The Produce markets having been closed since Friday,

ig have arrived since this day week, and the stock
shows an increase over that of last year of 59,621
a bags. Holders of Foreign free-labour Sugar enter-
-716 tain a favourable opinion towards it, and supply the
54 Market sparingly. There are several purchasers of Ma-
-1
nilla rather under former rates, but holders refusing to
6 sell thereat, check business ; good yellow is worth 19s
14
3}l. to 19s 6d per 0141, Java cannot be purchased but at full
i rates. There are, however, not many buyers at present.
t The stock is a small one.

FOREIGN.—Holders of all descriptions still manifest
ri% firmness, and supply the market sparingly. In Haven-
nah there has been little business transacted, but mer-
-53" chants will not sell excepting at very full rates ; if they
434 would take rather lower prices, it would be the cause of
several parcels of yellow finding purchasers. There are
s 1 not many orders for Brazil at present, but previous rates
17 are fully supported; there are buyers of white and brown
it rather under former quotations.
COFFEE.—For the mid descriptions of West India
several inquiries hue existed, and the supply being
AnPill, fOr.tner rates are fully supported. Holders of East
India show firmness, and the market has been sparingly
supplied with all descriptions. Previous rates are fully sup-
ported for Ceylon, and a fair business has been transacted
by private contract in good ordinary at 52s to 52s 6d per
cwt. To Plantation kinds the operations are upon a
more extended scale at former terms. There are pur-
chasers of Mocha rather under former rates. The
stock is 1,017 bales more than it was last season. Qttier
kinds of East India are not offered upon lowcf lei•g4, and
there is nothing pressing for sale.
Rum, BRANDY, AND. 1.104441pg.-.-_---All increased desir'
has ec4 shown to purchase Leeward 'slaw! —gum ;
holders are firm, and at 2.4 3d to 2s 3-1,1 per gallon proof
a good business has een transacted. In Calcutta the
operations are upon a more extocied scale at 2s 2d to
2s 21d, proof with Certifitiate. In Demerara sales to a
fair extent have been made at 3s to 3s ad for strong
derciptiqns. The market for Jamaica is, however, in a
very dull state. For Leeward Island Rum prices are 4d
to 6d, and for ilittnaica 9d to is per gall above those of that
time, The Brandy market bus a firm appearance, and
there bas been a good deal dying l all descriptions.

)h, MARKET NEWS.-(YESTERDAY.)
CORN EXCHANGE.
o Owing to the thick weather and contrary winds, we
13'. continue to be very scantily supplied with all descrip-
tions of Grain, consequently very little business is doing
011 in any article. Scarcely any English Wheat was on
63., show, and the few sales effected in it were at prices
fully equal to those obtained on Monday. In fine
Foreign Wheat a fair business was doing, at late rates.
yri There was a few runs of Barley on sale, by land-car-
s% riage samples, and which were held at full prices. The
6
6 trade, however, was by no means brisk. Scarcely any
234 Oats at market; these, as well as Beans and Peas, were
unaltered in value.

V This being a holiday market, the supply of beasts
offering was very limited, but fully equal to meet the
.., wants of the butchers. In prices we have no variation to
;44 notice from those obtained on Monday. The numbers
1% of Sheep were small, yet the sale for them was in a
4c/ sluggish state, at unaltered figures. Prime small Calves
5% sold freely, at very low prices ; but, in other kinds of
Veal, next to nothing was doing. The Pork trade was
I firm, and the currencies were supported without diffl-
;4 culty, igliCil Cows sold slowly at from 161 to 191 each.
