RICHARD GIBBS' MONTHLY CIRCULAR,

DECEMBER, 1843.

-----:-

LONDON, December 1st, 1843.

The Arrivals of the last month are, the EMMA, CULDEE, ST. VINCENT, EQUESTRIAN, MORLEY, and CITY OF DERRY, at London; and the INGLEWOOD at Liverpool,

The Market from the commencement of the meath has been greatly depressed, much difficulty has existed in effecting Sales, at the nominal rates, either by private contract or public auctions, the latter have been frequent and marked by progressive decline: the continued pressure on the Market has induced the greatest caution on the part of Purchases. Sales can only be made to à limited extent, at a shade of decline on present quotations. The dates from China by the regulat monthly arrival, are only to August-ard, and present no new feature. On the 7th 4,400 packages were offered in public sale, about half sold, without spirit, at about, previous prices.

On the 10th our of 17.800 packages about 8000 were taken by the Trade, the half of which were Pour chongs; shewing a decline in Congou and Twankay of d. per lb., and in plain Orange Pekoe, and Young Hyson of 14. to 2d.

能

C.

ffered, without material alteration:

Ou the 1st 2000 packages sold out of 4000" On the 24th 18.300 Chests were offered and principally bought in or withdrawn; Buyers being so little inclined to enter into stock, 2000 only sold, the sale closing with the greatest depression.

A sale of 8,800 packages is to take place at Hull on the 6th instant. No further sales are yet advertized. The stock of Company's Congou is 3,646 Chests.
