to 9s, low 8s to
84 61, and damaged 4s to 83 6d, but chiefly at 83 6d to 93
for sound; 960 bsgs Bengal all sold at 103 6d to lls for
good white, and damaged 5s to 93 6d per cwt.
SPIRITS.— ['here has not been much doing in East
India Rum, yet holders are firm, and will not sell under
Is 5d per gallon proof, as the quantity in first hands is
limited. Leeward Island has been operated in with caution
at is Sid to is 6id proof, but there are several buyers at
a slight reduction. Prices do not advance for Jamaica.
Since this day week the sales are 300 puns, mid quality

prices are firm, Cognac best brands of the vin-
tage of 1847 at 5s Id to 5s 2d, 1848 ditto 4s 91 to 4s
11d, 1849 ditto 4s 8d to 4s 10d, and inferior sorts 3s to
4s 6d, For Geneva the value is is 7d for common, and
fine is 9d to 2s. British made spirit is offered at 9s 5d
proof, and only a limited demand prevails.
FRUIT.—To-day at auction 453 pkgs Patras Currants
sold at 42s to 445; 79 pkgs Muscatel Raisins 751 to 82s,
and damaged 45s to 49s per cwt.
SPICES.—To day Pimento was less in demand, and
prices declined *1 to Id per lb. Of 400 bags at auction,
a part only sold, mid and good 6id to 6id, low and good
ord sid to 6d. Of long Pepper 58 bags were taken in
at 38s. 420 bags Bengal Ginger at 195 6d for good ex-
port sort. 7 cases Nutmegs, low wormy is 41 to is Bd.

for middling. Of Bourbon Cloves 48 bags realized bid
to 7d, and damaged at sid to 6d per lb; and 14 bags of
Penang Pepper at 311 for ordinary.

SALTPETRE.—The limited Cusiness concluded in
Rough has been at rather lower rates by private treaty,
and there is a more plentiful supply at market. At
auction 1,980 bags Calcutta were mostly taken in at 27s
to 27s 6d for 8 to 8,1 per cent refraction, but a few lots
sold at 26s 6d to 27s for 11 to 11a. 24 ditto 28s, and
350 bage Madras at 26s 6d to 27s for 5f per cent. Bri-
tish Refined is quoted 30s to 30s 6d, but not much has
been done. Nitrate of Soda has met with a fair sale,
and the market his firm at from 14s 3d to 14s 6d.

COCHINEAL.—Previous rates are demanded, but all
parties have operated with caution, and the stock ex-
ceeds that of last year by 3,000 bags. At auction 200
bags Honduras were only in part disposed of, ord and
mid Silvers 3s lld to 4s 2d, mid and good blacks 4s 4d
to 4a 10d; 20 bags other sorts were sold, Lima at 3s 9d
to 4s 4d, Java 3i 6d to 43 2d, and Mexican blacks 4s Id
to 4s 2d per lb.
TURPENTINE.—AIthough there are sellers of British
Refined at 29s 6d to 30s, and American at 31s per cwt,
yet operations have been upon a small scale. For rough
holders ask 7s to 7s 3d, but not much has been done.
Prices are on the advance for Tar; Stockholm selling at
20s; and Archangel 18s 6d to 19s per brl.
INDIGO.—There continues to be a good demand for
East India for all purposes, and the rates obtained are
2d to 4d per lb above the last quarterly sale, at which
the market is firm. Spanish is wanted, and the parcels
sold privately were at stiffer rates.
TAl.Low.—Only limited transactions have taken place
in Russian on the spot since our last report, and as the
stock is increasing there is a desire on the part ofim-
porters to sell fine Yellow Candle at 38s 3d to 38s
6d, and old 37s 9d to 38s per cwt. For delivery up to the
close of the year prices ruled at 37s 9d to 38s for new and
at 38s 9,1 to 39s for January and February; but there are
still few buyers. Home melted has been only in moderate
request, and is freely offered at 38s to 38s 6d nett cash
for present delivery. Of other sorts of Tallow the supply
still exceeds the demand; and prices are receding. At
auction 1,000 casks Sydney only in part sold at from 35s
to 38s 3d ; 1,100 pkgs South American 34s 6d to 38s
6d ; and 43 casks East India at 35s 6d to 38s 6d. For
auction 1,200 pkgs are declared.
OlLs.—There has been less doing in Cocoa Nut,
and prices are not supported, the supply being bet-
ter. Of 148 casks at auction, a small part only sold
at 29s 6d to 29s 9d for fine, and other sorts
25s to 28s 6d. Cocoa Nut is dull of sale, and
prices are on the decline. At auction a part only
of 132 casks found buyers at 28s to 383. Linseed
Oil has been purchased with caution on the spot fur all
purposes, and the rates acceded to are 32s 3d to 32s 6d;
for forward delivery, however, a good deal has been
done at 32s 6d to 32s 9d; and there are not free sel-
lers. The production of Oil does not much exceed
consumption. There yet exists a good demand
for Olive, and holders have confidence; Gallipoli and
Spanish realise 441 to 451, and other descriptions 421 105
to 431 106 per ton. Cod Oil is held for 391 to 404
at these high rates, however, dealers are not much dis-
posed to operate. In Seal sales have been upon a
limited scale; still holders are firm, and obtain for Pale
381 to 391; straw, yello've and brown 34110 s to 371 10s.
Southern is yet in small supply, and there are
several buyers at from 341 to 37/ for common and
fine quality. A good demand exists for Sperm, and
861 to 871 is the value of fine; there is also only a limited
amount on offer. Ileadmatter has been selling at 901 to
93/ per tun. Rape Seed Oil is not much wanted, and
more desire is evinced to sell brown at 36s 6d to 36a 9d,
Pale 37s to 37s 9d, and Foreign 33s to 38s 3d per cwt.
