MARKETS-(THIS DAY )

CORN EXCHANGE.
The supplies to-day were to a fair extent, but of oats large:
Trade was languid rather than otherwise. Inferior Wheat
declined Is., and inferior Barley was a little lower; but the
best descriptions of both these kinds maintained former prices.
Oats were heavy of sale, and went down 6d. per quarter'
Beans and Peas must also be quoted at 6d. to Is. per quarter
lower. Flour unvaried.

TALLOW MARKET.
There is more briskness to-day here, and P. Y. C. has ad-
vanced to 465.

TIMBER MARKET.
The only publicly advertised sale to notice, is one of 150
logs of Honduras Mahogany, which fetched 50. to 9id. for
small to fair middling wood. Nothing fresh in any otherkiLd
of Timber, Baltic or Canadian.

TEA SALE (THIS DAY).
We may say that about 90,000 packages have paned the
hammer; which is about half the quantity originally adver-
tised. Buyings in continue extensive. A difference of opi-
nion prevails as to whether prices are not now a little lower,
some affirming that they are, and others that they are not.
Nothing decisive can be said.
COLONIAL MARKETS.
These great departments of business are exceedingly quiet;
nothing indeed passing of any moment. Quotations remain
unaltered, but are merely nominal. The imports are slender.
SUGAR, B. P.—West India. is quoted at from 60s. 6d. for
brown, to 665. for yellow ; low to good, up to 675.; 68s'
for fine.

Mauritius, according to quality, from 545. to 66.. Bengal,
from 50s. to 685., according to description.
Refined Sugar is said to have fetched 38s. for doubl6
crushed. The refilled trade generally, owing to a variety of
circumstances, is in a very depressed condition. Amongst
Spices, Pepper is the only commodity moving, and rather
higher prices are realized by it.
Cotton receives a little business by private contract at its
previous value. _

Coffee, Rice, Cccoa, Rum, and Indigo, are all inanimate and
unvaried.

That part of colonial produce which cones from the Cs'
nadas is just in the same state a 3 previously noted.
Higher prices are asked to-dly for Oil and Turpentine, i?
consequence of the great fire of yesterday which consumed
so much.
