Duringg the past week the operations in the
Foreign
and Colonial Produce markets have been
moderately active. Tea, at public sale, has sold at
rattler irregular prices. Sugar, coffee, rice, fruit,
and spices have been in fair request, without any
material variation in values. The tallow market
has shown symptoms of improvement, P.Y.C., on
the spot, being quoted 425., and for last 3 months'
delivery 435. per cwt.

Two O'CLOCK.

In the English Stock Market Consols have re-
covered to 93:1 for money, and to 931 for the
account, after a little depression experienced in the
early part of the day. The transactions are still
insufficient to create activity. The New Threes and
Reduced Annuities remain at 92 g; and Exchequer
Bills are again par. to 35. prem.; India Stock is
226, the 5 per Cents. Enfaced Paper, 1071 ; and
the Debentures, 10(11 ; Bank Stock for account is
marked 240.

In the foreign market there is a good business,
and some variation has occurred in prices. Turkish
6 per Cents., 1858, are 701 1; do., 1862, 71/ 4 ;
do., Consolides, have improved to 541 1; Mexican
have been as high as 451 46, but are uow 45 1,
being still higher than on the previous afternoon.
Spanish Passive are steady at 36-a a ; the Internal
have risen to 32a g ; the Certificates to 141 15;
Greek are steady at 381. M ; the Coupons, at 18 ;
the Confederate Loan at 26 to 24 discount ; Portu-
guese at 461 ; and Italian at 74.
Business in the Railway Share Market has been
rather quiet, and prices have not varied to any im-
portant extent. Great Western and Brighton have
receded about 108., and North British LI, while
South Western have improved 55., and Metropolitan
£l.

The Foreign and Colonial lines coniinne without
any change of importance, Great Luxembourg being
quoted 141 2; Recife and San Francisco, in t ;
Calcutta and South Eastern, 1071 ; Great Indian
Peninsula, 109 I ; Madras 5 per rents., 108.
Bank and Miscellaneous shares generally are a
shade firmer. Chartered of India, Australian, and
China realise 364 s ; London and Brazilian, 51-} 4 ;
Union of Australia, 56 t; and Union of London,
4• General Credit Company shares are marked

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
There has been an exceedingly good demand for
Money to-day in the open market, where 4 per
cent. is the ordinary charge paid for the best class
of bills. Transactions, however, in a few instances
have been recorded at 37 per cent. The large
inquiry for accommodation lately experienced has
doubtless bee❑ stimulated through the activity
displayed during the past two months in nearly all
the manufacturing districts.
A further sum of £90,000 in gold was taken
into the Bank of England yesterday, but 43,000
sovereigns were withdrawn for exportation to the
Mauritius.
The Pera arrived from the Mediterranean with
£19,140.
