COLONIAL MARKETS.
'merchandise
The primary commodities in this groat department of —0, id
must be regarded as still declining in value. The market is lifei.6
operations continue limited to the pressing necessities or buyeriting to
day we had large sales of Mauritius and Bengal Sugar, :ml°l
nn sold
15,000 bags of the former and 8,200 of the latter ; part and
indeed, no large sales of any kind can now be accoMplisu
the
prices, where altered, are again lower ; and indeed, during
whole week, th• value of all kinds of raw and refined
to Sugar,
except foreign, has been on the decline. It is difficult s33r
the precise decline, but in some kinds It has been rather eonsl,
derable. Buyings in have been frequent through the week. B.o*
Sugar sells languidly, and like every other kind of Sugar, except Foreign, declines in worth. Coffee of all kinds, both our own and Fo-
reign, is declining. To-day, we have no public sales of this commodity.
Tea, is quiet but firm, and that too in the face of the approaching sale.:
Rice is easier, and so is Indigo. Indeed, with the exception of SPice'
and Ruin, all commodities, in the market, are either lower, or inclined t°
be so. The imports, to-day, are slender.
The principal sales advertised for next week of Colonial produce
at present, are those of 'Wool.

equal all others in humour, variety, and richness of
genius, he undoubtedly surpasses every other naval writerey
force of style, richness of descriptive power, and a certain
