In the colonial produce-markets last week the amount
of business has been very moderate, and the demand for
some articles has reoeived a check, owing to unusually
extensive arrivals. Plantation Ceylon coffee has fallen .
in. to 2a. and common native growth fully in. per cwt.
since last Friday; 17 cargoes from Colombo are new
unloading. At the above redaction a steady inquiry
prevails. Costa Rica meets a ready sale for eons:lmp.

deliveries continue good. In the tea-market these
has been a moderate demand by private contract for the
o immon grades of black and red leafoongou ; fine greens
have been sold for America at full prices. Several
floating cargoes of new soft grain rite have been sold for
the Continent, and holders generally require enhanced
rates as well as for the good qualities on the spot, whisk

Bengal saltpetre continues dull, and the deliveries are
still decreasing; fine has been sold in Liverpool at
21s. 9d. per cwt. The imports of Week pepper mei
other spice have been very heavy. No material elainge
appears in cocoa, and the extremely high value id
irinided hes caused the demand to slacken.
