GROCERS' GAZETTE

' LONDON COLOAILL PROMOS MARKET, Friday.—ln
the colonial produce markets during the week few
changes have occured, and there is still little speculative
beeinees. The- light stock of coffee in first hands
prevents any important sales on the spot. All descrip-
tions continue in good demand, with buyers at fully the
former value, floating cargoes of foreign participating
in the improvement. Some forced sales of soft grain
. rice are reported upon reduced terms. The sugar market
, does not exhibit any alteration, but it closed to day
with more firmness, owing mainly to the limited
quantity brought forward at the sales. Middling to
good refining and fine grocery sorts still attract the
greatest attention. Only a portion of the heavy imports
of tea are at present offering, and the trivia restrict their
' operations in the anticipation of buying medium grades
of Congou upon more favourable terms. Very good
common has been sold for export at Is 2ici per lb.
. Pine descriptions suport their prevous value. The
public sales held yesterday and to day palmed off flatly.
and occasionally at lowerprices forCongou, especially the
broken leaf sorts and common Tayshab. Asians went
without material variation. Bengal saltpetre closes at
&I to Is per cwt. advance. Black pepper is • shade
cheaper. White has been realised to some extent, of
, which the particulars have not transpired. The recent
- arrivals of cassia lignea will shortly be offered by
suction. Green fruit has bean in an unsettled state.
; Some Cargoes of St Michael and Valencia have sold at
. _high prices. Lemons are at an improved value. Seville
; and Palermo sours sustain the agivanoed rates. The
dry fruit market has been less active but prices remain
firm. Smyrua raisins are in demand, and some sales
have been made at fall rates. Sultanas are depressed.
Fir a shade lower.
Bsurrowemmegitsecirr, FrUlay.—The trinisictions
la- in our market have been small of We, owing to the
general depression of business, consequently many of our
