INDIGO.-In consequence of the quarterly sale of East
India commencing on Tuesday next, and the quantity
offered to be large, amounting to 12,915 chests, little
business has been transacted by shippers or the home
trade. Holders, however, remain firm, and nothing is
to be purchased excepting at the rates of the last quar-
terly sale.
OILS.-Olive Oil is not much wanted at present, but
prices do not give way, Gallipoli selling at 441 to 451,
Spanish 41/ to 431, and Barbary 391 to 40/ per tun. In
Linseed Oil a considerable business has been tran-
sacted at 24s 3d to 24s 6d per cwt ; prices are 6s to
7s per cwt lower than they were at this period last year,
and there is a very large consumption going on. Rape,

Nut Oil were sold at 27s 3d to 29s 6cl for Ceylon, and
27s 6d to 28s per cwt for Cochin China. Pale Seal Oil
was held for the advanced rates 351 lOs to 361 per tun.
TALLOW.-The transactions in Russian Tallow on
the spot have been upon a limited scale only, and
holders experience difficulty in supporting previous rates ;
for old P. Y. Candle the demand has been only for small
parcels at 41s to 41s 3d, and at 41s 6d to 41s 9d
per cwt for new. For delivery there are sellers upon
easier terms, but few purchasers are to be met with-.
51s 6d per cwt accepted for the next two months of the
year. Town Tallow, however, still sells freely at 40s 6d
to 41s per cwt nett cash.

PORTSOKEN WARD.—OFFICIAL DECLARATION OF
ma POLL.—Yesterday afternoon, at five o'clock, a
wardmote of the ward of Portsoken, adjourned from
Friday last, was resumed at the late workhouse, in the
board room, Cock and Hoop-yard, Houndsditcb, to re-
ceive the official declaration of the poll, upon the elec-
tion of an Alderman, in the room of Alderman T. John-
son, on which occasion there was a numerous attendance
of the electors, principally of the Jewish race. Mr. D.
Salomons arrived a few minutes before the Lord Mayor,
accompanied by his friends. Mr. Sheriff Moon was not
present. The Lord Mayor, preceded by the mace bearer
and the sword of state, having taken the chair, announced
the result of the poll to have been for Mr. D. Salomons,
168, for Mr. Sheriff Moon, 136, and declared Mr. David
Salomons to have been duly elected Alderman of the
ward.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. D. Salomon& then addressed
the electors, and moved a vote of thanks to the Lord
Mayor. Mr. Hill seconded the motion, which was
agreed to unanimously, with loud cheers. His Lordship
thanked the electors, and the wardmote was dissolved.
A remarkably fine woodcock was shot near Rain-
