In the foreign and colonial produce markets,
during the last few days, there has been very little
business transacted. Sugar has sold slowly at
slightly reduced prices, while coffee has also been in
very moderate request at barely late rates. Rice,
however, has been in great demand, but the high
prices current have in some measure curtailed ope-
rations. Tallow has been in moderate request at
steady prices for both present and forward delivery
