to quality, and a few at 121; the market Is now very firm.—Mon-
treal Pot Ashes have been very generally inquired for to-day, and
29s has been given for new Pot, and 33s 6d for new Pearls ; no
sellers now of new Ashes under these prices ; the quantity sold of
both descriptions is 300 to 400 brls.—Quercitron Bark is in good

being confined to 4642 salted Monte Video, at 44d to Old for Ox,
and Old for Cow.—There has been again an extensive demand for
Tobacco, and the sales amount to about 560 hhds ; of these 150 hhds
were taken for re-sale, 70 to 80 hhds for Ireland, and the remainder
by the home-trade ; prices have advanced Id to Id per lb since the
commencement of the month.
There has been more disposition on the part of consumers to pur-
chase Brimstone, and the total sales of the week, including a parcel
taken for export, have been about 600 tons, in some instances at
rather lower prices for the common qualities.—Sumac has been in
fair request, without change in prices worthy of notice.—Some few
small lots of Cream of Tartar have found buyers at 63s to 64s per
cwt for fine quality; brown Tartar is wanted.—Argols of good
quality, both white and red, go off steadily, at full prices.—The
market for Madder Roots has assumed a firm appearance, and

a public sale of 80 casks old Dutch, much crusted, went off with
some spirit at comparatively high rates.—Some parcels of good
Persian Berries have brought £l2 10s, and few of this sort now re-

—The arrival of the Bon accord at Aberdeen from Davis's Straits,
bringing a favourable report of the Fishery to the Bth August,
having left the ice on the 26th, has caused 'ish Oils to be m ore
dull of sale ; but from the small number of vessels employed this
season in the Fishery, the quantity of Oil produced can scarcely
have much effect upon the market.—Seed Oils have been little in-
quired for, and Linseed i, offered at rather lower rates.—Oil of
Turpentine continues in very limited request.—The business in
Palm Oil has been extensive ; the total sales on the spot and to ar-
rive being about 750 tons, at £43 5s to £44 for the former, but prin-
cipally at £43 10s, and for the latter £43 per ton,—Hemp meets a
ready sale at the quotations ; 700 to 800 bales Jute have been sold

some transactions in Tallow took place at rather better prices; the
market has since been less animate& but prices remain steady ; a
parcel of Buenos Ayres has brought Ols per cwt.
