In the following week the market was so depressed, that only one public sale was brought forward; the result was, however, more favourable, as the demand was improving; and the Jamaica sold at an advance of 2s. to 3s. per cwt. Another public sale on the 14th was equally satisfactory; but the sales after Tuesday went off heavily at a further reduction of 25. to 3s. per cwt.; good ordinary St. Domingo sold 72s. a 73s.; ordinary 70s. a 71s. There were no public sales of coffee this forenoon, owing, we believe, to the very low prices inducing the holders to refrain from bringing coffee forward for the present. There have been few purchases by private contract; the market may in consequence be stated steady, at the reduction we have mentioned; it must, however, be stated that the inquiries to-day have been general, and will probably lead to a revival of the trade. Tallow.-There have been great fluctuations, the rising of the prices in Russia, advancing the market, while the favourable result of the whale fisheries tends to damp the trade. The market is, at present, very heavy, and trade dull, at the reduced prices of 38s. to 37s. 6d. Hemp and flax dull, and little doing. Oils. The prices of whale oil have been much depressed by the unprecedented success of the Davies Straits Fishery: the produce, it is estimated, will exceed any previous year; the united fisheries of Greenland and Davies Straits will yield, it is stated, 20,000 tuns of oil; whale oil is more in demand for immediate consumption than it has been; small parcels 197. 10s. but for future delivery 19. and heavy at that price.

The company's sale (5000 chests) on the 7th, and following days, commenced at a reduction of 6d. to 1s. per lb. on the prices of the preceding sale; but they improved on each succeeding day, so as to become equal to the prices of the latter end of the last sale.
