THE WEEK.

rti
business. The imports have been fair for the season—the 0.. the
eXP°
light—but the deliveries for home consumption have been to a ffutent. The only alteration that has occurred in the price of produce
the
been in Pepper, which has realized rather more money. Tea, on
at
whole, may be regarded as having fetched much the same price
the last public sale. For next week there is at present but little I)
ness advertised in the Colonial Markets.
