QUARTER TO THREE.

The state of the commercial markets this week does
not call for much remark. As Christmas approaches,
business in produce is narrowed. The heaviest sales have
been those of Tea, and we are promised more in
a few days. Although the holders, therefore, make a
show of firmness, they cannot abstain from realizing.
Coffee participates in the heaviness of • Tea, but
Sugars keep up their price. Abroad mercantile mat-
ters, as the reported failures prove, are not in
a very satisfactory state, but the accounts to-day from
Hungary are cheering. The union of Austria with the
German Customs' League, is seriously adverted to in the
accounts from Hamburgh to-day.

the majority of the inhabitants.
