TEA.--A moderato amount of business has been done,
but without any change in values. A small quantity of
Indian produce is announced for public sale on Tuesday

next.

SuaAn.—Business has remained very inactive, and at
pnblic sale late rates have been barely maintained. Re-
fined goods meet a very limited demand, common tillers
being quoted 43s 6d per cwt.

COFFEE.—There is a fair inquiry for plantation Ceylon,
and good qualities realise full values. Other descriptions
have been dealt in to a very moderate extent, at about
previous rates.

RICE.—No business of importance has been reported.
Floating cargoes have been inquired for, chiefly for ex-
portation, but dealings hare been checked by the high
rates asked by holders.

TALLOW.—The market is very quiet, without any change
to note :in quotations, P.Y.C., on the spot, being 44s 9d
to 455., and 45s 9d for last three months' delivery.

dearer. Sales probably 15,000 bales.

Pigeon Shooting.

GUN CLUB.

On Thursday, notwithstanding the very unpleasant
appearance of the weather, a large number of the sporting
fraternity mustered in the shooting ground of the above
club, the great event of the day being the Free Handicap
of £5 each, for which no less than 240 gentlemen had
agreed to contend ; but, owing to a greater portion of them
not coming at the time appointed, it was agreed to post-
pone it for an hour, during which time Mr. Rudd and Mr.
F. Norris shot a match at 30 yards rise, five birds each.
Both missed their first birds, then each killed three and
missed their last. In shooting off, Mr. Rudd won at his
first bird.

A sweepstake was then formed, in which'24 competed at
three birds each, and the money was ultimately divided
between Major Longley 25}, and Hon. R. U. Hill. As the
weather began to break a few more gentlemen came on to
the ground, and in a short time Mr. Battcock, the handi-
capper, ordered the scorer to call the first name for the
FREE HANDICAP.-Out of the 240 entered, only 34 were
up to time, and they having to shoot at half a dozen birds
each, it is useless to go into the details of the shooting.
Suffice it to say that at the finish of the sixth round Major
Longley, 25f, and Lord Stormont, 26, had each killed six
each, and in shooting off Lord Stormont missed a rattling
good bird, and Major Longley killing well with his second
barrel took the first prize of £BO, and Lord Stormont the
second of £25. Three were now left in to contend for the
third prize, £l5, and it was eventually taken by Lyslie
Lyslie, 25i, who killed three in succession. The betting
was very heavy, at 7 to 4 and 2 to 1 on gun, which had
the best of it by 30 birds.
