The trade in the General Produce Markets during
the week has been limited, and prices of the leading
articles are decidedly lower. In Sugar, CJITee, and
'Tea a m3derate businoas has been done. The only
article in demand is Brimstone, upwards of 1,000
tons of that article clinging hinds within the
week,
There has not been much business doing in tht.
Provision Markets Beef is dull, awl slightly
lower• Pork steady, and Bacon rather higher
Fine Cheese is Is to 2s per cwt. dearer, but laud is
6d to is lower,

We take the following from the Tobacco circu'.ar
of Messrs. Grant, Hodgson & Co., of London :--
Sales 1 ist month may be est'inated at fully 040 blids.,
Consisting; cf 12.0 hhd. Virg'nia Leaf, and 6 hh Is. and
tiere, a of strips ; 140 Kentucky Llaf, and 450 hhds. of
strips; and 170 blids. of Maryland. Sales of otter gr.'wths
have been etftced to a c imiderible to ent at full prices,
and in some inetancrs at a slight advance on pr'-vious
rates. The general character of the market for American
.descriptions has not pro3en'ed star change, a• d we have
resume-1 oar former (potations. Manufacture's havti pur-
chased more freely than for some tina.!.paat, and 'litre his
been a fair inqu'ry of good and fine sorts fur f xporta i ,n.
Latest accounts from the UM:ed States speak forouratly of

?Jr. Thomas Thorburne, .af Glasgow, has just
publiShei his quarterly repcirt of the S Iron
Trade. Fr3m it we make the iollowing interesting
extracts :

The Iron Trade continues in a sound and pro,-erous
position. The average number of furnaces in bias', during
the quarter ju,t closed, w. re ore hnnlred and twenty.
eight, and produa-d about 217 000 tons of Pig Iron
Though the production is a few thousand tons le,s, when
compared with .the preceeing three (myths, still it is
slightly in excess of the exports and local consumption,
which in the aggregat.e amouute.l to 208,000 tons. The
,stocks have thus only increased 9,000 ton., and are now
112,000 tons laying in makers' and warehouse-keepers'
'stores. In the almost entire abse:ceo'spi•culative operati
partly owing to the military rev, I. in India, prices have
tended downwards, hav:ng aveya!ed in Illy 74 4d, in
August 704, and in September 67s 91, for mix-d numbers
Worthy of obec vation that, whilst No. 1, G.M.B. has
declined curing the quarter nearly 7s 6d, G rtsheriie has
scarcely receded 33 per ton, and is.soll in demand at 76.

:Within the last few days there has been more ir.q dry for
Pig Iron, and the shipments are extending. The
quotations are 6-m, at 723 61 for No. 1 Calder and
Coltuess; 71s No. 1 G:eigirnock and S immerlee ; 69s
No. 1 G.M.8.; 68s for mixed number ; 673 to 683 for
Ayrshire brands; and 67s 61 to 683 61 for East Coast
brands. The bar walkers and founders being generally
fully employed, have, in cons qu-nce of the fall in Pig-
iron, barn enabled to slightly reduce their prices, which
are as follows :—Bars, 8/ 103 to 9/; Plates, 101 0
101 7s 6,1; Sneete,
_ 101 5s to 101 151; Rails, 81 65 to

Messrs. Pilkington Brothers, in their Freight
Circular say
With the exception of C,►al Freights to the East
tidies-, which continue to advaLco dai;y, ttere is lade
nimation in the fright market. The intention of
sending troops by the overland route, natead of by
the Cape, may operate as a check upon the demand for
coal ships; but this does not appear to stay the upward
tendency at pressnt, and the fe:ling is general that coal
