middling 48s 6d to 50s 6d, and low 47s to 48s per cwt.
REFINED—To-day Refined goods were purchased with in-
creased freedom by the home trade, and the market was nearly
cleared at stiffer rates, brown grocery lumps fetching 66s to 675,
and standard lumps 67s 6d to 68s per cwt. Of Crushed Sugar
made here under bond, there is none to be had on the spot.

previously established have been fully supported ; indeed, in
some cases 6d per cwt advance has been obtained. At public
sale 11,473 bags and 200 casks were. all sold.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon 1,362 bags of Bengal Sugar,
all Ballykhal, were offered at public sale, and chiefly sold at
very full rates, good grainy damp yellow fetching 535, good

bags at auction fetched 2id to 3d per lb.
FOREIGN. —This afternoon the first parcel of Zanizbar or
African Sugar, amounting to 524 bags, was submitted to pub-
lic competition ; but being the produce of slave labour, and
consequently subject to the high duty of 63s per cwt, it could
not be taken for home consumption.
COFFEE.—This afternoon Jamaica Coffee was purchased
with more freedom, and 56 casks 16 barrels at public sale sold
at firm rates. Of Zanzibar, subject to the 6d per lb duty,
20 bales were offered, and sold as follows :—Common pale

bags Rio brought 29s 6d to 30s for ordinary, and 27s 6d to 29s
for sea damaged first and second class. In Ceylon more busi-
ness was transacted privately, but not at better prices.
CINNAMON.—The demand was very limited for inferior,
coarse and jungle descriptions at the quarterly sales, which
finished this afternoon, although there was a desire generally
on the parts of the merchants to realise, and they submitted to
a decline on the rates of the last quarterly sales of 2d to 4d,
and oceasiot.ally of 5d to 6d per lb.
RICE.—To-day Bengal was in excellent request, and several
parcels were disposed of by private treaty at lls6d to 13s. At
public sale 1,001 bags fetched very full rates. Foreign East
India is wanted, but there is little to be had, and Madras is
worth 103 to lis per cwt. For cleaned Rice prices are fully
as high.
SALTPETRE.—To-day two parcels of Calcutta, amounting
to 2,092 bags were offered at public sale, and a part only sold
at a decline on last week's rates of 3d to 6d per cwt.
TEA.—To-day there was a brisk demand for Poucliong, and
several parcels were sold at 9d per lb. for clean quality—the supply
has become small. Congou of common and good ordinary
quality met with a better demand at 9d to 10d per lb., but in
the better kinds little business was done.

SvxasTs.—Jamaica Rum has been in good request, anti
prices continue on the rise for good and fine qualities, whilst
inferior and middling kinds fully sustained the previous value.
Leeward Island Rum has met with a ready sale at previous
rates. Demerara is wanted, and some parcels have been sold
at firm prices. Calcutta is held with firmness. Brandy has
met with little attention, and the stock being large, prices are
still drooping.

Hoes.L-The market is in a dull state for all descriptions,
and prices continue on the decline, indeed, it is difficult to
give accurate quotations. The duty for the Kingdom is esti-
mated at 200,0001. to 210,0001. It is calculated that 50,000
acres are in cultivation this year.
OILS.—For Southern rather lower rates have been ac-
cepted, which has occasioned the demand to be good. For
Seal a further decline in prices has occurred. Cod Oil is dull
of sale at former rates. Sperm has met with little attention,
but no further decline in the value occurred. In Lard Oil
business is checked by the stiff rates. Linseed Oil has been in
request, and prices are firmer ; for forward delivery a good deal
has been done at similar rates. Rape Oil is little wanted. For
Olive Oil prices rule low. In Cocoa Nut sales to a fair extent
made at 271 to 291 per tun for common to fine quality. Prices
keep up for Palm, and the demand has been good.
TALLOW.—There has been a brisker demand for Russian on
the spot, and prices have ruled firm. In the value of other
kinds little variation has taken place, but the supply is less
than it was ; at public sale 205 casks of New South Wales
were sold at 39s to 40s far fine, 34s to 48s for low to good
quality, and 200 casks of South America at &is 9d to 38s 3d
for fair to fine. Town has qeen in excellent request at 39s to
39s 6d per cwt, net cash.
