The official accounts from the outports of the clearances of
goods on the first day of the operation of the tariff, are more
than proportionably great to London. The quantity of articles
f every day consumption has been large, and among them
several parcels of foreign produce, which under the
old system had been virtually prohibited. This remark applies
particularly to Coffee, of 'which some extensive entries for that
of South American growth appear. Although this description,
from its delicate flavour, will not answer to use by itself, yet
e hen mixed with other descriptions, this very delicacy will
Trove it, thus affording a superior sort at a much lower price.
The market here has already received an impetus thereby, and
much briskness, both at public auction and by private sa'e, has
to be noticed.

The Tea trade, and especially the country dealers, are com-
plaining very much of the manner adopted by some merchants
in forcing their stock forward. Sales consisting of nearly
50,000 packages terminated only on Tuesday, and to-morrow
others, containing nearly 25,000, will commence. The
consequence of this is, that a sort of monopoly
in the • article is given to some of the large houses
here, it being utterly impossible, in the time, for the
generality of the buyers to examine the various samples
properly, or for the distant ones either to reach the metropolis,
or receive the result of the tasting' and transmit orders. In the
sales just concluded some of the catalogues were not delivered
until days had elapsed from the beginning, and it is considered
that some approach to periodical sales should be made, with a
proper interval between the commencement of the show and
the sale.

In the English Market a sale in Reduced Three per Cents.
for the savings banks, by the Government broker, caused the
market to decline from 9l to 90i, the latter price at which the
Stock was sold ; since that they have been down at 917} Con-
sols, and the whole of the markets are rather on the decline
from the repeated sales of money stock.
In the Foreign Market Mexican is flat, and several sales
have been effected in Colombian; the market opened at 21i,
and declined to 20.4 a. Spanish likewise en the decline.
In the Share Market very little doing. Prices a shade worse
than yesterday.
