chiefly Demerara, at 25s to 25s 6d, with a few puns of Antigua, at
26s 6d per cwt.—Coffee. The market for Plantation is well sup-
ported ; the quantity on sale is moderate, and consequently the
sales are limited, amounting to 60 casks Jamaica and 50 brls of
Trinidad. Of Foreign, 180 bags of fine ordinary La Guayra sold at
488 per cwt.-600 bags and pockets of East India sold at 20s 9d to

are about 6000 bags, at 13s 6d to 14s 3d per cwt.

several parcels have changed hands at full prices ; the total sales
amount to 1000 tons, and holders have now become unwilling to
sell without an advance.—Sicily Sumac has been in limited request,
and of Trieste and Verona the sales are confined to small parcels
at the quoted prices.—Argols and Cream of Tartar have been only
partially inquired for.—There has appeared some disposition to
purchase the finer qualities of Madders, whilst the inferior con-
tinue neglected.—A partial inquiry has been made for Madder
Roots, but no sales have occurred worth notice.—Of Persian Ber-
ries, 50 bags were taken at about previous rates.—Olive Oil has been

tionate prices for the coloured Oil ; a few tuns pale Southern Oil
have also been sold at £2B 7s 6d to £29 ; in Cod nothing of moment
has been done.—A brisk demand appeared early in the week for

no sellers under 44s per cwt ; Linseed Oil has also been in better
demand, but without any improvement in price.—The Soap-trade
having exhausted their stocks of Palm Oil, have again come freely

advance of £2 per ton has been realized ; the total sales of the
week are about 600 tons.—Oil of Turpentine is offering lower, with
a limited demand.—Hemp continues in fair request, at the prices
quoted.—We have experienced an improved demand for Tallow,
