The demand for discount accommodation on mer-
cantile account is still particularly moderate, and as

engaging attention.

loath Wales Colliery Company have been applied

at fall rates, while operations in tea have been con.
.ed chiefly to superior qualities of green. Rice,
futt
tallow
and spices, have been neglected, and in the
"Illew market there has been very little business
tratlfacted either for present or forward delivery.
