rara and at firm rates, 30 to 40 per cent. over
proof selling at 23 3d to 2s 63, and supplies are small of
strong sorts. Jamaica is not to be obtained upon lower
terms. The value of‘ 1 to 29 per cent over proof is
from 2s 4d to 2s 8 30

6 over 2s 9d to 3s 3d, and
N superior marks 3 dt. . s 2d. In the Brandy
ti 6
market there is smiles- still the demand
from shippers and home dealers has been
limited. We quote Cognac best brands of the
vintage of 1849 at 4s 6d to 4s Bd, 1848 ditto 4s 8d to
43 10d, 1847 ditto 5s 4d to 5s 6d, inferior sorts 3s to
4s sd, and Bordeaux 2s 8d to 2s 10d. Geneva is held
for is 9d to is 10d and fine 2s 3d to 3s; still there are few
buyers. For British-made Spirit the value is 9s 6d, net
cash, and fir Gin 7s 101 to 85 4d for 17 to 22 per cent
under proof, but trade is far from active.
SALTPETRE.—TO-day a fair amount of business was
concluded in Rough, by private treaty, and at full terms;
at auction 104 bags of Calcutta sold at 283 per cwt for
31 per cent refraction.
INDIGO .—East India has been purchased with caution
fur all purposes; on the part of holders there is also less
firmness, and in some rases the rates acceded to are
rather under those of the last quarterly silos. There
are fsw buyers of Spanish, and former terms are not to
be obtained.
TALLOW. —Operations have been upon a limited scale
in Russian on the spot for all purposes since last Tues-
day, and holders display less firmness. Prices Lave
declined to 36s 9d to 37s per cwt for fine P. Y.
Candle, still little variation f, om present rates is ex-
pected to take place, although the stock ex.:ads
that of last year. Few buyers are to be met with for
delivery in last three months of the year, and
tellers appear disposed to accept 378 9d to 38s per
cat. Home meltal is offered at the moderate rates of
36s t.) 36s 6d nett cash, and only limited purchases
have been made. Other kinds of Tallow have not
realised,former terms and supplies much exceed dealers'
wants. At auction 800 phgs South American, a part
only sold at from 31s Gd to 36i 6d for low to fine, 900
casks Sydney 33s to 375, whilst 30 casks Portugal rea-
lised 35s to 35s 6d per cwt.
OILS.--Although Olive is to be obtained at a further
reductions, still operations have been upon a limited
scale at 451 to 481 per tun, and there are free sellers.
Cocoa Nut dull of sale, and prices continue to recede;
tine Ceylon is offered at 33s to 33s 6d, Cochin
at 34s to 353 per cwt, and there continues
to be a large stock with only a moderate con-
sumption. Palm met with little attention, and 31s to
325 is the value of good and fine ; there is also a better
supply at market. Rapeseed Oil is offered at a further
reduction, yet few buyers are to be met with. English has
been selling at 40s to 40s 6cl, brown 393 to 393 61, foreign
refined 425, and brown 40s per cwt. Linseed oil met with
little attention from shippers or home dealers; there is
also a more plentiful supply, and more desire is evinced
to sell at 32s 3e; to 323 6d on the spot, and at 32s 6] to
33s for delivery. For Southern Oil prices vary from 31/ to
331103 for ord to fine, and only small orders have been
executed. The rates asked for Cod are 331 103 to 34/.
For Seal trade is dull; sellers are also disposed to accept
for pale 371 to 371 13s, straw-and tinged 331 to 36/, yellow
and brown 311 to 321 10s. Only trifling purchases have
been made in sperm, and 111 1013 to 281 is the value of
fine colonial.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
IPSWICH, MARCH 3.
We continue to be most scantily supplied with wheat, not-
withstanding which the millers only can buy, as no market
offers any demand for shipment ; the prides were nominally
the same. Barley was in large supply, and a shade lower in
price. Beans, peas, and malt neglected.

Messrs. Taylor and Bright's Circular states :—Arrivals
continue moderate, and the trade unaltered. The show of
wheat from the farmers to day was small. We note no altera-
tion in value, but an opinion seems rather gaining ground
that we have seen the lowest. All kinds of spring corn are
procurable at a tempting law price. The transactions are
limited in both linseed and rapeseed. A better demand fur
rape cakes, and no alteration in the value of linseed cakes.

LITERTOOL, MARCH 19.—At ;his day's market there was a
flu,- attendance of dealers, and a large show of wheat and
flour, fresh arrived. A moderate retail demand was experi-
enced for wheat, at the full prices of this day week for all de-
scriptions. Flour was in rather better request, and choice
'qualities of American were 6d per barrel, and French Is per
sack higher, and Irish supported previous rates. Oats, with a
limited demand, were not lower; but oatmeal gave way about
3d per load. In foreign barley, beans, and peas, there was
litile done, and no material change in prices. Indian corn
being in fair request for shipment to Ireland, sound qualities of
yellow advanced 6d per quarter, but white, in some instances,
was rather cheaper.
