MONEY MARKET.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The operations in the Foreign and Colonial Pro-
duce Markets during the list few days have been
li'Lited, and little change of importance has taken
Place in the value of most principal staples. Tea,
however, has been in steady request, while sugars
hare shown a downward tendency as regards in-
ferior descriptions. Coffee, has been in moderate
favour, good and fine qualities of plantation Ceylon
fully maintaining previous rates. Rice, spices, and
fruit have been without alteration, but an increased
demand has been experienced for saltpetre, and
quotations tend upwards. Tallow continues dull
for both present and forward delivery, P.Y.C. on
the spot being quoted 465. 3d. ; and last three
months' delivery, 48s. 3d. per cwt.
There is a decrease of £3,778 in the traffic receipts
of the Brighton railway, and of £3,898 on the South
Eastern for the past week.

Money continues plentiful, and the rates are con-
sequently very easy, 2 per cent. being asked for
first-class bills, and in some instances business is ne-
gotiated even 4- per cent. lower.

A fair amount of business was again transacted
In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and
Prices tended upwards. The sales were 7,000 bales.
A further supply of £65,000 was taken into the
sank or England yesterday.
The Tagus has conveyed £20,000 in specie for
tiabon.

Notice has been given by the Spanish Financial
"Intriission that the auction of the Foreign Redeem-
able debt will take place at Madrid on the 29th
Inst., for which purpose 5,921,072 reals have been
assigned by the Government.
