In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
during the last few days there has been only a
limited amount of business entered into. The
Operations in sugar have been on an exceedingly
organ scale pending the alteration in the duties
Which come into operation on the Ist May. Coffee,
however, has been in fair request at steady rates,
"bile in tea, rice, fruit, and spices, only mode-
rate operations have been effected at about
former values. For tallow the inquiries have been
fiery moderate on the part of the trade, and but
little speculative ,business has been reported, quota-
Lions for both present and forward delivery being
Without material alteration.

It is satisfactory to be able to record a conside-
rable improvement in all Governmental Stocks,
ethers following in their wake. This is to be attri-
buted to the increasing confidence felt in the pre-
tent Administration, and the steady purchases made
by investors, among whom the Government broker
has not been the least conspicuous ; his operations
'nay have given some tone to the market, but it is
t.O the buying of the Fublic at large to which the
..11UProvement must be ascribed. Consols closed yes-
terday— at a rise of 4 ; to-day 4 per cent. has been
added to that advance, the latest prices being 914
2r money, and 914 4 for the 7th proximo. The
