The eoloidel produce markets have been less fully
souplied, bet in many instance, the demand has not
been maintain.' on its recent scale. Deliveries, how-
ever, are as large that the present quietude is thought
to be but temporary. Smear remains without animation,
the only restores heir.l the increased business in floating
cargoes for the Continent and the advance established
at the Netherland Trading f'o.npany's sale of Jaya held
at Rotterdam on Friday. Large import' of Ceylon
coffee bare occurred, and the inquiry being less active,
prices of phi:dation sorts Lave receded shout is. per
cwt. Costa Rica is dui. Soft-graised rice is again
higher, and three are apparently no sellers at • further
advance. During the past fortnight the cargoes diposed
•of afloat represent about 16,500 tons--a quantity larger
than at any former period in ao short a time. The tea•
market is without improvement by private contract,
bat the public sales, including 46,000 packsges "without
reserve," have shown • better result than might have
been expected from the large quantity offered so soon
all'er the previous eerie'. New season's Kahan congests
bare realized prices quite equal to those current
priest.ly. Other descriptions generally were without
I lootable change. Old red anti blackish leaf congress
were taken readily. For cocoa further enhanced rates
hive been obtained. The market for saltpetre is de-
pressed by the extremely large arrivals end the still
increasing stock.
