COLONIAL.

TEA—Business has been very dull, the trade having been
occupied with the samples cf the large quantity of China
produce to be offered for public sale to-day.
SUGAR—The market has remained dull, and the few
dealings reported have been at about previous rates. In
the Refined Market, however, a firmer tone prevailed,
owing to the limited quantity of goods on offer.
COFFEE—The demand for colonial descriptions has been
moderately active at steady prices.

RlCE—Only a moderate amount of business has been
done without any material change to report in values.

TALLOW—The market has continued very dull, and prioes
have given way about 6d per cwt in all quotations. P.Y,C.
on the spot is quoted:4 la ; December, 42a 6d ; and January
to March, 43s 6d per cwt.

A Paris letter in the Independanee of Brussels,
speaking of financial matters, says:-" The Seville
Xeres railway shares have within the last few days suffered
a considerable decline, attributed to the refusal of one of the
greet banking houses in this city to accept the drafts of the
Credit Company in Spain. It appears positive that the
company suffered very severely by ono of the failures &-
dared on Tuesday last in London, but I am informed from
the best authority that up to the present time it has not
ceased to meet its enagements, The rumours of suspersion
of payment may, until something further takes place, be
considered as false, and under any circumstances as male-
volent end premature."
