The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
during the last few days have presented a rather
dull aspect, consequent upon the unfavourable state
of the weather. Only moderate dealings have been
reported in sugar at about previous rates. Opera-
tions in tea have been delayed until the public sales,
which commence on Tuesday next. For superior
qualities of coffee there has been an active inquiry
at full rates ; while in rice, fruit, and spices no
material alteration can be reported in values. Tal-
low has been in good demand at full values.
