Our SHARE Market has continued to droop all
the week, prices each day having been lower than
on the preceding one, and we close to-day with a
gloomy look at the lowest point of the year. This
is accounted for by large operations on the part of
the bears, induced by unfavourable anticipations of
the half-yearly meetings. Our local stocks alone
remain firm. We annex to-day's prices :—London
stock, 120:1- 20 a2O ; Midland stock, 76i +.

PRODUCE.—The market for SUGAR, although it
has not experienced any decline, has been almost
confined to the demand for refining purposes.
The sales have amounted to 900 hhds. 8.P., 4,240
bags Mauritius, 100 bags Bengal, and 1,600 bags
and brls. Pernambuco. In Molasses a large trade
has been doing at an advance of ls. per cwt. In
COFFEE the business has been limited at 565. per
cwt. for Mocha. The trade in RICE has reached
3,000 bags, at 1 ls. Gd. to 12s. 3d. for Bengal. The
market for Rum is firm at previous rates. In TEA
there has not been much doing ; the lower qualities
of Congou continue firm, while fine Pekoe kinds
are lower, but greens have sold at full rates. For
SALTPETRE the market is rather easier. DYE-
WOODS are without alteration. TURPENTINE in
good demand. CLOVERSEED is held for higher '
prices. In GUANO little doing. The demand for
OLIVE OIL has been less active. LINSEED OIL
in fair demand at 325. per cwt. In PALM OIL a
good business has been done on the spot, and to
arrive at £33 to £33 10s. per ton. TALLOW is dull
of sale at 465. to 465. 3d. per cwt. for Petersburgh,
Y.C. JUTE realised at auction £l4 10s. to £l9 7s.
Gd. per ton, and some has since been sold at higher
rates.

TO-DAY there was a better feeling in the Sugar
market, 200 hhds Antigua having realised 32s Gd
to 36s 6d, 50 hhds vacuum pan Demerara 36s to
39s Gd, and 100 hhds Barbadoes 36s up to 40s for
grainy, also SOO bags Pernams,lSs for brown,l9s 6d
for yellow, and 22s per cwt low for white.—Tea, no
change to report, dealers are indisposed to operate,
having bought largely out of the late arrivals; a
small parcel of ordinary to good ordinary Congou
has been placed at 9,1 d per lb, being a lower quota-
tion.—Of Rice, 1,000 pockets old Bengal brought
12s 3d, and 50 bags Saltpetre 26s Gd per cwt, 13
per cent. refraction.—A speculative demand has
appeared for Castor Oil, upwards of 1,200 chests
having changed hands at 4-:'01 to 51d per lb.
COTTON.—The improved tone of this market,
which we noticed last week, has continued since
without interruption, and the demand has been
good for almost all descriptions. In American,
owing to the demand being principally confined to
the new crop, which has barely supplied the mar-
ket, an advance of id. per lb. was realized. Egyp-
tian was also rather dearer, and Brazil and Surat
commanded extreme prices. Up to Friday, the
quantity taken on speculation was 14,200 bales, of
which 10,720 were American, and 4,570 were taken
by exporters.—TO-DAY : The advices received by
the America gave a still firmer tone to the market.
The sales amounted to about 10,000 bales, of which
about 6,000 were taken on speculation and for ex-
port, and the market closed with much spirit, at an
advance of Id. per pound on American from the
rates of Friday, and all other descriptions a point
dearer. The advance on the other side is the more
surprising,. as it is immediately on the receipt of
the Arabia's mail, which left this port when the
discovery was made of the excess in the stock here.
Such an advance tends to confirm the impression
that the crop is not so excessive as was at one time
anticipated.
