During the last few days a moderate business has
been transacted in the markets for foreign and
colonial produce, and in some instances prices have
been well maintained. Sugars, however, were a
shade flatter. Coffee con ti' cued in good demand,
and the finer qualities imps Dyed 6d. to ls. per cwt.
Tea, however, was flat, an cl at public sale prices
declined ld. per lb. for most descriptions. Rice
Was in active request and brought full rates ; and
there has been a steady inquiry for fruit. Saltpetre
Continued in moderate demand, at about former
rates ; but tallow exhibite(l. a downward movement.
A very limited business ha been transacted for con-
sumption, and the speculative dealings have been
unimportant.
Letters from Liverpool report that the Catton
Market yesterday closed vith a quiet appearance,
and about 7,000 bales wel disposed of at previous
rates. In the Railway S Imre Market rather less
firmness prevailed, and the business transacted was
also on a limited scale.
There is still an active demand for discount ac-
commodation, notwithstanding the advance in
the rates, the requirements of the commercial pub-
lic being very extensive.
Tenders have been invited for a further issue of

bentures will be delivera'ble on the 30th upon the
PaYment of the balance due thereon, and the same
arrangement will be adopted as on the previous
Ssues of these securities.
