BOROUGH HOP.

The supply of English hops on sale continues large.
For good and fine samples there is a steady demand, and
prices are fairly supported. Inferior parcels, however, are
a dull inquiry at drooping currencies. Foreign hops arrive
freely, and the trade for them, except for the finest parcels,
is in a sluggish state.

COLONIAL.
TEA.—The biddings at the public sales have been ani-
mated, and prices continue to be well supported.
SUGAR.—Business has been rather null ; the few bargains
recorded, however, were at about previous prices. In the
refined market quotations are nominally unaltered.
COFFEE.—The operations have been limited to a few
parcels of colonial, which barely sustained former quota-
tions. _ _

RICE.—The market has been dull owing to the high rates
demanded by holders.
TALLOW.—A better tone has prevailed, and quotations
show an upward tendency. P.Y.C. on the spot is marked
435. 6d.; December 435. ; and spring delivery 445. 6d.

WOOL.—The public sales of colonial commenced yester-
day with a large attendance of both home and foreign
dealers, and prices generally exhibited an advance of Id. to
lid. per lb, on Australian and New Zealand, and i per lb.

MURDER OF A CUSTOMS OFFICER AT LIVERPOOL.
—A murder of a shocking nature was committed in
the neighbourhood of Srnithdown-lane, Liverpool,
on Wed-
nesday evening, the victim being a Customhouse officer
named henry Treeby. It appears that, after finishing his
duties for the day, the deceased left the Office at half-past
four in the afternoon on his way homewards. Nothing
was seen or heard of him afterwards until a police officer,
who, about half-past five p.m. was going towards Shiel-
street, discovered the dead body of Treeby lying on the
right-hand side of the pathway. Death had been caused
by suffocation. The face presoutad a livid appearance ;
there was a deep wound over the left eye, and a slight
contusion on the forehead over the nose. Oa the neck,
however, there were evident signs that deceased had been
strangled, as under each ear there was a deep black
mark, while blood issued from the nostrils and mouth.
When the deceased left the Custom House he had in his
possession about £1 7s, a silver watch, and a gold guard ;
but, when he was fella, his pockets had been rifled and his
watch and guard stolen. The deceased generally carried
some Xi i or £l5 about with him, and plunder is supposed
to have been the motive of the murderers. Before leaving
business, Treeby placed upwards of £l4 in a desk in his
office, and it is therefore conjectured that his murderer or
murderers had some knowledge of the amount of money
which he was likely to have With him. The clothes of de-
ceased bore no marks of any severe struggle having taken
place, though the knees of his trousers were covered with
dirt, and his shirt collar and neckcloth much disarranged.
The deceased, who was only 35 years of age, leaves behind
him a wife and five children. Trceby was much liked among
his brother officers, and was known to be a man of a (jut et
and kindly nature.
