I❑ the Produce Markets there has been a fair busi-
ness dune this week. Sugar is somewhat cheaper,
Coffee is is favour, and not so much has been done.
Rice is heavy. Tea has been taken to a moderate ex-
tent. RAW materials used for manufacturing purposes
have commanded a good sale, and Cotton is even dearer.
The coniumption of the latter i 3 proceeding at a great
rate, and is likely to extricate the speculators from
their embarasstnent.

A Government contract for 50,000 gallons of rum is
aunt tweed.

The following figures are compi;ed from a Parlia-
mrntary return, and show the quantity of British ma-
nufactures of Cotton, including twist and yarn, exported
from the United Kingdom to all parts of the world:—

Hamburgh advices of last Inlay quote the exchange
on Lyndon at 13.4, being firm. Stocks were supported.
C .ffee was quiet, but at folly previous rates. Wheat was
in smaller supply and at 1 to 2 rix dollars hightr.
At Amsteroam on the 20th inst. Dutch Stocks had a
more favourable tendency. Spanish Bonds were firm,
sod Mex.can ratber better.
The failure of Messrs. Fraser and Lightfoot, in the
East lud)a trade, has been announced. The liabilities
are stated at about 50,0001. with good assets. There is
a rumour also of another house at Liverpool being weak.
By the suspension of Messrs. Csstelli, Cardinal Wise-
man is reported to be a great loser, but we believe only
in his capacity as ttustee.

The English Funds are very steady again, but busi-
ness is exceed ingly in- ctive. Consuls have realised 96*
for Transfer, and 96* I for Account. The New Three-
and•a-Quarter per Cents. have b'en quoted 99 to I. and
the Three per Cents. 97* to j. Bink Stock has been at
215 to 2152. Exchequer-bills are 45a. to 483. prem.
The Foreign Market has been dull likewise, but ge-
nerally firm. Spanish Three per Cents. are weaker,
being 37i to 381, but the Five per Cents. are nominally
supported at 21 to Sardinian Scrip is to discount
Mexican Bonds have been at 281 to 29, an improvement.
of about f. Dutch Four per Cents. bring 92i.
Railway Shares are supported, but with very little
doing.
