MOLASSES.-For West : India prices are kept low by
the heavy stock ; a good d emand however has prevailed.
This afternoon some par gels of West India were sold
privately, but at the lost r rates of 20s to 24s per
cwt. Those parties howeis er that were anxious to rea-
lise, have mostly disposed ye their stocks.
FRUIT.-In Currants dr ,nsre has been a good business
transacted ; the supply is falling off, and prices rule
firm at 47s to 49s for Pat ',ras, and 41s to 43s per cwt
for Zante and Cephalonia.. To-day accounts were re-
ceived from the Islands and the Morea, up to
the 11th August, stating • that the Currant crop had
been much injured, and wt auld be less than it was last
year. Holders here, in cc isequence, displayedincreased
firmness; indeed, several 01 f them would not name a price.
The nearest quotations It re 48s to 51s for Paths, and
42s to 45s for Zante and. G ephalonia. Raisins have met
with ready purchasers ; re d Smyrna at 43s to 445, and
Sun 383 per cwt.

purchase West India Coffe 1, and the market having been
better supplied, a decline in prices of 2s per cwt has
taken place. This afte moon Havannah of sound
quality was all taken in above the value, fine ordinary
at 43s 6d to 44s 6d, good or elinary 39s to 41s; the damaged

at 62s to 655, fine ordina.e y 56s to 60s, and ordinary 50s
to 52s per cwt.
TEA.-The market has a firm appearance for nearly
every description of Tea. None has been offered at auc-
tion. Common Congou has been fetching 100 to lid,

Is 6d, fine and Pekoe descriptions is 6id to 2s 4d,
Pouchong at sid to 9d i'ar common to good, and superior

prices are not so firm. Scanted Orange Pekoe was in brisk
demand, and the supply lb( 'ing small prices continue high;
sales made at 3s ld to 3s 5t I per lb. Plain Orange Pekoe at
is 7d to 2s 4d. Twanka3-, is 2d to is 3d paid for com-

powder and Imperial have! been disposed of at very full
rates. For Hyson 2s 5d to 2s 6d per lb is
the value of common quality. In Young Hyson and
Caper more business has been transacted, and prices
have an upward tendency. For Black and common
Green Tea prices rule under those of last season, but for
fine sorts they are rather above those of that time. To-
day several parcels of Tea were sold at firm rates ; sound
common Congou, cash, is not to be purchased under
1 Id per lb.

sellers, and have submitted to a reduction on previous

attention, and full rates paid. Singapore fine bold brown

value. Cinnamon 2d to 3d per lb above those of the last
quarterly sale.
RICE.-Importers of Bengal are not inclined to sub-

from offering any at public sale. This afternoon there
was a limited demand only for Bengal Rice, and 1,183
bags at auction were partly disposed of, but full
prices were obtained ; mid pearly white went at lOs 6d

ABERDEENSHIRE MOORS.—The accounts from the
different shooting quarters at the head of this county,
and adjoining districts, are of the most favourable de-
scription, and seldom hare we heard of all parties being
so generally delighted as is the case this season. There
is rarely any change among the sporting tenants in that
district. The Duke of Leeds still continues at Mar
Lodge • Sir Alexander Duff, and a numerous party,
is at dorriemulzie •, Mr. Edmunds and Captain Met-
hold occupy Glencallader ; Colonel Towers has Crich,
on the Invercauld West Deer Eorest ; Messrs. Barker,
Fowler, and party the Spittal shootings ; Sir Ben-
jamin Hall, and Lord Castlereagh and party, Gairnshiel
and Moss of Monaltrie ; Sir F. Sykes and party,
Corndavon ; Lord Henry Bentinck, Glenn von and Tomin-
toul shooting • Sir George Sitwell, Balmoral ;• Lord
de Tabley and Mr. Warburton, Abergeldie ; Messrs.
Lightfoot, Boyd, and party, Glenmuick ; and Sir Fre-
derick Stovin, Deskrieshiel. The birds are described
as being not only most abundant, but strong and well-
grown. In general, the parties seem to have averaged
another t
oe n
about 40 brace a gun the first day. Sir Benjamin
lallhas one day since, we believe, bagged 69 brace ;

w 4.0 brace in
Bell, in the Glass lau t, bagged 68 brace, six white hares,
and a roebuck, although not on the ground
the day ; while
Boyd (a gentleman upwards of
seventy years of ago) brought home his 50 brace from
Glenmuick. All that seems wanted is a return of favour-
able ,seather to render this one of the most memorable
seasons in the annals of grouse shooting.—Aberdeen
Journal.

At the York August meeting just concluded, Mr.
Dixon's Jamie Forrest, aged, did honour to his patro-
nymic, for he came in the fourth and last horse in the
race for the Great Ebor Handicap.—Edinburgh paper.
