0. P., at 3s 6,1 to 3s 7d per gallon. Nothing done in Foreign.
Tea.—Throughout the week the market has been firm, and a

sold, but the price not transpired, and sonic small parcels at .El 4,
and 20 tons Cuba Fustic at £9 5s per ton. There has been a gobd
demand for Turpentine, the Trade having thought it prudent to
secure addition to their stocks ; upwares of 5000 brls. have been
taken at Ifs fal to Lis; the whole at ifs 9d, except 300 brls., for
which 13s was given ; the excitement which was felt during the
expected arrival of the Boston steamer having subsided, the market
has become duller, and the extreme quotation is now not easily
obtained. A strong disposition to purchase Tar evinced itseif a few
days since, and 2000 brls. of Stockholm were bought at 15s. A
very general inquiry for Pot Ashes has prevailed throughout the
week, and such Parcels of new Montreal as could be found at 30s
were readily taken, but the further purchases were prevented by
holders requiring an advance upon this price, to which buyers
would not conform a few brls. are reported at 31s, but the price
is not obtainable for quantities ; some Quebec have been sold at
2,;s (id. Montreal Pearl Ashes have gone oft' readily at 30s, but
30s 6d has since been given, and there still are buyers at this price.

100 were on speculation, 100 for export, 40 for Ireland, and the
remainder to Manufacturers. Our stock is now large, but prices
are supported. _ _ _

There continues to be a fair demand for Brimstone ; the sales of
the week amount to about 300 tons. No sales are reported in any
description of Sumac. Of Tar and Argols only small sales have
been effected. The demand for Madders and Roots continues dull.
and no sales returned worth reporting. Quercitron Bat kis lower,
and we reduce our quotations accordingly. The demand for Olive
Oil has been limited, but for the few sales made, full quotations
annexed have maintained. Fish Oils are in very limited demand,
and no effect has been produced by the unfavourable accounts from
Davies's Straits ; holders are, however, very firm, and full prices
are paid in the few transactions taking place. Oil of Turpentine
has been inquired for, particularly for forward delivery, but the
Distillers having generally demanded el to £2 per ton advance,
little has been done, and the price is almost nominal. Seed Oils
are dull cf sale; a few tons of Linseed have brought 33s 641
to 345, and pale Rape 575, but the transactions are on a trivial
s ale. Palm Oil.—The sales during the week by private treaty
have been limited to 35 tons for export, but to-day by auction a
cargo of 500 tons off the quay, sold briskly at £3l 15s to £32,

noticed for some time past still continues, but for Jute there has
been a good demand; 350 bales are reported at si6 to £l6 10s,
and 560 bales at £l7 as 6d per ton.
