chiefly fine white, at 71s per cwt. Foreign.-360 cases of Bahia

reported at 265, and a lot of La Guayra, in bags, at 24s per cwt.

descriptions have been quite unimportant, and without change in
price. Nothing done in Cocoa, Ginger or Pimento, and only a

now more firm. Pearl Ashes are of very limited sale, the buyers
taking trifling parcels only, and holders have submitted to some
little reduction in price. Hides.—The market continues steady,
