• TWO O'CLOCK.
No alteration to notice, and but little business doing.
QUARTER TO THREE.
The transactions in the Produce Markets this week
have not generally been favourable to the seller's, though
an average business has been done. Sugar has fallen,
which, indeed, it may well do if the poorer classes (we
might almost include those of the middling sphere too)
ere to have any of the comforts of life at all. The con-
sumption of the article has been decreasing this year,
another proof of the loss entailed on the revenue by the
high prices. Then, again, while the community at large
are suffering, and will suffer still more yet, by the advance
in corn, the national income does not benefit, as most of
the foreign wheat will come in at a lower rate, no doibt,
than that proposed by Ministers as a permanent duty,
viz., Bs. per quarter. Tea has been steadier this week,
and, for the sake of the consumers, we are
glad to see that the advance has gone no further. Tal-
low, as the season advances, excites more.attention, and
Cotton is falling, both here and at Liverpool, owing to
the stagnation in our manufactures.
Consols, Account, 89. ; Colombian, 20* ; Mexican,
25i26k ; Spanish 19k 20k.
Not the least business doing.
