The Sun. — 1846-07-01 (London, England)

SPIRITL—For Calcutta Rum the demand has increased, but no further advance in price has taken place; the sales amount to 260 hhds at Is lld to is I lld proof with certificate, but chiefly at the former rate. To-day Leeward Island Rum was in demand, and the parcels sold were at 2s 3J per gallon proof strength. RlCE.—To•day the demand was active for Bengal Rice, and 3,934 bags 740 pockets at public sale all sold at very full rates. 1,866 bags Madras went at full rates.  TALLOw.—Russian is little wanted, and prices are still on the decline, 473 6d to 42s per cwt having been accepted for small parcels of fine Petersburgh Y-11ow Candle, duty paid, but soap-makers and chandlers only take sufficient for their immediate wants. Although there are sellers for forward delivery upon lower terms, still the business transacted was extremely limited, and 40s 6d to 41s are the rates accepted in bond for the last three months of the year. Town Tallow has been in excellent request in consequence of the moderate rate of 39s having been accepted nett cash, but there is still a large supply. Australian has been sparingly dealt in at 38s to 41s for good and fine, and at 34s to 37s for low to middling quality. American is dull of sale at 32s to 41s per cwt for low to fine sorts. None has again been offered at public sale, and at present none is announced. The stock of Foreign and Colonial is still less than it was last year, but prices are higher, and the deliveries are going on slowly. OlLS.—lmporters of Seal Oil have been desirous to realise in consequence of there having been several arrivals since this day week; still, although they submit to a reduction of lOs to 20s per tun, yet the home trade and exporters have purchased with caution. Southern being still plentiful, prices continue to go down, but a good demand has existed for all qualities for home consumption as well as for exportation. Cod has been sparingly dealt in, and prices are drooping, 281. having been taken. The stock has been increased since our last report. Sperm has met with little attention privately, and prices are on the decline, the market having again been well supplied. American Lard Oil has been purchased with caution, Rapeseed Oil is little wanted, the supply is large, and prices are still declining. In Olive there has been little passing, and there are further arrivals. Palm has been in excellent request, and prices are firm. The market is still sparingly supplied, although there are further arrivals. Cocoa Nut is wanted, but there is not much to be had. Linseed Oil has not improved in value, but the home trade operated largely on the spot. The market is better supplied with Oil, but the consumption does not fad off. Prices are much under those of this period in 1845, and the crushers are obtaining but small profits. On Friday 75 tuns of Southern wfll be offered at auction. There were no sellers of Seal Oil this afternoon in consequence of the calamitous fire at Newfoundland, which destroyed property to an im.• memo amount.
