of Barhadoes; the transactions amount to 1000 hhds 8.P., without
material change in price. For Bengal there is a continued good de-
mand, and 50e0 bags sold, at 112 s 6d to 63s 6d for low, 64s to 6,;s for

sow at 18s to 19s 91 per.cwt. in bond for good to very line.—The
inquiry for Rum continues, but the stock is so much reduced, that
the sales are not worthy of notice.
There is nothing whatever to report in Indigo this week.—Seve-
ral public sales of East India Drysaltery articles have been brought
forward, but no disposition to buy being evinced, nearly all the
goods were withdrawn.—About 20 chests Shell Lac have been sold

of which 300 hhds were Virginia and Kentucky stemmed, and taken
by the home-trade, and 130 birds Kentucky leaf were taken fur ex-
port and re-sale. The market has been influenced by the unfavour-
able accounts of the growing crop, received by the "UreatW es tern,"
and rather higher prices have been obtained.
The market for Brimstone has continued all week in a quiet
state, and there has been scarcely a single transaction to report
worth noti. e.—Sales in Sumac have been to a limited extent, at pre-
vious prices.—Cream of Tartar has been ne,rlected ; brown Tartar
