The total reaction established in the price of West
India sugar is now as much as Bs. to 10e. per cwt.
The following weekly summary of the produce
markets is extracted from the circular of Messrs. W.
J. and H. Thompson :
In the colonial markets there has been bet little anima-
tion, and in most instances pries have had • downward
tendency. For sugar there hes been ',artily any demand,
sad the parcels offered at auction have been nearly all
withdraws, both importers and buyers being unwilling to
make a quotatioa ; by privet* contrast, however, some few
sales of West India have been made at about 81. to 10s. per
cwt. decline from the highest past of the market. The
plantation sorts of Ceylon coffee have acid at fully the
provioss value, but the native kinds have declined 2s. to 3e.
per cwt. Ries on the spot has changed hands at 63. to Is.
per cwt. lower than last week. Saltpetre has beat sold at a
fall of 2s. per cwt. Large sales of spire have been held, at
which a good demand existed, except for black pepper,
which was not in request, and the part realised wee as ltd.
per lb. redaction. In the tea market there is bat little
alteration. The trade is rather dull.
The return of the Bank of England for the week

The general inference to be draws from these
ebanges is, that the heavy payments made into the
Bank in liquidation of the instalments on the British
and Turkish loans, whilst adding largely to the ag-
gregate deposits at the disposal of the directors, have
assisted in causing extensive applications to the in-
stitution for discount accommodation and advances
upon stocks. The increase in the " other" securities
is thus heavy. The item of " government securi-
ties " held by the establishment at length shows a
sensible augmentation, being the first for many weeks
past. On balance, however, the outstanding note cir-
culation is becoming contracted—a circumstance
which helps to explain the present tightness of the
money market. The change in the coin and bullion
is on the unfavourable side, but the difference is not
heavy.
