Tea.—At the commencement •of the week the market was very
quiet, but on the arrival of the express from China on the and
instant, bringing accounts of the hostilities having been resumed,
and of our forces having taken poSsession of the Bogue Forts,
considerable excitement took place, and prices improved ad to Sd
per lb, at which advance the market doses very firm.

give way, and the quotations are corrected accordingly.

limited; a public sale of Malaga and Lavant, a few days ago, at-
tracted but little attention, and only the Levant sold, at some re-
duction on previous rates. Fish Oils.—With numerous inquiries
for Seal Oil there are few transactions actually taking place, buyers
seeming still unwilling to give any advance, although the result of
the Newfoundland Fishery is now ascertained to be unfavourable,
the number of Seals taken being fully one-third tens than last year.
