COLONIAL.

TEA.—The public sales, which commenced on Tuesday,
were brought to a conclusion yesterday. About 18,400
packages were offered, of which 13,893 were sold. Prices
gonoi ally remained steady.
SUGAR.— A fair amount of business has been transacted
in West India, and superior descriptions are fully 6d. per
cwt. dearer. In the refined market full rates are also cur-
rent.
COFFEE.—The market is only moderately supplied with
superior qualities, and there is a fair inquiry for colonial,
at full values.
tircz.—B usiness has remained very quiet, no public sales
having been held. Quotations, however, are firm.
TALLOW—The market is flat. P.Y.C. on the spot is
quoted 43s ; all the year, 43s ; and spring delivery, 43s 6d
per cwt.
GREEN FRUlT—Market somewhat dull, with lower prices
for oranges. Some parcels from Lisbon, Spain, Sicily, and
Gibraltar, sold by Keeling and Hunt at public sale, went
at easier rates. Messina and Malaga lemons in character.
French chosnuts have opened at a moderate price, and cold
weather in favour of sale. Almeria grapes are being sold
in character with condition and quality. Para and Barce-
lona nuts without alteration.

Liverpool Cotton Market.—This Day.

➢iarket firm. Sales probably 15,000 bales or
more.

A Cabinet Council was held yesterday at the
official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury,
in Downing-street. The Ministers present were
the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Marlborough, the
Earl of Malmesbury, the Right llon. Gathorne
Hardy, Lord Stanley, the Duke of Buckingham and
Chandos, Sir John Pakingtou, Sir S. Northcote,
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Right lion.
H. T. L. Corry, the Duke of Richmond, Lord J.
Manners, and the Earl of Mayo.
At a meeting of the shareholders of the China
Steamship and Labuan Coal Company a proposition
was made to wind up the company, which was
strenuously opposed. The meeting has not con-
cluded, hut apparently the opposition will be suc-
cessful from the general feeling displayed.
LEEDS, sth.—The cloth halls this morning were
moderately well attended by both buyers and sellers.
Among the buyers were the representatives of a few
London, Manchester, and • other large houses, but
they acted with caution, purchasing small selections
of goods rather than any considerable quantity of
any. In some instances heavy goods were sold at a
slight reduction from recent prices, manufacturers
being anxious to get quit of their stocks. Ordinary
plain goods maintained late quotations, as did also
tweeds, for which the demand, though good, is
not quite so brisk as we lately had to report.
There is no alteration in the price of wool, but in
a local point of view not much business is doing.
The flax trade is dull, and prices are rather un-
settled.
ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY.—At the evening
meeting on Monday next, after the president's opening
remarks, Mr. 0. R. Markham will read a paper on
, Pyrtugueso Kapeditim ty Abyegailk."
