COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

WEEKLY SUMMARY OF THE PRODUCE
MARKETS.

MINCING-LANR, SATURDAY MORNING.
The transactions i■ the Colonial markets this week have
been to a fair extent, and prices of some articles of produce
have slightly improved. In the West India descriptions of
sugar there has been a good demand at occasionally ed. per
cwt. advance, other sorts have supported previous prices.
The public sales of Coffee have gone off with spirit, export-
ers baying purchased freely, and full rates have been ob-
tained ; the native sorts of Ceylon however have been sold
on rather lower terms. The fine descriptions of Saltpetre
have been sold at 6d. per cwt. advance. There has been
rather more inquiry for rice at full rates. The tea market
still keeps firm, and a good boatneu is doing in teas of the
latest arrival.

METALS.—Mr. Moate's circular states that the
iron market presents a very encouraging prospect, and the
makers are exceedingly busy. In Scotch pig a good busi-
ness has bean done this week, but during the last day or
two there has been left excitement, and prices are a shade
easier. 455. to 455. 641. is the quotation for mixed numbers
cash, and 46e. three months open f.o.b. in Glasgow. Welch
bars are in fair request ; the price has advanced 104. to
15s. per ton. Rails are firmer ; makers are quite full, and
the price is stiffening. Several thousand tons have been
sold this week at 6/. per ton, Oct cash, f.o.b. in Wales.
Stafibrd•hire iron : An advance of 20s. per ton has been
declared ; but, owing to the large business in rails, orders
tor other descriptions are difficult of execution. Spelter :
A few operations have been effected at 161. 15s. on the spot
and 171. to arrive. Sheet zinc has advanced 11. per ton.
British tin his been raised 31. per ton. Banca and Straits
continue quiet and firm. Tin plates in moderate request ;
an improvement in this metal also is expected.
