WEEKLY SUMMARY OF THE PRODUCE
MARKITS.
MINCINO-LANR, SATURDAY MORNING.
The colonial markets during the week hays been mode-
rately active, and prices show little alteration. Sugar has been
in good demand, and full rates have been generally paid, al-
though the refining sorts of Mauritius, which have lately
been very freely offered, were 'sold yesterday at a slight de-
cline. Of foreign, several caw es and parcels on the spot
have been favourably disposed of. The coffee market hu
shown much firmness, and, privately, a large business hes
been transacted, • considerable quantity of native Coylen
having been sold at 475. 6d. to 48e. fid. per cwt. A cargo
of Rio bee also been disposed of for the Mediterranean, bat
the price has not been allowed to transpire. The Nether-
lands Trading Company's sale of coffee at Amsterdam went
off at an advance of 2 cents ; while it is reported that the
sales held on Thursday at Rotterdam were concluded ea
still better terms. The business in tea by private treaty I.
limited by the disinclination of importers to supply the mar-
ket at present rates in fees of the late favourable &d-
-eices from China. Common congous are more in demand
for export; the finer sorts being those chiefly taken by the
wholesale dealers. Greens imported from Shanghai meet
as they are offered • reedy market at improving prices, but
only • few importers are sellers. Tuesday's auction
realised full rates for most qualities, the amount sold con-
asting of about ontethird of the quantity put up.
