alteration. Palm Oil.—The market is in a very unsettled state;
110 tons have been sold, chiefly in the early part of the week, at
from £37 down to £36 lOs per ton, but the quotations are for the
present almost nominal. In Hemp and Flax no business of im-
portance has transpired, and the market has assumed a dull ap-
pearance. Tallow.—A limited business was done in the first few
days of the week at 53s to 535 6d for yellow Candle; but the con-
tinued unfavourable accounts since received from London have
nearly suspended transactions, and the annexed quotations, which
are reduced is per cwt., must .be considered little more than
nominal.
