good business was done at higher prices.
The transactions in produce have this week been on a
moderate scale, and almost exclusively for consumption.

owing to the perseverance of the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer in his plan for equalising the duties, have been
in request at higher rate.s, Ceylon, for the same cause,
having a declinicg tendency. The more useful descrip-
tions of Tea have been sought after. Tallow has been
quiet. Cotton has been held with tolerable firmness.

are endeavouring to treat with the French Government
for concessions in the making of lines, the Paris and
Lyons for example, upon reduced terms, and without the
slightest regard to the interest of the original subscribers
in former companies, who have some amount of caution
money at stake. The known justice of the French Govern-
ment, it is to be hoped, will discourage such unwhole_
some competition, the very attempt at Khicb should deter
capitalists here, whether large or small, from lendiu,
their aid.
