yellow brought 6d per cwt advance.

Refined goods by the home trade, and it was difficult tea buy at
former rates, brown Grocery lumps fetched 66s to eGs 6d, and

Sugar is again higher, sales having been made at 42s 6d to
42s 9d per cwt.

former rates.

tention, and 2,445 li,gs at auction sold at full rates for yellow

MOLASEES.—The business transacted in West India hasbeen
extensive, and there are sellers at lower rates ; the market is
much better supplied : 16s to 21s is the value according to the
quality. _ _

TEA.—Holders of Congou are for the most part unwilling to
take lower rates, but the purchases made have been to a small
extent. Pouchong is held firmly at 5d to 9d, for Twankay
holders experience a difficulty in getting former rates. 113 son
has been purchased with caution, but holders are not inclined
to further reduce their prices. In Imperial and Gunpowder
little business has been done, and there are sellers at the re-
duced rates. Scented Orange Pekoe is held with firmness at
3s to 3s 3d.

COFFEE. —The market has been better supplied with all
descriptions of West India this week ; the best met with at-
tention, and brought full rates ; but middling and all inferior
quali!ios have been purchased with caution, and a decline in
the value of is to 2s per cwt has occurred.

and 2icd for common greyish dusty.
Faum—The market for Currants has a dull appearance,
and lower prices have been submitted to. In Valentia Raisins
the holders have given way Is per cwt, without facilitating
large sales, and 41s is the value. In Red Smyrna there is
very little doing, and of Elemes, in cases, there are sellers at
40s per cwt.
The advanced rates for .Jamaica Rum are fully
supported and a good demand exists, the sales reach 150 puns.
Leeward Island has been in excellent request at former prices.
The market is firm for Demerara and a fair amount of business
has been transacted. Of Calcutta some parcels with certifi-
cate have been disposed of at Is 8d to is 9d proof. There are
few purchasers of Brandy for exportation, the home demand has
been limited, and speculators refrain from operating.

quantity declared for sale was 17,196 chests, of which 5,931
chests were withdrawn, and 1,619 bought in, making the quan-
tity actually sold about 10,400; the latter includes about 750
of the bought in and withdrawn, placed during the progress of
the sales.

Ous.---For Olive Oil reduced rates having been submitted
to has occasioned the demand to be good, but low prices have
been accepted. Rape Oil has met with little attention. In Cocoa
Nut a good business has been transacted at 27s to 29s for common
to fine quality. For Palm no further advance in the value has
occurred. Linseed Oil has sustained the former value, with a
good demand. Of common descriptions of Fish Oils the stock
has further increased, and holders are yet desirous to realise.

Russian Tallow this week, the stock is less, and the deliveries
larger than they were last year, but prices are lower than at

In starting, the Shields boat took the lead, and maintained
it until near the turn- boat, where the three boats fouled, and
the Shields boat was thrown out and slightly damaged. The
race was won cleverly by fully two boat lengths.

The Northumberland Club rowed the boat built by Harry
Clasper, named the "Five Brothers," which is well known as
the boat rowed by the Claspers previous to the latenew " Lord
Ravensworth" being built. The Dunstan Club's boat was also
built by Harry Clasper. The Sunderland Club put in a protest
of foul play after the race, on the allegation that the Dunstan
Club had crossed their course. After a stormy debate, these
two crews rowed over again, when the Dunstan Club came in a
winner by about eight lengths. The first boats in each beat
contend for the prize on Tuesday.

'1 he interest. on the issue of this race was intense, owing
to the celebrity of the Claspers, who nave been very great
favourites s.nce the Thames Regatta, where they defeated the
London watermen, and owing to their rowing against what are
called the " Five Fules," acknowledged to be•a first-class set
of Tyne-side lads, who had a crack boat, built expressly fm.•
them by Mr. Anderson of Shields. The superior skill and
science of the Claspers, however, proved too much for the
physical strength and manhood of their adversaries, and they
came in first by about eight lengths, running the distance, three
miles, in 141 minutes.
