Mocha, and 553 bags Costa Rica; Ceylon was nearly
all disposed of. Plantation kinds at full rates,
but good ord went again 6d cheaper-Planta-
tion, fine fine ord sold at 68s to 745, low mid
765, fine fine ord 635, fine ord unclean 58s Gd, good ord
545, pea berry 86s 6d, inferior 78s 6d, good ord pale
50s 6d to Ms 6d ; Mocha all sold, in consequence of a
decline in prices of 2s to 3s having been submitted to-
mid clean yellow long berry sold at 65s to 695, good and
fine ord green 59s to 61s 6d, and good ord brown 58s to
595 ; Costa Rica was taken in-low mid at 58s, fine fine
ord 54s to 555, fine ord 51s, and inferior 44s per cwt.
Cocoas-The dullness in the West India market has
increased, and former rates are barely supported ; there
has been scarcely any business doing by private con-
tract, and at public sale 224 packages were all taken
in-Trinidad mixed red at 41s, ord rather mouldy
40s. Foreign is still wanted, and prices rule
high in consequence of the scanty supply at market.
MOLASSEEL-This afternoon there was less demand for
West India Molasses, and 152 puns at auction were only
partly sold at 19s 6d for ordinary, and at 17s per cwt for
very low quality.
Tna..-The market is firm, and importers still refrain
from offering any at public sale, the deliveries have again
exceeded the arrivals, and the stock consequently has
further diminished. Congou has been more inquired
after during the last few days, and a fair business has
been transacted at full prices, common selling at lld
to Hid, and good common Hid to is id per
lb, the market is sparingly supplied with all descriptions.
Pouchong has met with a good sale, but not at higher
rates, common fetching 7d to Bd, and the better sorts
9d to is 2d per lb ; the lower sorts are most in request.
In Twankay the transactions are upon a more exceeded
scale, common at is 24d to is 30 per lb. Hyson is
much in request and in consequence of the short supply
prices are fully as high, common fetching 2s 7d to 2s Bd,
mid 2s 9d to 2s 10d, good 2s lid to 3s, and fine
3s 2d to 4s 6d per lb. There are several buyers of
young Hyson, but there is little in the market, Imperial
and Gunpowder are little inquired for, but prices do not
give way. Fine scented Orange Pekoe is fetching 3s 4d
to 3s 5d per lb, and there is still a scarcity of this kind
of Tea. The clearances of Tea for home consumption
from this port are going on at the rate of half a million
pounds weekly. The trade do not hold a large quan-
tity of black or green. The quantity of Tea in specula-
tors' hands is less than for some years at this time.
SPICES.-This afternoon black Pepper met with less
attention, and 1,000 bags of Malabar at auction sold at
a decline on former rates ofd per lb-half heavy selling
at 3d to 3id, heavy sid to aid, light 211 to 2id, and sea
damaged 2i-cl to 3id. Cassia Lignea was in good
demand, and 400 boxes at public sale all sold at
full prices for the low and mid kinds, but good went
Is to 2s per cwt cheaper-good thin sold at 65s 6d, good
mid 60s to 61s 6d, mid 56s 6d to 588 6d, low mid 54s to
54s 6d, ord coarse 52s to 52s 6d, good ord 535 to 53s 6d,
discoloured 518 to 555, broken ends 53s 6d to 54s 6d,
mouldy 51s to 533 6d, and broken 48s 6d to 49s per cwt.
lituu, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-The home and ex-
port idemand for Jamaica Rum has been limited this
week ; only small parcels have been sold, at 3s 6d to
3s 8d for common and mid quality, 28 to 30 per cent
over proof. In Leeward: there has been very little busi-
ness done, and there are sellers of proof at 2s 3d. Calcutta
Rued,. 2s to 2s 1 d per gall proof, with certificate. Demerara
at 36 Id to 3s 3d for good and &Ise strong qualities. The
stock of Brandy is still diminishing, and for the best de-
scriptions there has been a good demand since our last
report. Cognac, best brands of the vintage of 1833,
hhds 5s 3d, puns 5s Id; ditto 1839, hhds ss, pus

