A few chests of Bengal Indigo are reported at 1:s 10 per lb; for 42
serous Guatimala brought to auction there was a good competition,
and high prices were consequently obtained; the whole, excepting

for new Montreal Pot Ashes has been trifling, but 100 brls. of the
brand of 1838 have been sold at 28s per cwt. Pearl Ashes are
neglected. Hides.—There is very little demand, and the sales are
confined to a few salted Monte Video-Ox at the close of last week

are steady ; the sales this week are 360 Mids., of which 110 were

facturers.

The market for Brimstone continues in a dormant state; small
sales, with barely sustained prices, and large stocks on hand. Few
sales bave been made in Sumac, Argols or Tartar. For 25 casks
good flag Annatto offered at auction, there were no bidders. There
have been some transactions in Madders and Roots at the quota-
tions. but too trifling to notice. Olive Oil, from its extreme scarcity,
is held for much higher rates, and the stock of common deicrip-
lions being now all in the hands of dealers, a general advance of
30s to 405 per tun may be quoted this week, with every prospect of
still higher prices, as the stocks become further diminished. About
70 tons Cod Oil have been sold at ..t'2o lOs off the quay ; small lots
of pale, and a few tuns of coloured Seal, at fully previous rates,
and about 25 tuns boiled Seal Oil and Blubber, at some advance.
Pale Rape Oil continues steady, and a further advance generally
required; but Linseed Oil is less saleable, and the improvement
noticed last week is hardly maintained Oil of Turpentine has
been much inquired for, but the advanced prices demanded have
limited the transactions; 55s has, however, been realized. Palm
Oil.—in the early part of the week two or three trilling sales were
made at about ..t-35 10s, but the arrival since of two cargoes
(together, about 1100 tons) has checked even the former limited
demand, and there are no transactions of any moment to report.
10 tons Petersburg clean Hemp are reported at £4O, 750 bales of
Jute at £l4 to £l4 ss, and 70 bales of
.Satin Hemp at ..elB 12s 6d
to £l9 per ton. A much less demand has been experienced this
week for Tallow; small sales of 'Petersburg yellow Candle have
realized 495, but 48s 6d has been accepted, and the market to.day
is very dull.
