The Marketsfor ForeignClTY and Colonial Produce
during the last few days have shown rather less
activity ; most of the principal staples, however,
have fully supported previous values. There has
been a steady inquiry for tea at full prices. Sugars
met a fair demand, but in some instances
at slightly reduced rates. For coffee there
has been a steady inquiry, and at the
first public sale of plantation Ceylon
since the Christmas holidaYs full prices were ob-
tained. The dealings in rice, fruit, and spices have
been moderately active, at late values. Saltpetre
has been dealt in to a moderate extent, and
although large arrivals have taken place, prices
have been steadily maintained. In the tallow
market there has been very little activity, although
yesterday more firmness prevailed, and prices were
a shade higher.
Although the bullion operations at the Bank
have been unimportant during the last few days, a
considerable quantity of gold has been purchased
for the continent, including the remittances by the
Anglesey, Lew Chew, and the Tyne. As the export
wand continues active further withdrawals from
the Bank of England may soon be reported, unless
fresh Australian supplies are quickly received. By
the advices which arrived yesterday, however, it
appears that a considerable quantity is coming for-
ward from Victoria, comprising £120,000 by the
Water Nymph, £60,000 by the, Sussex, £128,000
by the Donald M'Kay, and £58,000 by the Com-
modore Perry.
