COLONIAL.

TEA.—At the public sales the quantity offered consisted
chiefly of scented descriptions, and prices went heavily at
barely late rates.
SUGARS.—There has been no change of importance in
the general market, and prices are unaltered. In the re-
fined market steady rates have been realised for dried goods.
COFFEE.—A fair inquiry has been experienced for both
foreign and colonial, and late quotations are firmly sup-
ported. The stocks on hand compared with those of the
same perio'l last year show very little variation.
RICE.—The dealings have been moderate, and quota-
tions have undergone no change of importance.
SALTPETRE.—Very few dealings have been entered into,
and there is no change to note in values.

business doing. P.Y.C. on the spot 595. 9d., April to June
figs. to 588. 6d., and last three months 565. per cwt.
