bond.—There is very little Rum offering, and the sales are in con-
sequence
too limited to notice.
Several parcels of Bast Indialndigo have changed hands this week,
in all about 90 chests, at 9d per lb advance on the prices of the late
auction sales.—Lac Dye has been in good request, and the business
amounts to nearly 200 chests, at 10d to 2s per lb.—Of Shell Lac, 44
chests are reported at 755; East India Gum Arabic. 30 chests at 29,
to 365, and 20 bags of Stick Lac at 55s per cwt.—The demand for
Saltpetre and Nitrate of Soda continues ; of the former 2600 bags
have been taken at 27s 3d to 28s 61, and 300 bags of the latter at 16s
per cwt.
DYEWOOD.—The sales of Campeachy Logwood have been 70 tons
at £l5, but there is nothing reported in other kinds ; of Fustic, 10
tons of Cuba brought £l3, and 30 of Savanilla £lO ; 20 tons of solid
Nicaragua Wood have been sold at £l2, and 10 of Angola Barwood
at £8 per ton ; there is an improved demand for Camwood, and
sales have been made at advanced rates.—There is very little varia-
tion in the state of the Turpentine market ; the sales are 2000 brls.
at 12s 2d to 12s 3d from the quay, and 200 brls. at 12s 5d per cwt.—
Nothing new in American or Stockholm Tar.—M ontreal Pot Ashes
are 3d to 6d per cwt. lower, but the sales at this reduction have been
rather large, amounting to 500 to 600 brls. at 29s to 29s 3d, and a few
at 29s 6d per cwt. ; some small parcels of Pearl Ashes have brought
35s per cwt.—Nothing done in Quercitron Bark, Cloverseed or Flax-
seed.— Hides—None of the late arrivali have 3et been brought on
the market, and consequently there are no sales to report —There
has been an extensive demand for Tobacco, and the sales amount
to about 450 Mids., of which 200 trils, were taken for re-sale, and
the remainder by the home-trade. The quotations of the low mtd-
tiling descriptions are id per lb higher, and the fine qualities have
realized full prices. _ _ _

B RIM STONE.—There has been less done this week than for some
time past, chiefly because there are no sellers at late prices ; about
250 tons of good seconds sold to-day at £9 17s 6d per ton.—Some
few sales have been made in Sumac at full prices.—Only a moderate
businesshas been done in Argots and Cream ofTartar.—The scarcity
of Madders prevents business being done in them.—Madder Roots
have been sought after, and about 200 bales sold, chiefly at 60s for
Smyrna, with small lots recently at 52s per cwt.—No sales are re-
ported in Valonia.—For Olive Oil there has been an animitted.de-
mand, and large sales have been made, amounting in all to 400 tuns,
including about 100 tuns to arrive ; full prices have been obtained,
and holders are now looking for an advance, which in several in-
stances has been paid.—The arrival of five vessels from Newfound-
land, with about 300 tuns Cod Oil, has caused more business in Fish
Oils than for some time past ;-150 tuns Cod Oil were sold previously
(atithe close of last week) at £.29 lOs to £3O, and a considerable part
of the remainder has since been disposed of at £3O to £3O 10s ;
holders now require an advance of lOs to 20s per tun ; some small
parcels of Halifax Cod sold at £2955; of pale Seal, small sales are
being made at £34 lOs to £3s.—Pale Rape Oil is steady at 455, but
Linseed Oil continues dull of sale, and 28s has been accepted, al-
though few parties are disposed to take so low a price.-1 he busi-
ness in Palm Oil has been extensive, comprising about 800 tons,
chiefly to arrive, at £43 lOs for spring delivery, up to £44 lOs for
part of a cargo now off the coast, and at £44 15s to £45 on the spot.
For Oil of Turpentine rather lower prices have been taken, and our
quotation is barely obtained.—Holders of Petersburgh Hemp are
again asking higher rates, but nothing of moment has been done,
and the prices are for the present almost nominal. There are no
sales reported this week in East India descriptions.—Tallow was
dull of sale at the commencement of the week, but there has since
been more inquiry, and sales of 500 to GOO casks have been effected
at 59s to 60s per cwt. for yellow candle ; the market is now firm at
the latter price.
