During the last few days there has been more
animation in the foreign and colonial produce
markets. Tea has fully maintained previous rates,
while sugars have been actually enquired for at
enhanced prices. Cocoa and coffee have each been
in fair request at full values. For rice the demand
has been steady, without any material change to
record in prices. Saltpetre has been inactive, and
prices have slightly given way. In the tallow mar-
ket business has been dull, at barely previous quo-
tations for both present and forward delivery.
The Don Pedro North Del Rey Gold Mining
Company, with a capital of £lOO,OOO, in shares of
£1 each, has been introduced to the public under
very respectable auspices. Its object is to purchase
and work the gold mines of Brucutu in the Brazils.
The estate is freehold, situated in the centre of a
Populous district, near the mines of the St. John
Del Rey Company, so long celebrated for their im-
mense returns of gold, and the large dividends they
Pay to their shareholders. The purchase of the
Property has been effected on very favourable terms.
A deposit of ss. upon each share applied for, must
be paid to the company's bankers previously to the
application being sent in. This sum will be re-
turned in full if two-thirds of the shares are not
applied for, or if no allotment is made to the
applican t.
