The subjoined weekly summary of the produce
markets is extracted from the circular of Messrs.
W. J. and H. Thompson :

There is very little alteration to notice in the value of colo-
nial produce; a good demand exists for most descriptions, but
tho largo supplies tend to check improvement in prices. The
public Wes of sugar, which hare comprised large quantities
of fomign, have gone off heavily, at a decline of 6d. to Is. yer
cwt., except for the fine qualities ; privately several floc
cargoes have changed hands. For coffee there is still a good
demand, and the plantation kinds, which have been freely
offered have brought tall rates, while fat the Dative sorts a
further advance of Is. has been obtained. Rice has been dull
of sale, but holders have generally bought in at about the
former quotations. Some inquiry has existed for saltpetre,
end privately sees have been made at full rates. The NS
market has been quiet.

This return exhibits the effect of the payment of
the dividends, which commenced on the Bth. It
will be seen that, owing to the large repayments of
advances previously made b, the Bank (as shown in
the decreue in the " other securities) coupled with
the re-lodgment of a large portion of the dividends
as " other" deposits, the decrease in the Bank's
reserve is only 756,6811. This result is sufficiently
satisfactory. Of the decrease of 609,9011. in the coin
and bullion, probably nearly one-half represents coin
withdrawn by the dividend receivers.
