COFFEE.-665 bags Ceylon, British Plantation kind,
168 bales Mocha, and 327 bags Rio, were offered by
auction ; the Ceylon and Mocha were chiefly taken
in, the former at 71s to 80s for fine ord to mid colory,
British Plantation kind. The Mocha was withdrawn.
Only part of the Rio was disposed of at 30s for com-
mon mixed good ord quality.
Rum.—The quantity landed last week at the East and
West India Docks was 308 puns, 55 Ws. There
were taken for home consumption 243 puns, 16 hhds,
and exported 211 puns, 77 hhds. The stock in the same
places is 10,134 puns, 2,089 hhds.
SALTPETRE.-1,126 bags were mostly taken in above
the value, viz., at 26s 6d for 5 per cent. refraction ; 124
per cent. refraction sold at 24s (and one lot 24s 6d),
being previous rates.
SPICES —1,150 chests Cassia Lignea, and 514 Pepper,
all the former found buyers, but at very low prices, viz.,
at 50s 6d to 61s for mid coarse to good mid quality,
partly in large bundles, being a decline of fully 2s. The
latter was taken in at 2d for mid to good black Sumatra.
TALLow.—P.Y.C. is firm at 41s 3d to 42s per cwt on
the spot, and Town 43s 6d cwt.
TEA.—The market is steady, prices not undergoing
any fluctuation.

COTTON.—There have been one or two private sales at
steady rates.

(From the London New Price Current of Aug. 27.)

StrcAa.—Previous rates have been sustained for West
India of all descriptions, and a good demand has
prevailed for bright yellow sorts, of which there is
only a moderate quantity still in the market. To-day
there was less inclination shown to purchase
West India Sugar. From Grocers and Refiners the
demand was limited, and the rates accepted were 6d
per cwt under those of Friday for brown and inferior
sorts, but good and fine yellow maintained the former
currency. A public sale of Barbadoes Sugar went hea-
vily at a further decline in price of 6d per ewt. ; low
yellow at 56s to 56s 6d, mid 57s to 58s, good %id 59s to
60s, good 60s 6d to 613 6d, and fine 64s to 64s 6d per
cwt ; the trade generally still entertain a prejudice to-
wards this sort of Sugar.
REFINED.—The market has assumed a firmer appear-
ance for Refined Sugar ; the demand from the home
trade has been good, and stiffer rates given. To-day
refined goods were in excellent request by the home
trade ; Brown lumps at 735, and standard lumps 74s to
74s 6d-per cwt. The market is firm for bonded crushed
St''rars; and there are no sellers under 27s 6d per cwt
for first quality.
MAunrrnis.—A fair demand has prevailed by private
contract, especially for the better qualities, and former
rates are sustained. This afternoon buyers were less
desirous to purchase, and a part only was disposed of,
but full rates were obtained; fine yellow fetched 61s to
635, good 60s to 60s 6d, good mid 57s 6d to 595, mid
54s 6d to 56s 6d, low 53s to 545, fine brown 52s to
52s 6d, good 60s to 51s 6d, and ord 48s to 49s 6d
per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—For Bengal the demand has increased,
and by private treaty several parcels of strong yellow
and the better, sorts of white have been disposed of at
rather higher rates. This afternoon 572 bags of Bengal
Sugar were offered at auction ; nearly the whole was
damaged, and of low quality, and was chiefly taken in ;
brown drainage damaged at 42s to 475, low soft yellow
51s to 525, damp ditto, 50s, low soft white 56s 6d, and
damp ditto 55s per cwt. There was less business doing
by private contract, and easier rates were accepted for
common sorts.

