PRODUCE.

(From Messrs. W. J. and H. Thompson's Circular of Friday
evening.)
In the colonial markets this week there has been • fair de-
mand, and • considerable quantity of produce has changed
hands, bet in some instances prices have been in favour of
the buyers. There hay been en active inquiry for "agar, and
although large quantities have been uttered full rates have
generally been maintained. The sales of coffee, which have
been extensive, have gone off irregularly, and quotations for
Plantation Ceylon, particularly for the low and medium
qualities, are about 2s. below those previoualy obtainable.
Rice continues dull, and the sales made, show a decree of
M. per cwt. There has been en improved demand for salt-
petre at an advance of Is. to Is. 6,1. per cwt., but to-day the
inquiry was lees active. The quarterly auctions of cinnamon,
consisting of 2,600 bales, will be held on Monday. There
has been beta moderate amount of business in tea.
SUGAR.—The average price of brown or Muscovado
sugar, the produce of the British possessions in America, for
the week ending April 21, is 40a. 40. per cwt., exclusive of
. The averageprioe of brown or Muscovado sugar, the
produce of the East Indies, fer the week ending as above, is
.sfd. The average price of brown or Muscovado sugar,
=2. the produce of the Mauritius, for the week ending ea is

BRISTOL, APRIL 24.—There has again been an excellent
demand this week for all deeeriptions of sugar, hat in West
India we ere without any transactions to report, owing to the
total absence of a supply; in Mauritius about 7,000 mats
grocery sorts have been deposed oc chiefly from 63e. 64, to
565. for common, and 675. to 694. crystallised qualities,
w6;ch is rather dearer. Flouting, four cargoes are reported,
viz., three of Havannalu and one of Mauritius, the exact par-
ticulars of which have not transpired. Refiners' produce of
all kinds finds a ready .ale, both for immediate and forward
delivery, at again rather higher prices. In ram a parcel of
Tobago for arrival has been sold, but the Wins and price
have not transpired.

COTTON.—Live•root, Arum 24.—The depression in
ear market that we had to report in our last circular as result •
lug from the stringent state of the money market has rather
increased than otherwise during the past and at the
same time there has been a good deal of ty in prime.
The quotations for fair Mobile and U are reduced an
id. per lb., while the low duaty and or grades of Ameri-
can cotton are, with a very limited demand, and a large
quantity nc the market, almost unsaleable. We now
quote mid • Uplands, 7d. 7-16ths ; Mobile. 7d. 9.l6ths ;
Orleane.74d.., 1-16ths. The Committee of Brokers .sce
U fair 70. ; Mobile, 70.; Orleans, 814. Surat
cotton id. pee lb. lower for week, with a large and
abundant, supply offering for We. Egyptians, Emile, and
flea Islands have partlopated in the general dulness, and the
turn of advantage in these also has been with the buyer.
The American accounts show a large increase to the amount
of deficiency in the receipts, as compared with last year;
prices had materially advanced, and the confidence in a
total crop little, if at all, exceeding three millions of bales,
gains ground se the Ammon advances. 1400 American, and
460 Surat, are report° t to have been taken on speculation;
2,860 American, and 1,200 Sara; for export; so that th
deliveries to the trade for the week have been about
37,700 bides. Saks today 4,000 bake. Sales of the week
43,620 bides.
