TEA.—The market has remained very quiet, and quota-
tions aro inactive. good comma congou is dealt in at lld
to 12d per lb.

SUGAR.—Tho operations in West India have been mode-
rately active, and prices have further advanced fid per cwt.
In the refined market enhanced rates are also current, com-
mon lumps being quoted 53e per cwt.

COFFEE —There) has been more inquiry for plantation
Ceylon, and late prices are generally well supported.
RlCE.—Business has been dull, mad no material change
has been reported in quotations.
SALTPETRE.—There have been no public sales, and in
the private market the operations have been of the most
limited description, at previous prices.
TALLOW.—A moderate amount of business has been done
in P.Y.C. at steady prices, the quotations being, spot, 40a

market for oranges, has improved in price, and which is
likely to continue. Some parcels St. Michael, Terceira, and

of sound quality, likewise for nuts of all kinds which will
be required for the spring trade.