FOREIGN.—The market has still a firm appearance for
all descriptions of Foreign Sugar ; for White Havannah
there has been a better demand, and the rates paid are
rather above those previously quoted. To•-day the mar-
ket was better supplied ; at public sale 587 boxes 18 brls
of Cuba, and 1,292 boxes Havannah were brought for-
ward ; nearly the whole was disposed of ; white fetched
full rates, but brown and yellow 6d to Is per cwt cheaper.
Cuba, good white fetched 27s to 28s, low to mid 25s to
26s 6d, washed 24s 6d, good sound yellow 20s to 20s 6d,
mid 19s 6d, low 18s to 18s 6d, washed 19s ; Havannah
went at 31s to 31s Gd for fine white, 29s to 30s for good,
28s Gd for mid, 25s to 27s 6d for damaged, 20s to 20s 6d
for good sound yellow, 19s 6d for mid, 17s 6d to 18s 6d
for low, 18s 6d to 19s for damaged, and 16s to 17s for
low to good sound brown.
MoLassEs.—For West India prices are kept low by
the heavy stock ; a gaod demand however has prevailed.
This afternoon some parcels of West India were sold
privately, but at the low rates of 20s to 24s per
cwt. Those parties however that were anxious to rea-
lise, have mostly disposed of their stocks.
Fatar.--In Currants there has been a good business
transacted ; the supply is falling off, and prices rule
firm at 47s to 49s for Patras, 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 would be less than it was last
year. Holders here, in consequence, displayed increased
firmness; indeed, several of them would not name a price.
The nearest quotations are 48s to 51s for Patras, and
42s to 45s for Zante and Cephalonia. Raisins have met
with ready purchasers ; red Smyrna at 43s to 445, and
Sun 38 3 per cwt.
COFFEE.—The trade have shown little inclination to
purchase West India Coffee, and the market having been
better supplied, a decline in prices of 2s per cwt has
taken . place. This afternoon Havannah of sound
quality was all taken in above the value, fine ordinary
at 43s 6d to 44s 6d, good ordinary 39s to 41s; the damaged
at moderate rates, first class at 33s 6d to 35s 6d, second do
31s 6d, third ditto 28s 6d, and sea damaged and re-
packed 275. Ceylon was taken in Is above the value,
good ordinary at 565, and ordinary 54s ; 70 bags were,
however, sold at 57s for fine ordinary, and 46s 6d to 54s
for damaged in the country. Trinidad fine fine ordinary
at 62s to 655, fine ordinary 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 Mid to 1 Id,
good common 110 to is Oid, but middling and middling
blackish leaf is ld to is 3d, good blackish leaf is 3A-d to
Is 6d, fine and Pekoe descriptions is bid to 2s 4d,
Pouchong at sid to 9d for common to good, and superior
9-id to is per lb. Souchong has met with a slow sale, and
piices are not so firm. Scented Orange Pekoe was in brisk
demand, and the supply being small prices continue high;
sales made at 3s ld to 3s 5d per lb. Plain Orange Pekoe at
Is 7d to 2s 4d. Twankay, is 2d to is 3d paid for com-
mon, Is 4d to Is 8d for middling to middling brightish
leaf, and is 9d to 2s 5d for superior Hyson kind. Gun-
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 eons they are rather above those of that time. To-
day several parcels of Tea were sold at firm rates ; sound
common Congou, cash, is Rot to be purchased under
I Id per lb.
SPlCES.—lmporters of Cassia Ligneo, lire still anxious
sellers, and have submitted to a reduction on previous
rates of Is to 2s per cwt. Nutmegs have met with more
attention, and full rates paid. Singapore fine bold brown
at 5s 2d, good 3s 8d to 3s 9d, good middling 3s 6d to 3s 7d
middling 3s 4d to 3s sd, low middling 3s, and worm-
eaten 6d to is Id. Mace, Singapore fine bright
at 5s 7d, good 4s 6d to 4s 9d, middling 3s 2d
to 3s 6d, inferior 2s Bd, mouldy is 10d—a very
small part for exportation only was, however, taken in
at Is per lb for low old. Cloves have fallen 2d per lb,
Penang at 2s 5d to 2s 7d for fine bold bright, and 2s to
2s 3d for good. Black Pepper is held for the former
value. Cinnamon 2d to 3d per lb above those of the last
quarterly sale.
RlCE.—lmporters of Bengal are not inclined to sub-
mit to any further decline in prices, and have refrained
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
to 11s, good mid 11s to lls 6d, sea damaged first class
10s 6d to 11s, second and third ditto 7s 6d to 10s, sea

offered.

