WEEKLY SUMMARY OF THE PRODUCE

MARKETS.

MINCING-LANE, SATCRDAY MORNING.
The colonial markets at the commencement of the week',
were flat, excepting for Sugar, for which there was a good
demand, and at full rates. Phis dulness was no doubt in a
great measure attributable to the unsatisfactory state of the
Liverpool Cotton market, which created some anxiety in
that quarter, and reacted here. The sales of Sugar on
Tuesday were very large, and went off well, but yesterday
the market closed flatly, and, to sell, lower rates must have
been accepted. Fur Coffee there has been very little inquiry,
unless at lower prices, which have in sumo instances been
accepted. Costa Itica is quoted at 2s. lower; and some pri-
vate sales of plantation Ceylon arc spoken of at 1.. to
below last week's rates. Large sales of Spice have been
held. Black Pepper has fallen about per lb. ; and Nut-
megs and Macc, Id. to 2d. per lb. ; but at these reductions
sales were readily effected. In Tea a large amount of busi-
ness done, chiefly in common Congou, at fully id. per lb.
reduction on last week's rates.

TALLOW MAItKET.—THIS DAY.
The market is again very quiet to-day, with but little
business doing. Prices are quoted as follows:—Town
3.55. 6d. to 30s. ; Petersburg Y.C. on the spot, 37.. rid. ;
%a and June, 37e.; last three months, 3M.. 6d. sellers.
AVTRACITS.—Town Tallow, 38s. Oil. ; fat by
ditto, 2s. id.; Yellow Russian, 391.; melted stuff, Ver.;
rough ditto, 17s. ; Tallow graves, 95.; good dregs, 6s.
The price of Russian on the spot during the week has
, further given way, there being sellers of tine at 3Ss. per
cwt., but dealers operate with caution, and only take sufli-
tient for their present wants, as there is every prospect of a
further full, the stock being large and greater than last year,
whilst rousuraption has become small, and rates rule above
last season. For delivery there art sellers of New at
:fps. ttd. for last three months of the year; few contracts,
however, have been made. Home Melted is offering at a
reduction, and is obtainable at 375. nett cash for present de-
livery, but the supply exceeds the wants of dealers, and is
likely so to continue. Other sorts of Tallow are plentiful,
and can be obtained under recent rates ; still operations
continue of a trifling nature. The stock of Tallow is 9,006
casks greater than last year, and deliveries for home con-
sumption are less, still rates are from Is. 6d. to 2s. per cwt.
above that time. Several arrivals of Tallow are looked for.
I Fat is in large supply, and rates are on the decline, there
being few buyers for present or forward delivery.
