full value—viz., at 31s to 345 for low to good mid red.
TEA.—The continued large arrivals of Tea, the desire
of merchants to sell, together with the settlement of the
China question,
have produced a very unfavourable opi-
nion amongst the trade generally towards Tea, and the
market has been in a dull state all the week, both for
black and green descriptions.
To-day the market presented a languid appearance for
Tea, and the tendency of price is still downwards ; forced

ASIIBURTON.—Owing to the recent rainy weather
during the month of November, the tillage of wheat
and other field employments has been retarded,
but, on the other hand, this boisterous season
has had its benefits by causing the springs to issue
forth on the hills and in the valleys, and replenishing
an abundant supply of water, of which a great
scarcity was experienced during the long previous
drought. Nearly the whole of the potato crops are
taken from the ground, and this excellent vegetable
is selling at from 4d. to 6d. per score weight.
The early wheats are looking healthy, and grass
and turnips are pretty plentiful. for the season.—
