BOROUGH HOP.

A tolerably active business is passing in the market for
good and fine new hops ; but inferior qualities—the supply
of which is large—moves off heavily, at barely stationary
prices. Well-kept old hops command full currencies.

TEA,—The dealings have notCOLONIAL been very extensive. At
public dale the biddings were languid, but superior descrir
tions maintained previous prices.
SUGAR.—There has been very little animation. Full
rates, however, are current for good grocery descriptions,
but inferior qualities are a shade cheaper. In the Refined
Market prices generally have slightly given way.
COFFEE.—Colonial descriptions have been in moderate
favour, at full prices, particularly for superior descriptions
of plantation Ceylon. In other qualities there has been
little change to record in values.
RlCE.—Only a moderate amount of business has been
done, but previous quotations are sustained for the better
descriptions of East India.
SALTPETRE.—Business has been very inactive, and the
few bargains recorded were at about former rates.
TALLOW.—There has been rather more animation, and
the dealings for both present and forward delivery have
been at slightly enhanced quotations.
