the lower sorts, however, a fair amount of business has been
done. Fur Pouchong the demand has been good, and prices

of the importers to lighten their stock : of Curiants there
are sellers at 45s to 46s for Zante and Cephalonia, and 46s to
49s for Patras. Valentia Raisins are a heavy sale at 41s to
42. ; of Red Smyrna and Chesme a further decline has been

operated with caution, and prices have declined Id for mid,
and Id to 2d per lb for the better qualities.
OILS .—A fair demand has been experienced for Olive Oil,
but prices continue to rule low. Rape Seed Oil must again
be quoted cheaper, and the trade are cautious in their proceed-
ings. For Linseed Oil prii!cs firm, and the demand on the spot
has been good at 255, for forward delivery several contracts
have been entered into at 25s to 35s 3d. Palm is not so
much wanted, and prices are a little lower. Cocoa Nut is
wanted. Prices are on the decline for Seal Oil but the de-
