Tea.—Throughout the week there has been a fair inquiry for
common to good descriptions of Congou, but holders generally are
not inclined to accept present prices.
The public sales of Indigo, consisting of 1033 chests Bengal and
and Oude, I 1 1 scrons Caracca, and 16 serous Guatimala, came on
yesterday, when 540 chests passed the sale, of which 280 found
buyers; the ordinary and middling consuming qualities went much
upon a par with the recent fmmlon sales' prices, while the better
class of consumers and shippers sold at a decline of 3d to 6d per
lb. The sales will be resumed this day. 139 bags Turmeric are
reported at 188; 158 chests East India Gum Arabic at 2.0 s to 545,

to £6 ; 50 tons Cuba Fustic are reported at £9, and, 60 tons Cam-

tine is regular, and previous prices arc fully maintained, 12s 6d
having been obtained for 150 brls. in store. A cargo of 2000 brls.
Stockholm Tar has beers sold at some reduction from the quotations.
There is less animation in the Pot Ash market, and the sales are
not large, but the stock is so much reduced that holders are very
firm, and readily obtained 29s 6d per cwt. ; few, however, will now
sell under 30s. Pearl Ashes are in very limited demand, at 29s lid.
Hides.—Salted River Plate Ox are dull of sale at late prices ; at
the public sales of East India Kips on Tuesday, about 27,000 sold,

parcel of 60 boxes white Bologna, to arrive, 44s per cwt. has been
accepted. Cream of Tartar -remain' neglected. A few casks of

been a fair business done in all descriptions of Madders and Roots ;
but at no alteration in previous rates. Olive Oil has remained in
limited demand, with prices fully supported; holders of Galipoli
are even demanding a further advance on the present quotations.
Fish Oils continue to improve; 30 to 40 tuns Cod have been sold
at .-e26 lOs to 4127, and several small parcels of Seal at £34 per
tun. Seed Oils are steady, and Linseed Oil may be quoted a true
dearer this week. Oil of Turpentine has been sold rather below
495, but the Distillers generally are firm at 50s, which is paid for
small quantities. Palm Oil.—Notwithstanding the moderate price
of this article (as compared with Tallow) brings an additional de-
mand from consumers, yet the price has again rather given way ;
about 150 tons have been sold this week, chiefly at ..t";e2 10s to .e 33,
but part a shade lower, and 200 tons have also been sold to arrive.
Hemp and Flax remain very dull of sale, and prices have a down
ward tendency. The demand for Tallow has aeen very limited ;
new yellow Candle is selling at 49s 6d, and some of last year's
import. but very rine, at 495. About 100 pipes. South American of
fine qualities have been sold during the week a little under former
rates.