two lots of very inferior 70/ to 731 10s, and
Headmatter of first quality 901 to 91115 s per tun. Fur
comtnon Fish Oils prices are rather lower than they were
last year at this period, but considerably higher for
Sperm. Linseed Oil is 6d per cwt cheaper, and the sup'
ply is getting large, at 24s 6d to 25s per cwt. This af-
ternoon prices were firmer for Southern Oil, and at pub-
lic sale 381 casks, equal to 300 tuns, were sold at 311 10s
to 32/ 5s ; 40 casks of Sperm Oil sold at 791 to 801 for
American, one lot very low 701, and Headmatter 901 59

Lady Innes, wife of the late and mother of the pre-
sent Sir James lanes, died at Edingight House, Banff'
shire, on Friday last.
THE MOORS.—The accounts from the numerotte
sporting grounds in the county continue to represent the
sport as unusually excellent, notwithstanding that the
weather has not been, as a whole, for the past eight
days, particularly propitious. The quantity of birds
arriving at, and passing through, the city, on their route
to all parts of the compass, is enormous, and almost
beyond precedent.— Perthshire Advertiser.
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 have 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 Igsf
Lodge ; Sir Alexander Duff, and a numerous pal'
is at Corriemulzie ; Mr. Edmunds and Captain gr
hold occupy Glencallader ; Colonel Towers has Crie"'
on the Invercauld West Deer Eorest ; Messrs. Barker,
Fowler, and party the Spittal shootings ; Sir Be
jamin Hall, and Lord Castlereagh and party, Gairnshie)
and Moss of Monaltrie ; Sir F. Sykes and W.O
Corndavon ; Lord Henry Bentinck, Glenavon and Tom
tout shooting ; Sir George Sitwell, Balmoral
de Tabley and Mr. Warburton, Abergeldie ; Messrs'
Lightfoot, Boyd, and party, Glenmuick ; and Sir Fr
Ae
derick Stovin, Deskrieshiel. The birds are describe',
as being not only most abundant, but strong and eleifi
grown. In general, the parties seem to have aversg7
about 40 brace a gun the first day. Sir Benjanw:
Hall has one day since, we believe, bagged 69 britc°.'
while another gentleman of his party shot 40 braee,,
two hours on the hill called the Brown Cow. CaPts:,
Bell, in the Glassault, bagged 68 brace, six white herr
and a roebuck, although not on the ground till late ltif
the day ; while Mr. Boyd (a gentleman upwards
seventy years of age) brought hcane his 50 brace fry:
Glenmuick. All that seems wanted is a return of foe%
able a eather to render this one of the most memoran'
seasons in the annals of grouse shooting.—Aberde'
Journal.
FIRE AT HANDFORD HALL.—Between eight m!
nine o'clock on Thursday evening, a fire broke out °
the Lamb-fair Farm, at Handford Hall, in this tell;
which created extraordinary alarm in the irnraed's
neighbourhood. The premises, which are of great e%
tent, are surrounded by a water-course and pale-fen
The farm servants had left work about an hour when t •
alarm was given. The flames were seen issuing frog!,
large straw-stack which stood in a corner of the ye;
close to the fence, and immediately adjacent there
ree'wl
a range of corn and hay-stacks, forming a ch,,,,
line of communication with the farm-house, Pi
barns, granaries, stables, and other out-houses. „At
large number of persons who were assembled at the P.;
quickly collected, and the engines were brought frte
Ipswich, together with the police and a party !"a
4th Light Dragoons. By zealous and well-reutio
efforts, the flames were prevented from extending t°
je
corn-stacks, which, owing to their position, must ba
inevitably spread destruction over the whole of the P 7,
mises. The straw-stack was, however, wholly c°r
sumed, but the loss is inconsiderable. It has been &seem
tained, from examination, that the fire originated in
fence, a portion of which is charred, close to the s
where the straw-stack was situate. This fact raiseL,a
presumption of wilful design, but as yet no clue has To
obtained to account for the outrage, nor is any Per'.
suspected.—lpswich Express.
