Dobah sort there is yet little to be had, and
for such high rates are offered. Of Madras none has
again been brought to public sale, much inquiry has pre-
vailed, and the few parcels on offer by private treaty met
with eager buyers at prices showing an advance on those
of the last auction of is 6d to 2s per cwt. Holders of
Foreign East India have confidence, the stock being re
duced to 61,583 bags, &c., which is 89,526 bags, &c.,
less than it was last year. Manilla is held with firmness.
Java has supported the former value, but there has not
been much business done.

FOREIGN.—The accounts come to hand from the va
rious Continental markets being highly favourable for
Foreign Sugar, cause holders here to have confidence,
and none of any description has been brought to public
sale. Yellow Havannah has been purchased with more
freedom, and the rates given are fully equal to those of
this day week. Brazil is much wanted by exporters and
our refiners working under bond, but the quantity at
market is still small. although buyers are willing to pay
stiffer rates. Porto Rico is wanted at 25s to to 26s per
cwt, but there is little to be had. All other sorts of

parcels are to be met with.

descriptions of West India, and prices are still going up.
Bengal Treacle is wanted, but there is little to be had.
TEA.—An increased desire has been manifested to
purchase all descriptions, and for Black prices have
assumed an upward tendency, but in the value of Green
there is little improvement to notice at present. Mer-
chants manifest firmness, and still refrain from offering
any at public sole.
Cocoa.—With Foreign the wants of the trade are not
yet supplied, and the supply has again become small ;
prices are firm, and rule at 36s to 41s per cwt according
to quality. Pritish Plantation has been purchased with
increased freedom, and the rates obtained are fully equal
to those of this day week.
COFFEE.—This afternoon Ceylon Coffee met with less
attention, and 892 bags at public sale were mostly taken
in at 48s for good ord pale. Of Costa Rica 3,810 bags

for Bengal Rive ; 3,201 bags were offered at public sale,
after 500 bags had been disposed of at 12s 6d to 15, for
good middling perly white, being a decline on the rates
of the last auction of 4s to 5s per cwt. the remainder was
all withdrawn, the broker not heing inclined to sell any
more at the reduced rates.

IRITS.—For Jamaica Rum of all qualities prices
rerm.,in firm, and sales to a fair extent have been made ;

advance in prices has taken place. Geneva has been in
good demand for export, and prices have advanced to

to 2s Bd. The market is very firm for British Corn
Spirits, and the supply is not large ; lOs 2d per gallon
is the value, nett cash.

INDIGO.—There has been more activity in the market
for East India, but the heavy stock, and the favourable
accounts of the forthcoming crop prevents any improve-
ment in prices from taking place.

FALKIRK AUGUST TRYST.

This is the first great market in Scotland for Argyle-
shire, Angus, Aberdeenshire, and Morayshire cattle.
There are no sheep at this (August) Tryst, conse-
quently- the market was not held till Tuesday.
Sales were long in commencing, few having been ef-
fected before eleven o'clock yesterday (Tuesday.)
Holders of stock stood out for high prices, and intending
purchasers finely declined to give the prices asked, con-
sequently this may be truly designated " a dull and dear
market."
Upon our entering the ground, it struck us as having
more the appearance of a September or October Tryst
than of an August one, there being from a third
to a fourth more cattle on the ground than has appeared
for some years past at this Tryst. ,There was a great
want of stir and animation throughout the whole
day, and sales continued languid till the close of the
market. As compared with the last year's August
Tryst, we have to quote Argyleshirc and north country
black cattle, one or two years old, at an advance of
from 10 to 15 per cent. up ; whilst, fur Aberdeen•
shire, Morayshire, and Angus-shire, of two and three
years old, being fat and half fat, the rise in price
was not nearly so great-in general only about 5 per
cent.
Holders of stock gradually gave way as the day
advanced, and, to a certain extent, purchasers also
advanced their offers in the afternoon ; the market,
however, continued languid throughout, and a good
many remained unsold, and we should suppose that a
number will appear on the ground to-day (Wednesday).
We may mention that the description of stock brought
forward yesterday could not (either as to breed or
numbers) be properly considered as knots n stock, gene-
ral;y speaking, much of it being (in the railway sense r",
the term) merely brought forward as feelers. ,A 3 corn.

