5,000 hats Beriga), and 200 hhd3 Cuou 111u,.e: vado.

BEFINED.—To-day there was a brisker demand for

were obtain eJ; sales of brown lump were made at
48s 6d to 495, and 6..4' to good grocery 49s 6d to sls per
cat. In the value of Bonded Cradled Sugar there is no
variation, and little business was concluded.

of 9,200 bags; the chief portion found purchasers, but in
a few cases rather lower rates were acceded to; low and

West India Molasses, and at auction 192 puns Demerara
were taken in at 15s per cwt fur ord quality,
COFFEE.—Tu-day there was firmness on the part of
holders of Cuffee, and nose was offered at auction. The
home trade demand is improving, and by private treaty
a fair business was concluded. For Native Ceylon the
value is now 47s to 48s for good ord. There is no
public sale of Coffee at present declared, and the quan-
tity on offer by private treaty is much less than in the
past week of all descriptions.
Cocoa.—A larger amount of Foreign is on offer, and
prices have declined, as orders are yet small. At public
sale 1,600 bags of Guayaquill taken in at 30; to 32e.
The private purchases are only 150 bags Para at 28s 6d,
and 800 bags Guayaquil at 29s per Cwt.

scale for all purposes, and as the market is well supplied
a slight decline in the value has taken place, but the
lower sorts are now least in request. In black the sales
made have been to a limited extent only, and easier
' terms are acceded to, al the supply is getting upon a
larger scale. For ord end good common the value is 9d
to 91d, medium sorts 101 to is 2d, and better sorts is
2ifl to is 9d. Scented Teas met with little attention,
and can be ccraieed rather under former rates. A fair
quantity is also on offer.
lircE.—Home dealers and shippers lave maie pur-
chases with caution in East Judie, holders are still
desirous to realize, and the small business concluded
by private treaty has been upon rather lower terms. Fur
low to middling white Bengal the value is from 8s to 9s,
better sort 9s 6d to 10; 6d, cargo 7s to 7s 6d, Madras pinky

tainrd at is 4d to Is 5d per gallon proof, still only trifling
sales have been made, and the market is better supplied.
There has been little enquiry after East India, and is 4d
is the nearerst value of proof. Demerara has
bren sold t a fair extent at from 2s 2d to 2s 6d
for 30 to 40 per cent over proof, but holders
appear more disposed to sell at these terms. Fine
Jamaica has been more in demand for home consump.-
tion and exportation at fully previous terms, bat for other
soft; there are few buyers, and rather lower terms are
acceL'el to. The value of 20 to 29 per cent, over proof
is from 2s 3d to 2s 7d for plain and mid quality, 30 to
36 over mid and good 2s 8d to 3s 2d, fine 3s 3d to

5d to 4s 7d, and inferior sorts 2s 10d to 4s 63 per

place. Geneva is not much wantd, sellers are willing

fine. The value of British•made Spirit is 9s 5d to 9s 6d
proof, and of Gin is 10d to 8s 4d for 17 to 22 per cent
