BOROUGH HOP.
There is a fair inquiry for good and useful hops of last
year's growth, at full prices ; but all other kinds are a dull
sale, at barely late rates.

COLONIAL.
TEA.—At public sale there was a good attendance of the
trade, although the actual quantity sold was not large,
Former quotations were in most instances fully main-
tained.
SUGAR.—There was a very moderate business transacted
privately, and as holders still continue to demand fall
rates, buyers are acting with caution. In the Refined
Market a further reduction of 6d per cwt. may be quoted,
but there is little business doing. Good lumps sell for
54s to 55s ; and common, 53s 6d ; and good pieces, 461 per
c wt.
COFFEE. —The demand for Plantation Ceylon for home
consumption is still good, and a few small parcels have
realised full prices. Bengal and Mocha descriptions are at
about previous quotations.
•IldeE.—A very limited business has been reported, and
at public sale the greater part of the quantity offered was
bought in at somewhat under previous rates.
Rum—There is a vary good inquiry for the better quali-
ties, and previous values have been fully sustained.

FRUIT. —There is a very limited demand for currants,
but prices remain firm, and the clearances are large.
SALTPETRE.—!L very limited busines has been done, the
sales havinc, been confined to a few lots of good qualities
at fully lateb rates.
TALLOW. —The market is strong; P. Y. C. on the spot rules
at 36s ; April to June, 54s ; and last three months, 521
61 per cwt.
GREEN FILUIT,—The change of weather has improved
the consumption. Three cargoes of St. Michael oranges,
sold t.y Keeling and Hunt at public sale, were taken freely
by the trade. More inquiry for lemons, and a better de.
mend for nuts of all kinds. Seville sours scarce, and se.
per chest higher.
