of Coffee, but by private contract there was a much better
demand for all descriptions subject to the 6d duty,
Sir Robert Peel having stated that he intends to
adhere to the plan proposed by him—viz., to admit Coffee, the
produce of British possessions, at 4d per lb. Ceylon met with a
brisk demand, and has advanced 3s to 4s per cwt ; sales of good
ordinary were made at 79s to 80s, and fine ordinary 82s to
86s per cwt ; in British plantation large purchases were pre-
vented, oaring to the want of a supply, and the small parcels
offering were disposed of at an advance corresponding
with that of Ceylon. Foreign and Cape Coffee have met will
a dull demand, in consequence of Sir Robert Peel stating that
he cannot alter his original project as regards the duty, which
ho proposes to be 8d per Ib ; prices for these sorts of Coffee
have become nominal.
