THE PRODUCE MARKET

(From Joseph Ttavers and Son's Weekly Circular.)
The produce markets continue on the whole with a
healthy tone, and have been further strengthened by the
change in the rats of discount, which is likely to induce
helders to refuse to make any unprofitable sales.
Tea—The market for this aaticle has been remarkably
dull, and transactions have been few and unimportant.
Prices, nominally, remained unaltered. From the trade
the inquiry is limited. We invito the attention of large
buyers to our special quotations in lots, which we offer at
he closest possible prices.

Coffee-1n the face of heavy sales advertised for next
week, the market has closed with extreme firmness. Prices
of all descriptions manifest an upward tendency; and in
some cases finer kinds of Plantation show an advance. Na-
tive Ceylon sellE at 70s Gd to 71s for good ordinary, 72s to
74s Gd for fine. Purchases of the later hare been made to
a good extent.

Sugar—Raw—A good business has taken place, and
pr,ces have been strongly supported. Brown descriptions
Are about Gd dearer. Good grocery qualities from 37s
to 40s. are pleantiful and cheap, and steadily main_
rain their value. Fine raw sugar is not to be obtained.
Übe public sales have been as follows :—Colonial West
India-892 hogsheads, 53 tierce, 134 Barbadoes, low heavy
33s 6d to 345, good grocery 37s to 40s 6d , 167 hogsheads,
33 tierces, 55 barrels Jamaica, good grey 34s to 355, good
yellow 36s to 37s ; 134 hogsheads, 100 barrels St. Vincent;

117 barrels Tobago, 32s to 35s 6d ; 36 hogsheads, 780

3.5 s for strong brown. Foreign-722 hogsheads, 319 barrels

India, Mauritius, &c-135 bags Benares, good yellow 41s ;
450 bags Native Madras, 29s to 30s 6d ; 4,500 bags grocery
Madras, grainy 36s Gd to 40s 6d, yellow syrups 34s to 37s
Gd; 2,298 mats Mauritius, 288 6d to 30s for brown, 40s to
42s Gd for semi-grain yellow. Refined—No further ad-
vance has taken place in this market, but the demand is
well maintained, and the present supplies being short, the
value of all kinds is firmly upheld. The inquiry from the
country fully equals that of last week.
Fruit—Currants—Only a moderate business has been
done, and prices are rather easier ; we quote 6d lower for
common only. Valencias remain unaltered. There have
been no public sales. Accounts from the currant districts
promise an extraordinarily early and very fine crop.
" Zante, July 15, 1862 —We beg to confirm our last report
6f Ist inst., to which we have only to add, that we have had
since then fine hot forcing weather, which has greatly
benefited our currants. Some partial gatherings in early
localities are likely to take place by the end of the month,
but we do not think that the first cuttings will be genral
