LONDON COLONIAL MARKETS, Friday.—The colonial
produce markets during the week have not presented
any material change, the transactions generally being
cf moderate extent Coffee continues firm, with only
limited supplies at present offering. The sugar-market
has been dull, and where importers have pressed sales
a trifling decline has occurred. Owing to the inactivity
in trade the deliveries have fallen off. The Nether-
lands Trading Company's sale, fixed for the 21st of
May, will contain 06,000 baskets. Rice attracts rather
more attention. Apparently there are no buyers of
cassia lignea, even at a fall of 2s. to 3s. per cwt.; and
black pepper is less readily saleable than of late. Other
spice remains unaltered. Saltpetre has been firm,
closing &I. to Is. per cwt. dearer. Several contracts
are reported in Bengal for arrival, at 38a. 6d. to 40s,
rer cwt., according to conditions; fine, on the spot,
commanding 41s. per cwt. The clearances still pro-
gress extensively. Tea has been rather quiet in the
private contract market, partly attributable to the
public sales this week and on the 7th inst. Low grades
of congou are difficult to sell unless at • reduction.
There is a good assortment of Canton gnnpowder and
scented capers from the recent arrivals, arid • full
amount of business has been done in these descriptions.
The sales, commencing on Tuesday and concluding this
afternoon, passed off flatly throughout. Cui rants show
firmness, notwithstanding the general activity that
exists. A few hundred tons have been sold during the
past fortnight at former prices. At auction, every
parcel wiz bopglit in above value. Raisins are dull, but
holders' anticipate an improved demand, which, if
experienced and coining on our present stocks, will
doubtless give an improved tone to thearticle. Sultanas
are lower and much depressed.
LONDON PaoviatoNa.—ln the bacon market this week
there is very little doing, but the shippers are holding
out for long prices. The quantity delivered from the
stores is not so much as previous weeks. The butter
market is much lower : the price of Friesland as low as
108 s., with rattier dull gale; Jersey ruling from 100 s. to
108 s. Very little doing in other provisions.

at 58s. to 60s. per cwli for ordinary to fair ordinary.
Rice: The business is confined to 2,200 bags Bengal, at
19s, On. for low. Saltpetre: More doing, 780 bags
having changed bands, at 425. ed. to 435. per cwt. for
5.45 per cent. to 5.18 per cent. refraction.
