BOROUGII

We have received a fair supply of hops for this
Market during the present week. For the
finest hops in pockets, we have a steady
inquiry, at full rates of currency; but in
'all other kinds, next to nothing is passing.
The duty is still ,backed at 160,0001. East Kent in
pockets, 51 lOs to 6l Bs.; Mid Kent in ditto. 515 s to
61; Sussex, 4/ lOs to 51 8s ; Farnhams, Si to 101;
Old Hops, 3/ to 4/ 10s.
COLONIAL MARKET..
SUGAR.—The improved demand noticed for British
Plantation has entirely ceased, the market having
been very heavy, and to effect sales holders have (in
some instances) accepted of a decline of 6d to Is.
Only 700 hhds have been disposed of all the week,
including 100 casks Barbadoes by auction, at 62s
to 68s Gd for low to fine quality, being about former
prices. Molasseer—Holders are very firm, and there
being few parcels offering purchases cannot be
made at lower prices. Mauritius-947 bags,
sold without spirit at 58s to 66s for strong fine brown
to fine yellow, being, however, comparatively high
prices. A limited business has been done privately at
corresponding rates. Bengal-3,000 bags brought
to public sale found buyers at 62s 6d to 70s for fine
yellow to good white Benares, which are fully former
rates. Privately, few transactions have taken place.
Foreign—The business done has been less exten-
sive, which may, in a great measure, however,
be attributable to the few parcels offering, and the
high prices asked, as there still continues
to be a good demand. For the quantity sold rather
higher rates have again been obtained. 500 boxes
yellow Havannah of average quality sold at 21s, 120
hhds Porto Rico at 18s, and 500 bags mid white Siam
at 235. Refined—There has been a fair business
done in crushed at 255, which is the previous value ;
grocery sorts have been less inquired for, and former
prices are with difficulty obtainable.
COFFEE.—The public sales have obtained only 800
bags 100 cases Ceylon, 198 packages Mocha, 30 bales
Mysore, 1,500 bags Padang, and 158 casks Porto
Rico, which went off very heavily, and only part
finding buyers at about former prices : the Ceylon
consisting chiefly of black triage, the remainder sold
at 88s 6d to 90s 6d for fine fine and low mid palish
quality (British Plantation kind), and a small por-
tion fine ordinary pale and colory at 63s to 675.
Nearly all the Mocha was taken in at 75s to
82s Gd for mid to good quality, there being no pur-
chasers at previous prices; good yellow Mysore sold
at 59s 6d; nearly one-half of the Padang was dis-
posed of at 27s Gd for good quality, which is
the extreme value. All the Porto Rico
was withdrawn at 40s for fine ord palish
quality, being about the comparative value, but at
which prices there were no buyers. Privately, very
few transactions have taken place. In Foreign only
249 bags Rio have been brought to auction, which
sold at 31s to 33s Gd for good ord pale to fine ord
bright greenish, which is about the previous value.
COCOA.—There has been scarcely any inquiry for
this article.
TEA.—The private market has been in a very quiet
state, and prices have been without the least move-
ment, business being partly checked by the public sales
coming on next Monday, and for which up to the
present time about 13,000 packages are declared.
'This morning about 2,800 packages of Pouchong have
been offered, of which only half has found buyers at
the quotations previously current.

strength, snbject to the duty.
RlCE.—Holders have in some instances accepted
rather lower prices to effect sales, mid white Bengal

not been extensive.
SALTPETRE.-950 bags were taken in (excepting
one lot) above the value, at 29s for 51 refraction of
good colour, and 27s Gd to 28s for 15 per cent.refrac-
tion. Few transactions have taken place privately,
but holders remain firm, and purchases cannot be
made at lower prices. Nitrate of Soda has been sold
at 18s 6d to 19s, which is rather cheaper.
SPICES.-452 bags Pepper, 353 bags Pimento, and
19G chests Cassia Lignea, have been offered. The
former only partly sold at 2fid for fine Penang,
and black Sumatra was taken in at 2:1-d ; the Pimento
brought 2i,el to 27,d for ord to good mid quality, and
the Cassia 82s to 95s 6d for good ord coarse to good,
