London Market. 



Castor Oil. — There is almost an entire absence of fresh features 

 in the castor oil market. Good seconds Calcutta is still quoted 

 at 3 T V^- to %\d. per lb., and first pressure French can still be 

 bought at 2\±d. to 3^., second pressure 2\d. per lb. In the 

 forward positions the Calcutta market has taken a slightly 

 firmer tone, and French is still maintained at the higher figures 

 recently quoted. 



Chillies. (Sierra Leone) — Forty bags new crop at auction realised 

 45s. per cwt. 



Ipecacuanha. — After the auction last week further business was 

 done in Cartagena description, including grey root at 4^. ^d.
