PRODUCE MARKET,

"Un- usually large shipments of Betelnut have gone for- ward to Calcutta, thus employing considerable ton- page for that market. There has recently been a fair amount of årders for Sugars for England, a por- tion of which is awaiting tonnage. In Tin also there has been great activity for the European our. ket, and in other articles of reduce there have been Iransactions for the American market.
