SMITHFIELD.

To-day's market was seasonably well supplied with
beasts, most breeds of which sold slowly, at Monday's
currency. The show of sheep was good, yet the mutton
trade ruled brisk, at very full prices. Lambs were in full
average supply and steady request, at extreme rates, viz.,
5s 4d to 7s per 81bs. We had a good inquiry for calves—
the show of which was on the increase—at full quotations.
In pigs very little was doing, on former terms.
Milch cows sold slowly, at from 141 to 191 each, includ-
ing their small calf.
Per 81bs to sink the offals.

COLONIAL.
TEA.—The public sales this week went off heavily, there
being an indisposition to pay previous rates.
SUGAR.—EarIy in the week importers insisted upon 2s
6d to 3s oat of tho additional duty, but since 2s to 2s 6d
has been obtained for British plantation. Barbadoes at
auction went slowly, a part only of the quantity offered
finding buyers. Brown at 33s to 33s 6d, low to mid yellow
at 34s to 375. good to fine at 37s 6d to 40s 6d, and rather
grainy at 425. Demerara crystalised was taken in at 36s
to 42s 6d for ord to fine yellow, and 34s to 35s for brown.
For Mauritius, 2s to 2s Gd addition to the old duties
has been asked, and very little has really been
offered for sale. Privately business has been done in
Bengal and Madras at 2s more duty at auction, while
Benares Bengal was taken in at 37s 6d to 39s for ord to
good, while Porto Rico sold at 2s to 2s Gd advance, viz.,
at 40s to 42s for fine yellow, at 36s to 39s 6d for other
sorts, and 33s to 35s for brown. Bahia afloat brought 19s
per cwt. Unclayed Manilla was taken in publicly at 298

demand at advancing prices, viz., 47s to 47s 6d for brown
lumps, and 48s to 53s for low to fine grocery.
COFFEE.—Holders are firm, and have brought very little
forward for sale. Plantation Ceylon at auction realised
66s to 78s for good to fine, 61s to 65s for mid to good mid,
and Veto 52s for triage. Native Ceylon has been quiet at
47s to 47s Gd, and superior at 48s per cwt.
COTTON—The market is steady.
RlDE—Bengal, at auction, brought 12s 6d. to 13s Gd for
low to mid white. Fine after being taken in publicly at
15s, subsequently was taken at that figure.

prices, viz. 4id to 4ad, white was taken in at 13s to 16s 6d.

terday touched 568 on the spot, and 56s 6d for May and
June.

is nearly clear of oranges. A cargo from Aveiro, sold by
Keeling and Hunt, at public sale, landed out of condition,