auction were mostly taken in at 6d to is per cwt above
the value; good yellow at 10s, yellowish white Bengal
kind at lOs 6d, a few lots of damaged sold at stiff rates
and fetched 8s to 9s 6d per cwt.
SALTPETRE.-This afternoon rough was less wanted,
and 400 bags of Madras at auction were taken in at 25a
to 25s Gd for mid white rather damp 101 por cent refrac-
tion, being the full worth.
CocitiNaat.-An increased desire has been maul.
fested to purchase this article, and prices are still going
up ; indeed there is not sufficient at market to supply
the wants of shiprers or the home trade. At auction
*6 bags of Honduras were nearly all disposed of at
Id per lb advance, fine bold silvers at 4s 10d
to 4s 11d, good 48 8d to 4s 9d, mid 4s 7d, very
low foxey to ordinary 4s 5d to 4s Cal; 18 bags of Granilla
sold at Is 9d to 28 10d for small ordinary and good bold,
and 3 bags of Gerblings at is eal to Is ed per lb. The
ships arrived of late have brought a loss quantity of
Cochineal than was expected.-
Oses.-Importers of Cod Oil are anxious sellers on
account of the increasing arrivals, and have submitted
to a reduction on previous rates of 103 to 15s; buyers,
however, are more inclined to do business upon these
terms, and at 29/ lOs to 30/ per tun several parcels have
been disposed of. Seal at 321 10a to 33/ for pale; 301 to
311 for yellow. 311 to 32/ for straw, and at 281 to 29/ for

Nut 159 land of Ceylon at public ..ale were all disposed
, of, fine at 271 10. to 28/, and good 271 per tun. Prices
have advanced for African Ground Nut Oil owing to
the
scanty supply ; 20 brig at auction fetched 341 lOs to
331 10s er tura Palm 25s to 26s per cal paid foi
fine quality. Olive 421 to 431 paid for Gallipoli ; 411 to

yellow Candle at 38s 9d per cwt.

STATE OF THE HOSIERY AND
LACE TRADES.
The condition of the wrought cotton hose branch is
much as previously reported. The cut-up branch is also
very dull, and the drawer branch is much the same.
The silk branch is in a languishing state. The bobbin-
net trade is dull, but we do not hear of those heavy
complaints we did some time since. Great exertions
are making on all sides to improve the manufacture as
respects patterns, but not as regards the texture of the
net, in the levers machines, the other three princi-
ples of the circular bolt, the tranverse warp, and the
pusher, in general making traversed nets. The latter
principle, we had hoped, would have been ere this in
full activity, but it appears the heavy cost of applying
the jacquard, and the delicate construction of the ma-
chinery, have prevented the owners from extending the
manufacture. A new, and, as we hope, important ma-
nufacture, is produced from the traverse warp ma-
chine, at Beeston, f6r which Messrs. Nichols, of Gold-
smith-street, Lendon, have a patent. The article in
general use, is made from the weaver's loom, and
is termed braiding, of NY hich there are about 500
weavers employed in England, and about a third of that
number in France. The French have the monopoly of
a similar manufacture at Tarrare, near Lyons, with this
exception, that the French fabric is made all plain, the
English invented article is part plain and part open
work. That made on the traverse warp machine is
part lace and part plain or linen work. The singularity
of this production is, that the linen work, though made
at the same time with the net, is made as long again
(or even more), and is gathered on the edge into plaits
or puckers, so as to form a puff. The contrast between
the net and the linen is darker and more striking than
we have yet seen produced, even by the needle, and has
a truly elegant and unique appearance. At present it
is made in stripes, the net being slightly ornamented,
either with bullet holes or the insertion of threads, in
the same manner as traverse warp nets are in general
ornamented. Teese puffs can, when required, be in-
stantly stopped and succeeded by net, and there is rea-
son to think that puffed or embossed patterns may be
made by the application of the jacquard. From what
we can learn, the pusher machiaes are adapted to make
this article, which it is hoped will be patronised by the
English nobility and gentry in their spring fashions, and
thus give a new impetus to native industry. The article
is perfectly sound and good, and bids defiance to the
ordeal of the wash-tub.---The warp-lace trade is slowly
improving, but is not much increasing in the extent
of machinery. Every branch and department seems
upon the increase, but the tatting branch appears the
most stable and flourishing.—Nottirigharn Review.

On Monday morning, at about four o'clock, a fire,
entirely the result of accident, broke out at No. 6, Edgar-
buildings, Bath, the residence of Col. Strutt, but which, by
timely assistance, was confined to the bedroom of that gen-
tleman, in which it originated. We are sorry, however, to
state that, in addition to the alarm which the accident occa-
sioned, the Gallant Colonel suffered personal injury from
the flames, being much beurctiod on his hands and face,
as did also his daughter, the lion. Emily Strutt, who, M
her eadeaioura to extinguish the fire, was very severely
burned on her hands and about her head and face.-
