CROCERS' C kZETTE.

L'enox, Friday.—The Colonial and Foreign Produce
Alxrketil have been dull through the greater part of the
week, hut an easier condition of money has caused some
revival of activity at the close. After remaining in
abeyance for several days, hilliness was resumed in the
sugar market on Tuesday, the Gist transactions being at
a decline of :Is Csd per cwt. Since this the demand
has increased materially, and the latest prices are,
In most instances, again, up to the late highest point.
Coffee has sold very steadily, and plantation Ceylon
kinds must be quoted Gil to Is per cwt. dearer. The
extensive puhlie tea sales have at length been con.
chided, establishing a reduction for inset descriptions.
At theoe rates, however, there is now some speculative
inquiry for the commoner grades of Congou. Ries, has
reeniiined out of demand. Meantime, it has not been
pressed for sale, and quotations are without depression.
Spices have sold slowly ; the only change in prices is •
small decline in Pimento. The dried fruit trade is
dull ; extensive supplies have been offered without
kading to much bususeas. although moderate rates were
accepted for both *arrant, and raisins.
