• still deliveries exceed those of that time, and in prices
little difference is apparent. The market is quiet for
West India, and the value is from 143 to 173 for low to
fine quality. East India met with little attention, and is
only wort:, 13s 6d to 14s, still these terms are not ob-
tainable for large parcels. A fall in the value of Honey
is apparent.
TEA.—There are free sellers of Congou at previous
terms, yet town and country dealers are not disposed to
get more into stock, and only a limited business has
been done ; low to good crd at 9d to 91c1; medium kind,
10d to is 2d ; and better sort, is 21c1 to is 9d.
There are several export buyers of ord rather under
present rates. Scented and Pekoe Tea met with little
attention, and can be obtained at rather lower. The
common and mid sorts of Green are offered rather under
former rates, yet buyers have made purchases with cau-
tion. For other kinds the market has a dull aspect, and
prices are drooping. There is a probability that black
and green Tea will be cheaper.
COCOA.—In Foreign operations have been upon a
small scale by private treaty, prices are drooping, and
rule at 28s to 29s per cwt. None has been offered
at public sale, still there is a large stock. British
Plantation continues to be purchased with caution, and
if sales were pressed a further decline in the value would
be the result.

COFFEE.—To-day there was much business in the
Coffee market, and the limited business concluded by
private treaty is at a further reduction. The value of
Native Ceylon is 51s to 52s for good ordinary. At auc-
tion 52 casks Plantation went at prices nearly as low as
they weere three weeks back; middling sold at 57s to 58s,
and fine fine ord at 55s 6d to 56s per cwt. At a late
houa this afternoon more desire was evinced to operate
in Native Ceylon at the decline noticed previously, and
about 5,000 bags were sold.
RICE.—To-day a public sale of 622 bags and 367 pkts
of Bengal Rice went at steady rates; mid white at 9s to
9s 6d, and damaged 5s 6d to 7s 6d per cwt. Of Sago
650 bags were taken in at 20s 61 to 22s for pearl, the.,e
are barely former rates. 58 pkgs Bermuda Arrowroot
at is 6d to is 7d, and 10 bags Tapioca at 6d per lb.
SPIcEs.—To-day at auction 600 boxes of Cassia Lig-
nea were taken in at about late rates; pile 1 at 107 s,
pile 2 at 105 e, pile 3 at 104 s, mouldy at 1025 6d, and
broken ends at 1004. Of Nutmegs 8 cks Dutch limed
were taken in at 3s for bold, and small at is 10d per lb.

SPIRITS.—There is a firmness on the part of fielders
of Jamaica Rum. The value of 20 to 29 per cent. over
proof is 23 3d to 2s Bd, 30 to 36 over 2s 9d to 3s 6d,
superior 3s 7d to 3s 9d, and very fine 3s 101 to 4s 3d per
gallon. There are several buyers rather under these
rates. Demerara is not much wanted, and holders
appear disposed to sell 30 to 38 per cent over proof
at from 2s 2d to 2s 7d. For Leeward is and the ratan
asked are is 4id to Is 5d proof, but only small orders
have been executed, there is not a better supply. East.
India cannot be obtained under is 4d, still the de-
mand continues limited, and few parcel 3 are on
offer. In Brandy the amount of business con-
cluded has been small during the week, and a desire
is evinced to sell Cognac best brands of the
vintage of 1849 at 4s 54 to 4s 70, 1848 ditto 4s 6d to
4s Bd, and inferior sorts 2s 9d to 4s 4d per gallon.
The tendency of prices appears to be downwards, as
stocks continue to accumulate, and, deliveries are
much less than a few months past. Geneva is not
much wanted, sellers are willing to accept Is 7d to Is 8d
for ord export sort, and 2s 3d to 3s 3d for good to fine
home trade kind. There aro tree sellers of British Corn
Spirits at former rates of 9s 5d to Os 6d per gallon nett
cash, and only a moderate trade has been done. In the
value of Gin no variation is apparent.
SALTPETRE.—To-day the market for Saltpetre was in
a dull state, and a small part only cf 1,159 bags Cal-
cutta, at auction found buyers at easier rates, middling
quslity- 64 to 8:1, per cent refraction at 25s 6d to 263 6d,
good 5 to 5i ditto 27s re: cwt.
Immoo.—Purchases to a fair extent have been made
in East India this week by shippers and home dealers,
whilst the rates paid are fully equal to last sale, and it
some cases rather above. The market has a firm ap-
pearance for all sorts. Spanish is in brisker demand at
late terms.

COCHINEAL—There has not been much desire to ope-
rate, and the market has been well supplied. At thi
public sales tc-day cf 200 bags prices declined 2d for
blacks, and Id for silvers, but the chief part sold;
Honduras silvers went at from 3s 8d to 4s 4d, Mexican
3s 8d to 3s 9d, blacks 3a 7d to 4s Id, and Lima at 3s 6ri
to 4s 4d per lb.
OlLS.—Operations in Rapeseed Oil have been to
a large extent during the week, and prices are
now firm; British Refined 40s, brown 38s 6;1
395; Foreign Refined 40s 6i to 41s, and brown
394 to 39s 6d per cwt. Cocoa Nut met with
little attention from shippers and home dealers,
Ceylon of good and fine quality is to be obtaineo
at 31s to 335, and Cochin at 32s to 345. These mode-
rate rates are expected to cause en improved demand.
Of Palm buyers operate with caution, fine is to be
obtained at 31s to 31s 6d, still there is a fair con-
sumption. Holders of Olive appear not dis
posed to make any fur;her concession in the
value, and require 471 to 481 for Gallipoli and
Spanish 441. 10s. to 454 lOs fur Barbary, Levant, anu
Portugal ; still there is no improvement in the home or
export demand, but consumption is better than a
few weeks back. Only limited orders have been
executer' for Linseed Oil for shipping, and holm
dealers operated with caution ; larger parcel,
of Oil are on offer, and a desire is evinced
to sell at 32s 6d to 32s 9d per cwt. Only limited con
tracts hzve been concluded fur delivery, the rats ac-
ceded to aro 32s 6d to 32s 9d. There is a further
increase cf consumption, and which is larger than
last year. The rates a:Aced for Cod are 34/ lOs to
35/. For Seal prices are drooping, pale selling at 361 to
371, straw and tinged 321t0 351. yellow and brown 301 to
31110 s. Ouly small sales have been made in Southern,
and fur low to fine prices rule from 30/ to 331; the
market will be better supplied in a short time. A desire
is evinced to sell Sperm Oil at SO/ to 811 for tine Colonial
yet dealers have made purchases with caution.

went oil quietly at about former rates; of South Ameri.
