tinues to find a steady sale, without change in prices worthy of notice.

ceed 20 tuns.—We have no sales to notice in Figh OilS, and prices re-
main
without alteration.—ln Seed Oils the transactions have been
confined principally to pale Rape, which is in good request, at rather
better prices, owing to the large export of Rape Seed to the Conti-
nent, and the consequent advance in price of that article; a small
business has been done in Linseed 011.—The sales of I'alm Oil conti-
nue very trifling, and the price remains steady as-quoted.;-.-Oil of TiuC
