HAY MARKETS.

Supplies moderate, and the demand good : prices the same
as last quoted.
TEA MARKET.

Nothing doing of any consequence; still the holders gene-
rally were very firm and confident of a further advance. Never
were any commercial news more anxiously looked for than the
next intelligence from Canton.
WOOL MARKET.

Most of the Foreign Wool put up at the public sales has been
bought in. The Colonial sorts sold briskly, the dull state of
the manufactuaing districts considered, and previous prices con-
tinue to be paid. Colonial Wool comes to market in good and
improving condition.
TALLOW MARKET.

Great quiet reigns in this extentive department of business,
and the price of the P. Y. C. is 495, 3d._

COLONIAL MARKET.

There was no great business done, nor any new trait discern-
ible. B.P. Sugar sold quietly, and prices are much as
before. 3,000 bags Mauritius sold at its former value.
In fact, the Sugar market is very steady. We had some
Coffee put up to public sale, 3,400 bags St. Domingo, 9d duty,
403 of E. 1., some Berbice and Mocha ; the whole did not
sell, and prices were altered, were easier, and the market
more quiet. 1,100 bags Bengal Rice fetched 145., and 14s. 6d.
for the hest quality. Saltpetre, 3,500 bags, sold in part, at
225. 6d. to 235. A small parcel of Black Pepper went at 31d.
