per cwt.
at TEA —There I-as again been a large business trans.
acted in common Oongou for home trade purposes, and
the export demand continues good, whilst the latest rates
paid are 101 d to I Id per lb, and there are not free sel-
lers thereat, as supplies continue to diminish. In medium
sorts a good deal has been done at Is to ls 2d, whilst for
better kinds a more active demand has been experienced,
and prices are firm at is 3d to is Bd. There has
been little desire to operate in Hysons; at the same time
lower rates are not acceded to, but large operations have
taken place in young Bysons, and stiff rates are paid.
In other sorts of green the business done has been of a
satisfactory nature, and prices are fatly as high as on
this day week. Previous terms are well sustained for
scented and Pekce Teas; a fair business has also been
concluded.

SPIRITS.—For East India Rum there is a quiet market;
still sellers will not accept less than Is 3d per gallon
proof; and there is not a more plentiful supply. Leeward
Island is held for is 4d to Is 42d proof, but opera-
tions aro small and confined to 200 puns ; still
there are several buyers at a slight reduction. In
Demerara operations are 250 puns at Is 11d to 2s 2d for
30 to 40 over proof, Prices remain firm for better qua-
lities of Jamaica, for which the home and export
demand has been good, but only small orders
have been executed, for inferior and previous
terms are supported with difficulty. The pur-
chases are 300 puns, low quality 35 over at 2s sd, 30
to 36 over clean, ord and good 2s 6d to 3s, better sort 34
to 38 over 3s 2d to 3s 9d, and high flavoured 3s 10d to

Is 6d to is 7d, end fine for consumption 2s to 3s. For
British made Spirits rates remain the same es on this
day week, with a more active demand.
INDIGO.—Since the termination of the quarterly sale
there has been a good home and export demand, and
about 600 chests have been sold at fall rates. Speniah
fully sustained the former value, and the public sale of
90 :zeroes Guatemala went off well, at 2s 3d to 4s 6d
per lb.

large scale, and the supply is much reduced, prices also
exhibit a further advance, and rule at 333 93
to 34s per cwt on the sect. For delivery a fair
business has been done at 33s to 333 6d. Rape-
seed Oil has been 'in good request, and prices
