dente amount of business transacted in the Foreign

maintained previous rates, while the same may be
said of coffee and rice. In saltpetre there has been
little or no business, and tea has been neglected.
Tallow has been in moderate request, at steady
rates, for both present and forward delivery.

and Mr. Rankley, the master of the workhouse, has been
duly admonished as to his future conduct in the discharge
of his duties.