4- in the southern markets, there
-eresent sufficient to have c'eared the
market ; 62...'s those from the south maintained that the
Price:. asked were such, that they could not venture to
gurchase for the southern markets.
A rather novel feature has sprung up in the market,
from a considerable number (600 or 700 yesterday) of
Irish cattle being brought forward. The presence of
this sort of stock in the Falkirk Tryst may be ac-
counted for partly from the facility of transmission,
and perhaps and more especially from more attention as
to breed, the Irish cows being crossed by fine short horn
bre& ds.
What tended to make holders of stock stand out
more firmly, was the fact of a number of sales having
been effected on the previous evening, at higher rates than
what could be obtained in the market yesterday.
As we have mentioned above, one and two year old
small beasts from the North and West Highlands realised
a rise of price from last year ; yet even for this sort
sales were dull, and a number unsold.
The first sale we heard of was for a lot of very good
stirks (stots) from Mr. A. M'Arthur, Lochaber (six
quarters old of course), at 31. 10s. a-head ; they were
purchased by Mr. Gray, Balmaclellan. A lot of two
and three-years old queys, from Argyleshire (Mr.
M'Naught's, Dumbartonshire) fetched 4/. 155., and a lot
of Argyleshire two-years old at 31 155.-this last lot
was from ss. to 7s. 7d. a-head up from last August
Tryst. Forty head of two years old stots, from Skye,
fetched 4/. 45.-last year 31. 10s. ; they were sold by
Mr. Donald Cameron, Enchrea, Lochaber. This gentle
man sold twenty head of the same breed, two years old,
at 41., and another lot at 31. ss. This last lot was bought
by Mr. Anderson of Dumfries. A lot of foray head of
two years old, from Morvern, Argyleshire, fetched
the second top price, 6/. 10s. Mr. Alexander
M'Farlane sold the top-priced two years old
West Highland stots at 6/. 14r. a head. A lot
of spotted cattle in very good condition fetched
131. ss. A lot of Lews two years old fetched 31-last
year 2/ 15., and same condition. A lot which had been
purchased yesterday month from Mr. Fraser, banker,
Dornoch, at the Kyles of Sutherland, for 4/. 45., were
sold yesterday at 41. 10s. a head, being a loss of fully
2s. 6d. each. Indeed, we may mention that in several
cases dealers complained that they had sustained loss on
recent purchases, while we understood in other cases,
est ecially from the West Highlands, good profits had
been realised. This stock gave 41. and 41. ss. at the
August Tryst last year. A lot of three years old Mull
queys fetched 61.; last year, 5/. Bs. and 51. 10s. A lot of
two years old Lews cattle etched 31. 12s. 6d.; last year,
31. 55.-they were for the county of Essex this year.
Another lot of Lewa two years old stots fetched 21. 15s.
-this lot was also for Essex. Other lots were bought
by Mr. Bray, of Lincolnshire. Mr. Bray also bought a
lot of small ponies at 31. ss. each. Mr. Flockhart,
salesman, Edinburgh, sold mixed Highlanders at 51. lOs.
and 5/. 15s. a head, two years old. A lot of small West
Highland stirks fetched 1/. 10s. a head-they were for
Dumfriesshire. A lot of three years old Aberdeenshire,
half fat, fetched 13/. 155., for Overtown, Kirkliston
Generally, good two years old West Highland stots
fetched from 51. to 61. 10s. Mr. Cameron, of Corry.
choilie sold a lot of two years old Argyleshires at 51. 10 s .
and a lot of three years old ditto queys, at 71., to Mr. Rid.
dell, of Cumberland.

HEAVY CATTLE.
Mr. Fyfe, Kerriemuir, a lot of Angus, half-fat, three
years old, fetched 111. 10s., and a lot of three years old
Ross-shire, at 111. 155., and a third lot of Angus three
years old at 101. A lot of fat Angus fetched 141., being
about 7s. 6d. per Dutch stone. A lot of two and three
years old Angus fetched 81. 15s. to winter in Fifeshire.
lot of two and three years Perthshire queys, fetched
71. 10s., last year 61. 15s. and 71. Twenty head of two
years old Angus for graziers fetched 51. 55., last year
4/. 7s. 6cl ; and twelve head of half-fat cross Angus, two
years old, for feeding out, at 71. 10s. Mr. Campbell,
salesman, bought three years old Angus at 12/. 10s.,
strong-boned, to put on turnip in Mid-Lothian.
IRISH CATTLE.—MT. M'AITOy Sold year olds at 61.65.,
strong-boned, and two years old at 10/. each, and several
other lots at proportionate prices, but all at a shade
below Edinburgh prices.
FAT CATTLE.—A lot of forty-two head of prime fat
cattle, bought by Mr. Bell, flesher, Glasgow, at from
7s. 9d. to Bs. per Dutch stone. Other lots of fat cattle
realised about 7s. 9d. Dutch, and all sold.
HORSES.—There was a good number of horses shown
but all of an inferior sort ; indeed, there was only one
really good one, a draught horse, which sold for 441.
There were neither hunter, harness, riding, coach, nor
other draught horse, fetched a price worth quoting ; con-
sequently, any sales effected form no criterion as to the
price of horse-flesh.—Ross-shire Advertiser.
