TILE PRODTME MARKET.

(From Joseph 2 ravers and Son' Bweekly Circular of Oct. 20.
The Produce Markets this week have been firm, without 1
material alteration in prices, the continuance of an active
demand in the Money Market having tended to check '
speculative operations.
TEA.—The mail arrived on the 16th, announcing that, at
last, offensive operations had commenced at the Psillo ;
but that up to the leaving of the mail the allied troops had
met with but little resistance. The grand attac at the
Taku forts was expected to take place the next day.
We have bad large public sales this week, which com-
menced on the 16th and concluded on the 18th. 40,028
packages were offered, 17,526 of which were sold, 8,771
being printed without reserve. The sales throughout pro-
ceeded with firmness, and an advance in medium Congou
and all kinds of greens of ,d. to Id. per lb. may be quoted.
The result has been to establish a decidedly better feeling
in the market.
COFFEE.—There has not been a public sale of any de-
scription of this article during the week ; privately business
has been unimportant, buyers waiting the offers of new ar-
rivals, which are heavy. Native Ceylon is slightly easier-

KNICKERBOCKER PANTS. Newly designed and
registered by Messrs. Browne and Payne, the cele-
brated trousers cutters of Saekville-street,
From a diagram which we have seen of this design, we
have no hesitation in recommending the Knickerbockers to
the attention of gentlemen frequenting the Moors during
the shooting season, and also to those sojourners at the
Lakes, as the utility of this design consists, in the protec-
tion afforded from the knee down in walking through high
grass, and uniting in one garment both trousers and
leggings. In rifle practice, this invention of Browne and
Payne supersedes the knee-cap, whia,
cided advantage and improvement. in itself, is a de-
