per cwt. The market has a firm appearance.
INDIGO.-Since the conclusion of the quarterly sale of
East India there has been only a limited demand for
home consumption or shipping, but merchants are not
inclined to further give way in prices, and few parcels
are offering fur sale. In Spanish little business has been
transacted, and parcels could only be disposed of upon
lower terms. In Germany and Russian the consump-
tion has been unusually large this season and is likely
to continue on account of the low rates which prevail.
COCHINEAL.-A further decline of prices of Id per lb
has taken place in Cochineal ; of 112 bags offered at
public sale two thirds found purchasers-Honduras low

127 casks of New South Wales at 38s to 41s 3d per cwt.
OILS.-There has been more inclination to purchase
Linseed Oil this week, but prices have been prevented
from advancing owing to the large supply ; a fair busi-
ness has been transacted on the spot at 23a 9d to
24s per cwt, and for delivery some contracts have
been entered into, if it were not for the high rates the
crushers are getting for cakes, they could not afford
to sell Oil at the present low prices ; it is cheaper than
has been the case for several years. For Rape the de-
mand has fallen off, and prices are not so firm. Pale at
35s 6d to 365, and brown 34s 6d to 355. Palm

and holders show firmness. Cocoa Nut Oil at 28s to
