very firm.

at 335, 70 boxes Cassia at 90s, 40 bags Cutch at 205, and a few chests

Turpentine market continus firm, and 12s Id to 12s 3d has been
obtained for 1380 brls. of fair Wilmington. No sales reported in
Tar. The demand for Pot Ashes has rather improved several
hundred brls. having been taken by the Trade and for Ireland, at
27s 3d to 27s 6d, but principally at the former price; the brand of
1839 is saleable at 26s 3d. The sales of Pearl Ashes are trifling, at

400 salted Jamaica at 6id to Old per lb. Tobacco.—We continue
to experience a good demand from the Trade, Irish Dealers and
Exporters, and the market presents a very firm appearance. The
sales for the last month reached 1250 hhds., of which 330 were for
Ireland, 240 for export, 50 on speculation, and the remainder to
Manufacturers. The new Virginia leaf is generally good, and an
unusually large portion of fine quality; the stemmed is long and
leafy, but wanting substance, and as yet there is little or none
fine.
The price of Brimstone has declined this week, in consequence
of the Sulphur Company having reduced their selling prices 20s per
ton; the principal business done was at the sale of 310 tons of
damaged, which went at £9 125 6d to .elO 17s 6d per ton. The
corrected quotations may now be considered as the selling prices.
Small sales only are reported in any description of Sumac. all
sorts of Tartar have been rather dull of sale, and for Argots there
has been only a limited demand. A few bales of Persian yellow
Berries sold at Xl5 to £lB per cwt. There are no sales of Madder
or Roots reported this week. 25 hhds. Quercitron Bark have been
sold at 125 6d to 148 per cwt., according to quality, and about 350
bags East India Linseed, but the price hes not transpired. There
has been a fair demand for Olive Oil, considering the advanced
rates which have been established; the sales of the week have
reached about 50 tuns, and all at very full prices. In Fish Oils
some sales of parcels from the ship side have taken place, chiefly
of coloured Seal, at low rates ; a few tuns of pale Seal brought
£29 lOs to £3O, and about 20 tuns Cod £27 lb per tun. Rape and
Linseed Oils are in limited demand, but without alteration in prices
Oil of Turpentine continues depressed ; a few sales have been made
at 525 to 52s 6d, which is a further reduction ; for forward delivery,
however, inquiries continue, and no sellers can be found at present
rates. Palm Oil has been sold rather lower, .e3B 5s having been
accepted; the sales of the week amount to about 200 tons no
transactions are reported for arrival. Sales of Petersburgh clean
Hemp have again been effected at £43, which price is refused by
some holders : 50 bales of Sunn Hemp brought £2O, 60 bales
Bombay £l9, and 330 bales Jute £l4 155 to el 5 per ton. For Flax
