COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

WEEKLY SUMMARY OF THE PRODUCE
MARKETS.

MINCING-LAMB, SATURDAY MORNING.
The sales of colonial produce have this week been very
trilling, and business generally has been checked by the un-
certainty of ministerial affairs. The Sugar sales have gone
off at full rates for the middling grocery qualities, but the
fine descriptions have occasionally been sold rather in favor
of the buyers, while for refining sorts extreme rates have in
some instances been paid. Very few transactions hart
occurred in Coffee, a small parcel of Native Ceylon changed
hands at the commencement of the week at 465. 6d., the
present quotation however is about 464. per ewt. ; for Plan-
tation Ceylon at low prices there li:is been some inquiry,
but there is little to be had ; Mocha has been sold rather
cheaper.
The sale of Spices have consisted of 422 bags Pimento,
nearly all of which sold at Sid. per lb. for coarse and mid-
dling quality, and the damaged at 4d. to 4/d. per lb.
The Tea market has considerably improved in tone, and
there is demand both by tho home trade and export for
clean Congou, at ls. per lb. As the import of this quality
has been very limited of late, orders are not easily executed,
except from second-hand parcels. The next qualities arc
not at all affected as yet, but some some slight improvement
is visible in low greens.

ing downwards. Town Tallow is quoted 375. ' • Petersburg

The demand has been more active for Russian on the
spot this week ; them h also an advance, fine new Y. C.
selling at 375. 6d. to 375. 9d., and old 375. to 375. 3d. per
cwt., at which holden are firm. For delivery few sales
have been made, but for next two months there are not
sellers under 375. 3d. for new, and 38s. 6d. to 38s. 9d. is
asked for last three months of the year. There are several
buyers at a slight decline. In home melted a good deal
has been dons at 375. to 378. 6d. nett cash, but the market
is yet well supplied. Other sorts of Tallow are dealt in with
more freedom and cannot be obtained at former rates. The
stock of colonial and foreign is 3,000 casks more than last
year, but in the value there is now little difference. There
h a firmer market for fut, and a good deal has been done.
