TWO O'CLOCK.

Both Markets are looking very firm.
QUARTER TO THREE.
Upon glancing at the result of the transactions in the pro-
duce markets this week, we are gratified at being enabled to
notice an improvement, not only in regard to prices, but also as
respects the extent of business done. Sugar has risen Is to Is. 6d.
per, cwt. Coffee has been firm. Tea has been higher, though as
is always the case after much speculation, it is now down again
slightly, and Indigo has been going off brisker liithin the last
day or two. As an art so entirely dependent upon our manufac-
turing prosperity, it could not be expected that the latter would
improve, when our export trade is so low, and we only wish
we could speak as favourably of our dry-goods business as we
can of raw produce not consumed in manufactories.
The return of finer weather appears to have made the Funds
and the Money Market generally more buoyant. The appear-
ance of the harvest is now " all in all" with commercial men.
