hhds 4s id, puns 3s lid ; llenney's of the same
vintage, hhds 3s I Id, puns 3s 9d ; 1841, hhds 3s 10c1,
puns 3s Sd per gallon. The home trade have been the
principal operators : opinion is more in favour of the
article. In Geneva a fair business has been transacted at
Is 9d to is 10d for common shipping sort. British Corn
Spirits in good request at 9s 8d to 9s 9d per gallon, cash.
The demand for Rum continues very dull, and prices
have again given way Id to 2d per gallon, with a desire on
the part of the holders to realize. The transactions of
the week are about 200 puns Jamaica, 28 to 33 overproof at
3s to 3s 3d, and 34 to 36 over at 3s 4d to 3s 6d, about 180
puns Leewards proof at Is 9d ; 50 hhds Calcuttn at the
low duty, proof at is sd, and 50 bales at the high duty
at is 3d per gallon ; there are still sellers of proof Lee-
wards at is Od, but it is difficult to find a buyer above
Is Sd per gallon, which price is reported to have been
accepted in one or two instances. No arrivals of Rum
this week.

PROVISIONS.—There has been only a limited business
transacted in the Irish Butter market since we last
wrote, and lower rates have been accepted. Carlow, on
board, 83s to 935, "Waterford 80s to S3s, Carrick 86s to
88s, Limerick 76s to 78s : landed, Carlow 86s to 945,
Waterford 81s to 84s, Carrick 87s to 89*, and Limerick

77s to 79s per cwt. For Foreign prices have further
declined ; Friezland at 102 s to 104 s, and Kiel 94s to
100 s per cwt. Bacon firm ; prime new Waterford
landed at 55s to 58s, mid and low 44s to 50s, new Wa-

ber, and January, 48s for February, March, and April ;

vember to May. In Middles prices have improved.
Hams of fine quality at 70s to 80s. Bladdered Lard at
68s to 70s for the best, landed.
TALLOW.—The market for Russian has presented a
lively appearance since our last report, and prices have
advanced 3d per cwt. The demand on the spot has been
brish both from soap makers and chandlers ; new P. Y.
Candle has been selling at 4f3s 6d to 48s 9d,
and old at 48s per cwt. For delivery large pur-
chases have been made at 48s 6(1 for the last
two months, and at 48s 6d to 48s 9d fur spring, at which
rates merchants are firm, as the shipments from St.
Petersburgh are small in Comparison with those of
former years. Town Tallow has been in good request
at 50s to 50s 6d nett cash. In South American several
purchases have been made at 48s to 48s for low to fine
quality.
This afternoon the market closed firmly at 48s 6d to
48s 9d on the spot, with a steady business doing. A
parcel of South American at public sale went off
.with
spirit at 41s to 41s 9d per cwt.
44,0ms.—The demand for common Fish Oils has not
been quite so animated this week, and but few transac-
tions have taken place ; the holders, however, have re-
mained firm, and the advanced quotations of last week
are fully sustained, with a very small quantity on offer
of any kind. Sperm Oil has gone off in small
quantities only, but former prices have been sustained.
sustained. Linseed Oil has sold steadily at 34s on the
spot, and at 32s 6d for delivery onward to the end of
the year. Fur Rape Oil a fair demand has existed, and
rather advanced prices have been paid, 44s 6d is now
the value of refined. Palm Oil is dull of sale, and fine
quality is offered at 30s, per cwt. Fine Ccyloa Cscoa
Nut Oil has been sold at 39s to 39s 6d per cwt.
This afternoon 160 tuns Sperm Oil and Headtnatter
were offered by public sale, and partly disposed of—
Sperm at 761 15s to 801 15s, and Headmatter at 8315 s to
841 5s per tun.
INDIGO.—In consequence of the near approach of the
quarterly sates, which commence on Tuesday next, the
market has been very quiet, scarcely a sale having been
made either for export or home use, the holders are
however firm, and the late advanced prices are fully
maintained. The quantity to be offered at the forth-
coming sales, presented a very good assortment.
