descriptions of B. P., with which the market is very barely supplied,
and the sales are 450 hhds., at rather higher prices. Bengal con-

of Caraccas at 5s per lb in bond. A small sale of Shell Lac is re-
ported at 42s to 47s ; Tincal at 46s ; and Gum Arabic at 445. 600

Nitrate of Soda have been taken at 21s 3d to 21s 6d per cwt.

Dyewoods.—There are no sales to notice this week in any des-
criptions. The demand for Turpentine is rather langiiid, and for
1100 brls. of middling quality 12s 6cl has been accepted. In Tar
no sales. Montreal Pot Ashes are rather lower, and there are
sellers at 29s 6d. Pearls exceedingly dull. Hides.—The market
continues very dull, and the only sales reported are 600 dry salted
Pernambuco at 4ad, with 289 dry at 54a, and 3000 good .dry salted
East India Kips, at lOid for sound, nd for lst rubbed,And 6d per

sales reach 400 hhds., of which about SO were leaf for Ireland, 40
for exportation, and nearly 150 of different kinds on speculation.
All kinds arc very firm, and in some cases a little higher.
The business done in Brimstoue has agaia been on a limited
scale, without change in prices. Nothing worthy of Notice has
been done in Sumac, Argols or Cream of Tartar. Of Persian
Berries, 43 bales have been sold at preVious prices. Madders and
Roots continue in moderate demand. No sales in quercitron Bark.
For Olive Oil there has been rather more inquiry than for some
weeks past, and stocks being very small, extreme prices continue to
be maintained for the small sales which have been effected. A dull
market still prevails for all kinds of Fish Oils ; the business is con-
fined to small transactions, chiefly amongst the Dealers, and prices
are rather lower. Pale Rape Oil has been less sought after, but the
Price is steady. Linseed Oil has attraeted some attention for
forward delivery, hut there are very few sellers, and, on the spot,
last week's prices would hardly now be accepted. Oil of Tupentine
has been sold, in some instances, a shade under the annexed quota-
tion but a fair extent of business has been done at 555, the de-
mand having improved. Palm Oil has again receded a little ; but
the reduction 'has brought an improved demand. and nearly 300
tons have been sold this week, at £32 Its to .433 per ton ; 100 tons
were also sold for future delivery, at a lower rate, but by a
speculator, in anticipaton of lower prices, and the sale cannot be
taken as an accurate criterion of the state of the market. In Hemp
And Flax the sales have been unimportant; prices without altera-
tion. Tallow continues dull of sale, and limited transactions only
take place in in. yellow Candle, at about 48s; 100 pipes South
American have been sold at 38s to 43s and 3d, being a decline of
Is 6d per cwt.
