tinues to be obtained currently for the new imports. Pearl Ashes
are dull, and the sales trifling. Hides.—The business in salted

the holders disposed to meet the buyers at the annexed quotations,
as in quality. No sales have been reported in Sumac. A limited
demand exists for Argols, Cream of Tartar and brown Tartar. A
cargo of good Valonia has been sold at .el 5 10s. being a decline
from previous nominal prices. Some few parcels of Turkey Galls
have found buyers at previous rates. The demand for Madder and
Roots is moderate, and we have no change to notice in prices.

few bales Turkey Roots at 535. There has been a fair business
done in Bark. and 200 casks sold at 12s gd for New York, and 1324 6d

request this week, but for the few sales made full prices have been
obtained. All descriptions of Fish Oils have continued in a most
limited demand, although holders are disposed to accept lower
prices, in order to effect sales ; a few tuns pale Seal of last year's
import were sold at -e3O los, which is the only business reported.
Seed Oils there is little to remark ; Linseed has been sold lower,
but the Crushers still refuse to accept present rates. Oil of Turpen-
tine has been more in request, and 52s freely paid ; 53s is now
generally demanded. Palm Oil has again declined; the sales of
the week amount to nearly 200 tons, at a reduction generally of lOs
