great proportion for the home consumption, the Brazil

on speculation.

of the public sale : thefe was no alteration in the prices
by private contract.—The grocers continue to be the

off with great heaviness, but no reduction iu the vices
can be stated.—tienerally the market since our lastwxy
be stated heavy, and the biddings at public sale languid.
yet no reduction in the prices can be quoted, except the
middling and good middling qualities, which are fully
2s. a 3s. lower than on Tnesday last.
