rather under those of this day week, still the purchases

prices differ little from those of last year. Yellow

upon a small scale only, and the sound of 1,088
chests at public sale was taken in at the full value.

900 boxes of the sound have been sold at 20s 6d to
21s 6d. The market is in a quiet state for white.

Ceylon, 295 bags of Singapore Java, 229 casks and 123

this week, and only a small amount of business has
been transacted by private treaty. There was not
much spirit in the biddings at the public sales which
commenced yesterday, and finished this afternoon. Pro-
prietors however manifested firmness, and bought in
several parcels at stiff rates. Of the quantity offered,
amounting to 18,041 packages, 5,450 were disposed of at
previous rates excepting for Hyson and Gunpowder,

Russ, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-Ifolders of Leeward
Island Rum are not inclined to submit to any further de-
cline in prices, but the business transacted this week has
been to a small extent only at 2s 3id to 2s 4d proof
strength. The market is in a very dull state for Jamaica,
and the tendency of prices is downwards ; 28 to 34 per
cent. 0. P. is. 3s 7d to 3s 11d, superior 4s to 6s ;
there are several parcels on offer. Prices are still on
the decline for Calcutta, and sales for arrival have been
made at 2c to 2s Id per gallon, proof, with certificate,
and at 2s 2d to 2s 2id here. Demerara has been taken
sparingly, strong descriptions at 3s to 3s 5d per gallon.
The stock of East India is 2,100 casks, and of West India
2,200 casks less than it was in 1843 at this time. In the
best sorts of Brandy there has been a good deal doing at
firm rates, but for common and mid kinds there are not
many purchasers.
SescEs.-This afternoon Cloves met with little atten-
tion, and 53 chests of Penang at public sale were only
partly disposed of at a decline on former rates of Id to
2d, good bright bold selling at 2s, and rather dark bold
Is 10d ; of Mace 24 chests of Penang were sold at a Be-
eline of 2d, making the fall for the week 8d ;

3s ; 21 bags of Pimento at public sale were sold at 42
for mid quality.
MOLASSES.-West India are fetching previous rates,
and merchants show firmness ; but there has been only
a limited business transacted. Antigua has been fetching
24; to 243 6d per cwt ; there are purchasers of the lower
descriptions to some extent at a decline on previous rates
of 6d per cwt. East India are still fetching former prices.
Cocoa.-West India has met with ready purchasers,
and the parcels of Trinidad disposed of privately have
been at stiff rates ; the supply of good and fine kinds is
not ample for the demand-the public sales of 185 bags
of Grenada went briskly, good red at 465, middling
42s 6d, and common at 41s per cwt. Foreign from 303
to 34; per cwt. Cocoa Shells at 15s to 16s per cwt.

gal since this day week, and in consequence of the scanty
supply at market buyers have paid a further advance in
prices low white fetching lls to lls 3d, middling 11s Gil
to 12s, and superior sorts 12; 3d to 12s Gd per cwt.
Madras ha; met with more attention ; 684 bags at
auction fetched 8s to 83 Gd for good yellow, 8s to 8s 6(1
for sea damaged first class, and 7s 61 per cwt for second
class. The low sorts of Java are in request at previous
rates. Cleaned Rico at 14; to 183 for Patna, and 23; to
27; pur cwt •for Carolina.
Isnsuo.-The dulness in the market for East India
has increased, and so limited has been the business trans-
acted for shipping and home consumption this week,
that it is difficult to quote prices with accuracy; indeed,
they are little better than nominal. In Spanish there
has been very little business transacted, and if parcels
were to be pressed fur sale a decline in prices would be
the result. The quarterly sale of East India has been
fixed for the 21st of January ; already 3,306 chests
are advertised.
FRUIT.-Tho market has become rather quiet, and the
demand this season for the new Fruit up to the present
time has been unprecedently large. Prices remain firm,

7-chest at 34..

Ou.s.—There has been a failing oil in the demand for
all descriptions of common Fish Oils this week, and only
a limited business has been transacted ; Southern is also
fetching full rates,.29l to 341 being obtained for common
to fine quality, but for other sorts prices are going down ;
Pale Seal selling at 34/ to 34/ ss, and Cod at 31/ to 311
lOs per tun. The market is in a very dull state for Sperm.

cwt. This afternoon there were six public sales of Tal-
low, and the following are the results : 100 casks of
East India went at 404 6cl to 40s 9d ; 528 casks new

To THE LADIES.—The high and universal cele-
brity which ROWLAND'S RALTDOR continues to main-
tain, as an active yet mild and soothing extirpator of all
impurities of the skin, is, during the present period most
pleasingly evinced. This preparation eminently balsamic,
restoraCce, and invigorating, is equally celebrated fur
safety iu application, as for unfailing efficacy in remov..
ing all impurities and discolorations ; and imparting a
healthy freshness to the skin and complexion. Its uni-
versally groat demand excites the cupidity of unprin-
cipled Shopkeepers, who give the title of " Genuine"
KALYDOR to some compounds of their own manufacture,
of the most deleterious character, containing mineral
a,tringents utterly ruinous to the complexion, and, by
their repellant action endangering health. It is, there-
fore, imperative on purchasers to 'see that the words
" ROWLAND'S KALTDOR" are on the wrapper. All others
are FRAUDULENT COUNTERTKITS 1 1
