MARKETS.

COLONIAL PRODUCE MARKET
(From the L'ireular of Mn.ess Richard Viitheroy and Soo
Currants.—The London and Ossien steamers were
ri-
ported here on 30th and 31st ult. with new currants from
the Mars, six days earlier than last year. Two steamers
arrived at Liverpool on Ist inst. The quality of the new
fruit Is glad. The price opened here at 40s. for Gulph, and
425. for Vostissa, at which a great part bee been 'old. A
declitie of 2s. to 3e. took place in old fruit in blic salps
the day before theme cargoes arrived, old Patrse currant.'
"without reserve " at 235. to 28s. per cwt., according
to quality. With this exception there was scarcely any
busmen done in August. Old Vostizzas were bought in
at 345. Further supplies may be immediately looked for,
and an extensive consumption. That of the United King-
dom during the first seven months of this year was 12,845
tons, against 10,289 and 8,039 in 1859 sail 1858, and in the 11
months ending 31st July it had reached 24,700 tons ; in all
1859 it was 24,121 tons. The stock of old fruit in London
is estimated at about 7,000 tons. The duty paid London
clearances in August will not have exceeded 680 tons against

1,2d0 last year.
Raisins.—The two steamers Edina and Queen, with the
first cargoes of new Valentias, were reported here ou the
27th ult., five days later than the first arrival last season.
A steamer has also arrived at LiverpooL The quality of
the new crop is superior to that of 1859. The price opened
at 35e. per cwt., cr 15e., 10s, and Ms. per cwt. below the
opening prices of 1869, 1858, and 1857 respectively. In
1843, with duty at 15a., it opened at 375., mom when the
average has been 475. per cwt. at opening. In that year
10,009 tons of raisins were consumed in this country last
year it exceeded 15,000 tons, after having receded to 9,3911
tons in 1857, owing to high prices (50e. to 705.). If good
keeping quality be received this season the low price will
bring the article into early consumption, an advantage
which has been lost for many yeah' past. Consequently
importers have been caught with heavy stocks at Christmas
in a falling market. The Valenti& crop is considerably larger
than that of last year, whilst that of Turkey fruit is ex-
pected to be less. Shipments of the latter may be retarded
this season by our low prices, as it is likely that Russia and
Austria will be able to pay more. A few new Sultanas have
already arrived via Liverpool to dealers- price 60s.
Figs.—The first arrivals may be expected here a fortnight
hence : quality well reported : prices expected to be mode-
rate, and supplies of the lower sorts abundant.

TALLOW.—The advance which took place in the tallow
market towards the close of last week has not been fully
supported to-day. The improvement in the weather, and
the arrival of considerable supplies, added to large shipments

the beat prices of last week, the market closing quiet. On
