GROCFXS' GAZETTE.

LONDON PRODUCE, Friday. —ln the colonial produce
tnarkets during the week the changes have been few
and unimportant, although the suppliea of several
articles brought forward at the public sales were large.
Good groosry qualities of sugar have been taken to a
moderate extent, and the refiners are buying 'West
India more freely to meet their current requirements,
but in other respects the general tone of business
remains quiet. The coffee market is slightly lower,
In the face of the extensive assortment again offered
at auction, and a considerable quantity of the East
India descriptions has been bought in. Long berry
Mocha could be sold only upon reduced terms. A
steady demand, however, prevails for plantation and
native Ceylon. Ordinary Trinidad cocoa is Is. per cwt
-sheapit. Several contracts have been made in low
meg* Bengal rice, with short prompts, at easier rate..
Itre only alteration in spice is a slight decline on
Singapore black pepper. About 1,700 bales Ceylon
cinnamon will be offered at the quarterly sales next
Monday. Some large transactions have taken place in
new season's KRiEOW oongou teas at easier rates, Quo-
tations of hfoning are unchanged. The tea sales yes-
terday and to-day passed off flatly.—Fine Irish Butter
continues in demand, and American also sells well at
extreme quotations: secondary sorts are likewise in
request. English Butter meets a good inquiry at
former rates; the but Dorset 1208. to 1245. per cwt.
Fresh Batter has been in leas request-firsts, 155., second's
and West Country, 145., and thirds, 13s. per dozen. The
eupply and also the quality are good. Foreign butter I
meets a dull demand, and fine Friesland is quoted at '
ILI& to 114 s. per cwt. Irish lard of good quality is
scarce and inquired for. Fine barrelled American tem
be bought at 440. to 56si per. cwt. Of fine Irish and
Hambro' Bacon the supply and demand are about
equal; prime sizeable Waterford, We. to 675. f. o, b..
and Gra to 68s. landed. The home demand for old
American Bacon is nearly over; export orders are
rather on the increase. There has been an improved
business in shipping provisions this week, and the
ste.oka of Beef and Pork are becoming very light.
Hembree Perk, prime Mess, has found a ready sale
at 95a. For Irish Hams the season is now over, and
none of good quality are to be had. The American
are all out of condition, and buyers can pretty well
make their own terms. York Hams may be quoted at
We. for 281 h. to 311 b., 106 s. for 181 b. to 221 b., and
112 s. for 201 b. to %Ito. Really fine qualities of English
Cheese am firm in prise, and much wanted. For
otbsr descrt-ptions prices ars irregular. The stocks of
Amssls'n Cheese do not accumulate, although the
arrhals have been liberal. The demand is steady at
quotations. Ditch Cheese in limited request. Ostend
rabbits 3a. Gd. per stone.
Bnurror. —October24. —Prices re re sin s teady
for all raw raw, ea d a fair business has been trans-
acted during Os week. The sales consist of Barbadoes,
Ma. to 405., ane crystal Demerara up to 435. per cwt.
Refiners' produce is not in quite so active demand, and
prices are supported with difficulty. Ram remains
unaltered in vain.,

BaurroL—CE Hui—Friday. —We reprot a fair average
trade this week, at prices very near those of the
cement month. American cheese moves rather slowly.
Single Glonoesters are obtained in better condition for
the buyer, and markets are easily obtained for Sornersets
and Cheddars of prime qualities.
Lin Iwo° r., Friday—Sugar: No change in market.
Nothing doing in molasses. Coffee dull. Bice: a
good demand for Bengal, at nominally unaltered rates.
Gambier: The 500 bales are withdrawn. No disposi-
tion to purchase.
