CITY NEWS---THIS DAY.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
IA Moderate business is reported in the Discount
Market, and the quotations are firmly maintained.
The Seine, which left to-day with the West
India mails, conveyed £9,220 in specie.
In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
during the last few days, there has not been much
animation. Sugars, however, have been in fair
demand, at slightly enhanced rates. Coffee is dull,
at almost previous prices, while rice has continued
at steady quotations. In fruit and spices there has
been little change of importance an regards prices.
saltpetre continued dull, while tallow, in some in-
stances, has been a shade cheaper for both present
and forward delivery.
With regard to the tobacco trade, the following
tvemarks are from Messrs. Grant, Hodgson, and
monthly circular ;--." The market hascon-
tinued to present a very firm character, and the
principal transactions have been at extreme quota-
tions
; in some instances, for particular descriptions
`raetional advance has been submitted to ; bum-
„11e88 may be described as more active than the pre
1.°1113 month, and resulting in sales of 1,936 hhds.,
70 hhds. Virginia leaf, 44 hhds. and tierces
11411)3, 1,151 Kentucky leaf, 450 strips, and 221
bhds. of Maryland ; " substitutes" have also com-
mended a ready sale, and considerable parcels have
been taken at very full prices, and for some sorts,
at an advance on last month's quotations. Latest
advises from Kentucky give an estimate of the crop,
at about two-thirds of that of last year; a very
active demand existed, and any parcels offering
here freely taken at extreme rates. No reliable
estimate has yet been received of the probable make
'at strips.
