MARKET 8-7 MS DAY.

COTTON.
LIVERPOOL, October 6.—Sales probably 10,000 bales.
Market quiet and unchanged.

HAY AND STRAW.

Supplies are quite adequate to demand. Wheat is dull.
Meadow hay, 75s to 100 s ; clover, 80s to 1265. Straw, 28s
to 32s per load.

COLONIAL AND FOREIGN PRODUCE.

Sugar.—The late imports have added perceptibly to the
stocks, which are now 91,300 tons against 101,500 tons
last year at this time. The deliveries, too, have fallen off,
and the effect is to render buyers more cautious in their
operations. For refined sugars the market was opened
with a very limited inquiry, and although sales are not
pressed at any apparent decline, the tendency is in favour
of buyers.

Coffee—The statistics of this week continue very favour-
able. The deliveries are large, and have further reduced
the stock to 25,000 tons, against 21,000 tons last year.
Our stock represents only 15 weeks' requirements, at the
present scale of deliveries, whilst that last year repre-
sented 17 weeks' requirements at that time. It follows
that, relatively, our supply is less ample now than it was
then. The market is steady, with a fair inquiry,
floating, as well as ou the spot, and a cargo of Rio has
been sold for Antwerp at 36s 101 d.

Tea.—There is some demand for fine now season's teas
at 2s 6d, but the general market is quiet.
Rum.—Stock, 29,300 puncheons, against 31,500 pun-
cheons last year. The market is firm.

Her Majesty's ship Falcon, 17 guns, Commander
H. L. Percival, was dismantled and paid off at
Woolwich dockyard on Saturday last.

THE COLLISION BETWEEN THE WARRIOR AND THE
ROYAL OAK. —DEYONTUILT, Oct. s.—After lasting four
days the Court-martial on Captain Boys, the commander
of the Warrior, for paving damaged and hazarded the
Warrior and the Ito* Oak, by causing the collision that
occurred between the two vessels on the night of the 14th
of August last, was brought to a close to-day. The Court
considered the charge not proved, and acquitted Captain
Boys.

THE ROMANCE OF THE PEERAGE.—The Commis-
sioners of Greenwich Hospital have ejected the
lady calling herself the Count,iss of Derwontwater from
Dilston Castle, which she had taken possession of with
her retainers as the alleged heiress of the extensive Der-
wentwater estates, in the county of Northumberland. The
last report was that the lady and her followers were en-
camped immediately adjacent to Dilston, with a view to a
re-entry if possible.
THE TEA TRADE.—Oct. 5, 18G8.—The deliveries
in London midi up for the woek were 3,356,8961 b., being
a decrease of 406,11.11 b. as compared with the previous

week.
