The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
during the last few days have been moderately
active, and most of the leading articles have t een
dealt in at steady rates. Tea has been dull, and
until the delivery of the letters by the Overland
Mail to-morrow little alteration can be expeeted in
the market. Sugar has been in fair demend, more
particularly good grocery descriptions fit far home
consumption. In the refined market also a rather
large business has been done, and at fully late
values. Coffee has been steady,
and good coloury

qualities of Plantation Ceylon have ,
values. Rice has be?n dull, as also saltpetre. The
Public sales of colonial wool continue to proceed
with animation, and the rates current at. the (Tell-
ing of the series aro fully sup eorted . Tallow has
been rather firmer. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted

ad , and town t tllow 465. Gd. to 46'. 9d. per cwt.
The operations in the bullion department of the
Bink of England continue limited, but it is fully
believed that a fair proportion of the 303,0001.
brought by the Heather Bell will be added to the
Stock f precious metals. The demand for exporta-
tion to the East and als3 to Francs is very quiet
and likely to continue so, in consequence of the
alteration in the exchanees. The latest advises
from America report a slight advance in the quota-
tions for 60 days' bills, and there is some proba-
bility of mederate remittances being received from
that country,
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday clased
with a heavy aspect, and prices of all kinds were
unchanged. The_ sales were estimated at from
7,000 to 8,000 bales, 500 of which were taken for
export, and 500 on speculation.
At the meeting of the Cobra Copper Company
to-day a dividend of 11. per eh tre was declared for
the half year.
The general demand for discount continues with-
out alteration, and the terms are still fully iper
Cent. below the minimum. Early nex week, how-
ever, there is likely to be more activity among
the bankers, &c., owing to the numerous pay-
Ments for which provision has to be made.
A. dividend of ls. Gd. per share is recommended
by the directors of the Mariqeita and Nttw Granada
Mining Company.
Trade
.iu France is progressing steadily, and
dining the last fortnight operations among the
manufacturing interest have increased in conse-
quence of some large American orders.
With regard to business in this country, it may
also be asserted that there are indications of ina-
raluvement in most departments. Occasional
lutes are announced, but they are not of general
IThe mportance, and are principally for small amounts.

bec coesidered healthy ; and while speculation

the anticipation of any serious disasters.
