1500 brls. were in store.—ln American Tar no business has occurred,
except 300 brls. of small size sold at Bs. 6d., which is no criterion

sales have amounted to about 300 tons, at full prices.—Sumac has
been in limited demand.—For Argols there has been little inquiry,
and for Cream of Tartar and Brown Tartar the demand has been
limited.—No sales worthy of notice have been made in Madders or
Madder Roots.—There continues to be a steady sale for Olive Oil,
With great firmness on the part of holders, who have, in some in-
stances, obtained an advance of 10s. to 20s. per tun on the better
descriptions, and are now little disposed to sell without a further
advance; the sales of the week have been about 100 tuns, chiefly
Galipoli and Trieste.—Some further arrivals of Seal Oil have been
received, and about 100 tuns have been disposed of, at .4'28 15s. for
pale, and proportionate rates for coloured; some small parcels of

exclusively to small sales, at about our quotations; in quantity it

a limited supply coming forward; 220 bales of Jute have been sold
at £ 11, --Fine Flax is inquired for.—At the close of last week the
Tallow market further declined, but has since become firm at 6d. to
