LONDON, Friday, Sept. 81, lS49.
A good business has been done this week in
most descriptions of Colonial and Foreign produce,
and the deliveries both for home and export con-
tnue to increase; arrivals have been numerous, and
the quantity OF produce offered at public sale has been
rather extensive, Of which the greater portion has
found buyers, at steady prices. Apart from the
Cotton manufacturing districts, where great mac
tvity at present prevails the domestic trade of the
country proceeds satisfactorily. Breadstutfs have
been in more request, at improved prices. C0Bee

tation steadily suppored at the public sales of $40
