drawn. 2,028 chests (including 1,116 withdrawn) passed
the sale. The attendance of foreign and home buyers
was smaller than mini; speculators, however, from the
very beginning, appeared willing to give the price at
which the marks for bona fide sales were generally li-
mited, viz., 10d to Is advance on the July rates, exporters
and home consumers taking but a moderate proportion,
and acting throughout with great caution.

SALTPETRE.-40-day at 'auction 779 bags Calcutta
were taken in rather above the value, good quality Si

Honduras Cochineal went at rather higher rates, ord to
good silvers at 3s 81 to 4s 2d, and 2 bags middling
blacks realised 4s 4d to 4s 6d per lb.
TALLOW.—Prices have not improved for Russian on
the spot, although a good business has been concluded
by town and country dealers. The value of fine new
Yellow Candle is 383 9d to 395, and old 38s to 38s
31 per cwt. For delivery there has not been much
passing, but the rates demanded are 39s to 39s 3d for
separate months,3Bs 3d to 38s 6d for the last two months,
and 39s to 39s 3d for January and February, but there
are many buyers rather under these terms. Home. melted,
however, still finds a free sale at 38s 6d to 393 net cash,
for present delivery. Prices have been steady for other
kinds of Tallow, and at auction 587 casks Australian
were nearly all sold at 345 to 38s 9d, for common and
fine, 24 do Portugal 37s to 38s, 11 do E. I. 383 3d, 250
packages South American 36: to 39s 6d, and 150 casks

casks, &c., of Tallow ere declared.
OlLS.—There has been a good deal doing in Seal Oil
st advanced rates, and chiefly by home dealers; Pale
realised 391 to 401 yellow, Straw and Brown 351 to 361
per tun. Cod is held for 351 103 to 364 but the
trade operate with caation as ariivals are near
at hand. No further rise apparent for Southern, but sup-
ply is limited, and a good demand exists; at public sale
63 tuns went at 341 103 to 351 lOs for mid and fine.
In Sperm several purchases have been made, and a
less amount is on offer, the rates paid for good
and fine Colonial are 831 to 841 103, and Headmatter
881 to 921. Operations in Rape Seed Oil are to a
limited extent. British Refined at 37s to 38s, Foreign
38s 3d to 38s 6d, and Brown at 36s to 36s 6d. For
delivery there are, however, sellers rather under
these rates. Linseed Oil has been operated in
with caution by home dealers and shippers, whereas
sellers are willing to accept 31s 9d to 32s on the spot,
there being a plentiful supply. Few contracts have been
entered into for delivery, and 31s to 31s 3d is the value.
A good business has been concluded in Palm; fine realised
29s 6d to 30s per cwt.

authorised to prohibit all navigation of that river, if mi-

REEDTZ

M. le Chevalier,—With reference to the official note
which I had the honour to address to you on the 21st
instant, I•have to inform you, that according to informa-
tion which I have received, the Commander-in-Chief of
the Danish farces has been obliged to make use of the
authority given to him to prohibit the navigation of the
Eyder.
_ _

In order to afford as far as possible every facility to
the navigation of friendly and neutral Powers, the Go-
"vernment, of the King my august master has, in the
mean time, hastened to allow neutral ships coming from
the Baltic to leave that river until the 10th of October
inclusive, and orders to that effect have been issued to
the competent authorities.
With respect to vessels coming from the North Sea,
I have the honour to observe to you, that the port of
Tiinningen not being closed, masters of vessels may dis-
charge their cargoes there, unless they should prefer to
pursue their voyage by the Sound.—Accept, &c.
(Signed) REEDTI.
