SMITHFIELD.

There was a fair average supply of beasts on offer in to.
day's market, and the demand for most breeds ruled steady,
at Monday's advance in the quotations. We had a fair
demand for sheep, the show of which was moderate, at
very full pi ices. There was a good inquiry for lambs, the
value of which had an upward tendency. The primest
breeds were in some instances worth Gs. Bd. to 7s. per 81bs.
The show of calves was extensive, and the veal trade was
heavy, at barely stationary prices. In pigs very little
was doing.
liilch cows were steady, at from 14/. to 201. each, in.
chiding their small calf.

COLONIAL.
TE.—The auctions have progressed slowly, and some
kinds have declined.
Suerlit—There has been a good inquiry for British
plantation at full rates. Barbadoes fine yellow, at auc-
tion, realised 37s to 38s, mid to good 33s Gd to 36s 6d, and
lox: 31s to 335. Crystalised Demerara sold at 35s 6d to
3Ss Gd for mid to good yellow. Bengal brought 35s to 37a
for yellow to good Benares, 31s Gd to 35s for good yellow,
and 36s Gd to 40s Gd for mid to fine grainy yellow. Ma-
dras was taken in freely at 26s to 26s 6(1 for Native brown,
but good grocery yellow was taken in at 36s to 375. Mau-
ritius has gone steadily, viz., common brown at 25s 6d to
29s 6d, mid to fine at 27s to 30s, low to good yellow at
30s 6d to 35s 63, fine at 365, refining at 29s to 355, grainy
brown at 29s Gd to 33s 6d, yellow at 31s to 355, and fine
do. at 40s 45s per cwt. Manilla sold briskly at 26s 6d to
275, washed at 26s Gd. Low Havannah 32s per cwt. Cuba
wcut at an advance of 7s per cwt, viz, at 31s Gd to 38s 6d
for yellow, and at 30s to 31s for brown. Refined brown
lumps have ruled firm at 44s to 445-6 d per cwt.
COFFEE.—A fair business has been done at full curren-
cies. Plantation Ceylon, at public sale, brought in some
instances is per cwt advance, viz, 65s to 70s and 72s for
good qualities, 61s to 64s for mid to good mid, 58s 6d to 60a
for low mid, 55s 6d to 58s for fine ord, and 42s to 52s for
triage. Good ord Native Ceylon sold privately at 475 to
47s Gd, and at auction was taken in at 47s per cwt. Mocha
has been taken in publicly at 755. East India sold at 56a
to 77s per cwt.
RlCE.—This article has been heavy. Bengal was taken
in publicly at 13s to 133 6cl for mid white, and Java at
26s to 30s for clean.
SPICES.—White Singapore pepper is rather cheaper,
being 78d to lid per lb. Pimento brought sad for mid.
Zaubar cloves went at 5d to sid, and China ginger at
Gd to Bd.
Rust.—Not much has been done. Jamaica has realised
full prices.
SALTPETRE.—The market has been heavy. A small
quantity of Bengal brought 23s f,r 11 per sent, and 23s 6(1
per cwt for 9.; per cent refraction.
INDlGO.—Guatemala went at 2s 9d to 4s 11d.
ARROWROOT.—St. Vincent's obtained 7:1{1 for good per lb.
TALLOW.—P.Y.C. has advanced to 51s 6d per cwt on
the spot.
GREEN FRUIT.-- The demand continues good, and the
stock of oranges being diminished prices are well sus-
tained. Two cargoes from St. Michael, sold by Keeling
and Hunt, went at an advance of 2s to 3s per box ; Lisbon
in proportion. The low price of Seville sours has induced
the confectioners to clear the market of the article. Nets
without alteration.
