.COLONX/131.

SCGAR.—The market for British plantation is rather dull,
and only about 400 hhds have found buyers, inclusive of
those sold by auction. The public sales have contained
128 casks Barbadoes, 184 casks 48 barrels St. Lucia, 191
barrels St. Lucia Molasses, 12,000 bags 89 casks Mauritius
Sugar, and 4,379 bags Bengal. Only part of the West
India was disposed of at about former prices, viz. mid
to good yellow Barbadoes at 58s to 63s Gd, and
strong good grayish brown to good yellow St. Lucia
at 56s to 61s, being about previous prices. The Molasses
were taken in at 22s for mid quality, but subsequently dis-
posed of at 21s. All the Mauritius sold at 45s to 55s for low
to fine brown, and low to fine yellow at 55s Gd to 665, which
are, in some instances, rather below the rates obtained on
Friday week, but generally about the previous value ; only
about one half the Bengal found buyers at lower
prices for the inferior descriptions, whilst the better sorts
of Benares brought higher rates. The quantity of British
Plantation landed last week at the East and West India Docks
was 2,239 hhds 275 tierces 630 barrels, and there were taken
for home consumption 1,566 hhds 149 tierces 430 barrels.
The stock in the same places is 11,276 hhds 1,683 tierces
1,925 barrels.

COFFEE.-754 bags Ceylon, 100 bales Mocha, and 160
bags Bahia have been offered by auction. The Ceylon sold
readily at 52s 6d to 54s for good ordinary quality, being
the extreme value. Tha Mocha and Bahia were taken in,
the former at 68s for common mixed quality, and the latter at
30s to 42s for mixed good ord to fine ord, which prices are
also above the value.

em.—The quantity landed last week at the East and
West India Docks was 417 puns 22 hhds ; there were taken
for home consumption 103 puns 30 hhds ; and exported 75 puns
30 hhds. The stock in the same places is 9,619 puns 1,760 hhds.
Rim-2,592 bags East India, chiefly Bengal. The
Bengal found buyers, but at rather lower prices, viz., 1 Is to
Ils 6d for mid white; low and mid white Siam were taken
in at Os 6d.

TALLOW.—P.Y.C. is steady at 41s to 41s 6d per cwt on
the spot; and Town at 43s 6d per cwt.
TEA.—The market has been quiet since our last, the deli-
veries for consumption however being good.
Ctxxamos.-2,067 bales are declared, of which 951 passed
yesterday, about one-third selling. First quality realised
4s ld to 6s; second, 3s 5d to 4s Ild; and third, 2s 8d to 4s

There have been some additional letters and papers deli-
vered this morning from Canada and the United States. We

are glad to find that the prospects of the agriculturists in our
British North American colonies are favourable, as the fol-
lowing extract from A Quebec journal states :—" The
grain crops are, however, still short, but they have
assumed a deeper green. It 'is time they should be freed
from weeds. Spring wheat, which, in the earliest seasons, was
sometimes in ear on the 29th June, will not be in ear for a week
or a fortnight after that date. Some fall wheat grown last
year on the Ohio, was sown in this vicinity on the 12th
October last. It is now in ear and luxuriant. Some field
rye, which happened to be among the wheat,. was in ear a
fortnight ago, and is now full six feet in height. Some fields
of barley are in ear, and field peas in blossom. Some of the
wheat fly have been seen. It is their lavce or worm depo-
sited in the ears of grain that has caused the ruin of the
crops, for ten or twelve years past, and been more fatal to the
country than the cholera, and greedy ambitious and trading
politicians. The oats and peas look well. The early sown
potatoes are ready for earthing up, or the last hoeing. They
have partially missed in some fields. The hay has improved.
The forests are now in their greatest luxury, but the last of
the flowering trees and shrubs have parted with their greatest
beauty till another season. It has again rained heavily all
this forenoon, but it will do no injury to the crops."
A large quantity of timber had arrived at Montreal and
Quebec by the freshets. In its shipment to Great Britain
a great degree of activity was observable. The commercial
letters from the United States differ but little from the ac-
counts before received. In short, there is scarcely an item
in them beyond what appeared in yesterday's Sun, as ob-
tained by express from Liverpool.
The Funds have dropped a trifle this morning, the Ota-
heite affair continuing to be a subject of conversation, though
we do not think of alarm. The Commissioners bought 10,0001.
Reduced Three per Cents. at 100. Consols for money are
firm at 994. For the Account the price was dropped to 991.
Exchequer Bills are a shade lower, the premium being 775.
only. Bank Stock is now at 200, and the Reduced Three-
and-a-Ilalf per Cents. at 1031.
It appears from an additional correspondence, made pub-
lic yesterday 'afternoon, that has taken place between the
Committee of the South American Bondholders and the
financial agents of the Mexican Government, that as yet the
latter have not received remittances enough to pay the divi-
dend, but that when they have sufficient, the liquidation will
be advertised. After so many good amounts have come
over from Mexico, the Bondholders did expect that
there were ample means in hand to effect the object they of
course so much wish. Mexican Bonds have fallen from 361
to 35k,. Spanish Three per Cents. are heavy at 331 ; the
Actives at 224 ; the Belgian Bonds at 1031 ; the Portuguese
Converted at 431 ; and the Dutch Five per Cents., at 101 i.
Brazilian Bonds have been quoted at 841.
The Share Market has not been firm this morning. Se-
veral of the Railway Shares have receded a shade. London
and Westminster Bank Shares are at 71 premium.
