considerably-increased for low goods, and some ex-
tensive business has been done; the greater part of
the goods ready for shipment having been taken out
of the market, at abeut 6d. to Is. higher prices titan
couldlpive been obtained last week; the buyers of
crashed for the Mediterranean also have been pur-

tinue to take off the fine sorts friely at full prices.

FRUIT.—The undermentioned descriptions of new
Fruit were yesterday and to-day offered by public
sale, viz.-12,365- drums Pulled Turkey Figs, part
of which only were sold at 50s. for large drums, and
565. to 595. for small ; 700 small drums Sultana
Raisins sold ut 70s. ; 400 drums Red Smyrna Rai-
sins of an inferior quality sold from 455. to 465., and
62 brls. Carabourna Raisins at 50s. ' • 560 boxes, 260
half, and 760 quarter boxes Muscatel Raisins (bunch),
and 20 quarter brls. Jordan Almonds, were all bought
in at high prices. A parcel of new Currants from
Cephalonia has been sold privately under the lowest
quotation. New Denia Raisins maintain their prices ;
but new Valentias have been sold at 2s. less than the
quotations of last week. The arrivals of every- de-
scription of new Fruit continue very extensive; and
being much earlier than usual, and the importers
each sheaving an anxiety to effect sales, has created
an unusual bustle in the market at this period.
Corrotis.—The deniand for Surats is regular,
and the public sales have realized full prices. The
Company's declaration of 3,975 bales of Cotton
Wool for the 21st Nor., has rather diminished the
demand.
BALTIC PRODUCE—TaIIow is firm at 395. The
accounts from St. Petersburgh to the 14th instant,
state, that 136,400 casks had been shipped off. The
price was 98 to 100 rubles.--Exchange,
SPICES.—The demand for Pepper continues at
the late advances, but not much has been done this
week. The public sales have gone off briskly.
Cassia Lignea from 88s. 6d. to 935. 6d. Malabar
Ginger, 17s. to 17s. 6d.

Rum.--Although the transactions in this market
are not extensive, the prices continue steady.
SALTPETkE.—The demand is languid, and prices
shew a tendency to fall ; not much is expected to
be done till the East India Company's sale is over.
SlLK.—Since the conclusion of the Silk sale a
fair quantity of business has been done. The stock
of Silk in the Company's possession for future sale
is upwards of 5,300 bales, so that it is probable the
next declaration will be longer than the last.
INDIGO.--The sale concluded yesterday, and up
to its close nearly maintained the advance already
noticed. Very few lots were refused. The de-
mand for the Continental markets is brisk, and the
sale prices seem to be fully maintained. The total
exports from Calcutta, up to the date of the last ad-
vices were 136,760 maunds, of which 102,103
maunds were for this country.
In Hops there is no alteration ; the amount of
duty is not yet ascertained:
Fnurrs.—Some large parcels of new Fruits have
been brought forward, including 12,365 drums of
new pulled Turkey Figs, .544 drums of flat ditto,
.560 boxes -of Muscatel Raisins, 1,020 half and
quarter ditto,- 400 drums of new Smyrna. The ma-
jor part of these Fruits were sold; the Turkey Figs
at from 375.. tti 485., Muscatel Raisins at 1055. to
1405., Sultana Raisins at 705., Red Smyrna 455.
to 465. per cwt. It may be interesting to, notice,
that a small quantity of 'the Fruit sale 'were lying at
,tie St. Katharine Docks, and is the first species of

goods landed there which has been publicly, brought
forward for sale.
