few sales made have been to the grocers at former
prices. In Cocoa, Pimento, and Ginger, nothing
done worthy of notice. Rum sells readily, particu-
larly those suitable for the home trade.
Our Cotton market continued very dull in the
early part of the week, but during the two last days
there has been more demand, and the prices of all
descriptions fully maintain our last quotations.—The

lb. Brimstone has been inquired for, but only a
few small sales have been effected. Saltpetre is still
scarce, and wanted. Valonia remains dull of sale ;

Ayres Cow and Ox at Bid. (being the only lot re-
maining in the importers' hands), and 140 New

An import of 2,860 barrels Turpentine have been

nearly all hard, at Bs. per cwt. from the quay. Tar
is scarce and wanted. The sales of Rosin are about
3,000 brls. principal part taken by the Gas Works

improvement in the demand for Camwood, the sales
latterly have been very considerable, and nearly the
whole has gone into consumption ; the price has
not yet experienced any improvement, owing to the
imports being heavier than usual ; the sales of this
week are about 20 tons, at 121. lfss. for a mixed
parcel, and 10/. 10s. for very inferior. Prime Wood
