Continued activity prevails in discount circles
owing to the preparations for bills maturing at the
end of the week, as business will be partially closed
during the holidays. There are also heavy engage-
ments to be liquidated in connection with the
settlement at the Stock Exchange to-morrow, and
these have very largely increased the demand for
accommodation. There is, however, a good supply
of money on offer, and the rates remain at 51 and
6 per cent. for the best bills.

During the last few days there has been little
tactivity exhibited in the markets for foreign and
colonial produce. Sugars have been dull, at abcut
previous rates. For coffee there has been a fair in-
quiry, and superior descriptions have maintained
fully former rates. Rice has been on limited
favour without material alteration in value, while a
large speculative business has been done on tallow,
and quotations have fluctuated to some extent.
