THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY

HUNGERFORD MARKET.

There were fair supplies to-day at market of Fish, Meat,
and Vegetables. and es the weather has much improved, there
was a good business done. Prices remain much as we last
quoted them, this being a retail market.
HAYMARKETS.

Supplies to-day were but moderate, particularly of Straw.
The demand for all descriptions of dry provender was good.
Ha) 80,, to 100 s. 110 s. and 115 s. Clove: 80s. to 120 s.
Straw 304. to 40s. per load.
PROVISION MARKET.

Stocks of most kinds are considerable rather than otherwise.
But a moderate business is doing, and prices may generally
be regarded as a little easier without_being positively lower.

SPIRIT MARKET.

But very little is passing in any branch of this department,
and prices of Brandy, Rum, and Geneva, are without varia-
tion. British Corn Spirits are now 10s. 6d. per gallon.
QUARTERLY TEA SALE.—SECOND DAY.

This sale was resumed again this morning, in presence of a
fsir muster of the trade. The sale progresses better than was
previously expected; and, althouei it is too early yet to state
with accuracy the prices of the present sale as compared
with those of the last, the general impression is, that prices
(except for the higher sorts) where they differ from those of
last sale, are lower ; but still not so much lower, as was ex-
pected. Up to the time of our leaving the sale room, about
16,000 packages had passed, and somewhere about one-third
of that number sold.
COLONIAL MARKETS.
_ _

To day we had public sales of 3,670 bags Bengal Sugar,
197 of Mauritius, and 100 hhds. of Barbadoes. The whole of
the Bengal did not sell, but that which did, together with
both the other sorts, fetched about previous rates, which were
from 535. 6d. to 68s. 6d. for Bengal, and from 445. 6cl. to
655. for Mauritius. B. P. Sugar moves steadily at previous
rates. Coffee, 200 casks and 150 bags B. P. were put and must
be sold at priests much about those previously obtained. It is
thought that Pepper, Pimento, and East India Ginger will ad-
vance in price, owing to the stocks being ,so small. For to
morrow we have public sales of 900 bags Coffee at the 9d.
duty, and 626 barrels and 400 bags at the 6:.1. ; 100 bales
Mocha ; 3,500 bags Mauritius Sugar; 2,600 Siam ; and
1,000 bags Black Pepper.
