During last week 554 trucks arrived at King’s Cross, and 561 
were emptied; 62 arrived this morning, and the stock is now 
down to 337. Prices upon the week’s sale show an upward ten¬ 
dency, a rise of 5s. per ton, for good samples, having taken place. 
For common stuff trade is quiet? Very best samples are scarce, 
and go off rapidly at high prices. Trade has not yet assumed 
the usual busy appearance at this time of the year, as it should 
do ; but all that is wanted is cold, frosty weather.

Being without Sugar, Spice, or other admixture, it suits all 
palates, keeps for years in all climates, and is four times the 
strength of Cocoas thickened, yet weakened, with Arrowroot,
