COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS'.

WEEKLY SUMMARY OF THE PRODUCE
MARKETS.

MINCING-LANE, &fat:UGLY MOIKINe.
There has been a steady, though not extensive, demand
for colonial produce during the week, and prices gener►lly
arc unaltered. Of Sugar the public sales have not been
large, and former quotations have been about main-
tained. The Dutch trading Company's sale, held on
the 2nd instant, went off at about florin to 1
florin above the valuations. Scarcely any Coffee has
been offered at auction, but the demand is not very active;
native Ceylon is punted at 31k. per cwt. For Rice there
has been great inquiry, and large quantities are reported to
have changed hands at an advance of fal. to 9d. per cwt.
above last week's rates. There has been a considerable bu-
siness done in Tea, but prices have not changed.

TALLOW MARKET.-IHIS DAY.
The market is steady, and prices are well supported.
Town Tallow is quoted 31s. 6d. nett cash ; Petersburg,
Y. C., on the spot 355. 9d. ; Oct. to Dcc. (1832), 375. 3d. to
375. 61. ;on or before the end of March,3ss. 9d.
Idakrzy AVM-ADDS.—Town fallow, 38e. 9d. ; fat by
ditto, '24. Od. ; yeUow Russian, 375. tid. • melted stuff, 27%. ;
rough ditto, 16s. 6d. ; Tallow graves, 951 ; good dregs, 6s.

WOOL MARKET.—THIS DAY.
Since the public sales have terminated, the market has
been very quiet, and, although prices are very firm, it is
very difficult to make sales, particularly of the finer descrip
tions of German Wools. There is a fair quantity shipping
of colonial wools bought at the recent public sales, and most
of the wools lately purchased arc quitting the warehouses as
fast as they can, which looks well. The imports of wool
into London this week include 10 bales from Naples, 15
from Alexandria, 64 from Adelaide, 18 from Hiunburgh,
6 from Antwerp, and 82 from the Cape—being a very small
import.

SMITHFIELD HAY MARKET--THIS DAY.
Messrs. Cooper and Davis report trade heavy, at the fol-
lowing prices :—Prime Meadow Hay, 72a. to Mc ; inferior,
635. to 6s. ; Rowen, 60.. to 631. ; Clover, 780. to 84s. ; 1,1)•
cond cat, 66a. to 765.; Straw, 275. to 30s.

COVENT-GARDEN.—TILIS DAY.
Although the weather still continues cold, the market
is well supplied with vegetables and fruit; but trade is
dull. English Pine-apples arc plentiful, considering
the season. Hothouse Orapes are over, and foreign
ones are a trifle dearer. The best English Pears
fetch good prices. They still consist of Beurrd Rance,
Sc Plus Menne, and Easter Bturr6. Oranges are plen-
tiful and good. Nuts are nearly the same as last
quoted. Strawberries in small quantities continue to make
their appearance. Carrot., Turnips, Cabbages, &e., are
sufficient for the demand, and there is some fine Cornwall
Broccoli in the market. Potatoes are generally good in
quality. Lettuces and other Wading are sufficient for the
demand. Mushrooms are eh aper. Cut Bowers of Heaths,
Epacrises, Mignionette, Camellias, Roses, Acacias, Azaleas,
Primulas, Hyacinths, Tulips, Lily of the Valley, and other
forced bulbs.
