TEA MARKET.

A good amount of business has been done, but owing to the
public sale on Monday, of about five millions and a-half
pounds, nut so much as there would otherwise have been.
Prices are now 3d. to 4d. per lb. advance. Some of the
great holders have given thPir brokers directions not to sell free
trade Congous under 3s. 6d. Company's Congou are worth
3s. to 30. .cash, and 35. to 3s. 1/d., one month's prompt.
Country orders are coming up fast, and prices are confidently
expected to be much higher.
COLONIAL MARKETS.

No public sales of mement, every body being engaged in
Tea. Brit sh Plantation Sugar flat, but maintains former
prices. 5500 bags Manilla, a mixed parcel, sold at 14s. to
18s. for fair quality ; 5,300 bags Java Rice, a low parcel,
sold on the average at about 7s. ; about 600 bales of Cotton
sold fiat, but maintained former rates. We had no
Coffee in the market for public sale worth the least notice;
privately prices of this article are looking up. There was no
certain price for rum, as there was nothing doing. On the
whole, during the week the amount of business done has been
♦ery moderate, and prices steady. Imports remain light.
