CITY NEWS---THIS DAY .

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
•
Business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
11'Iarkets during the last few days has been rather
inactive. Sugars have slightly declined, but coffee,
rice, and tea have maintained previous rates. Salt-
petre has been dull, and at almost nominal quota-
tinns. The tallow market, however, has been more
animated, and prices have slightly advanced for
both present and forward delivery.
The Mangerton, from Lisbon, has brought £1,453
in specie.

The remainder of the deposit, viz., £1; on the
shares of the East India Irrigation and Canal Com-
Pany will have to be paid on or before the 15th
Proximo.
• There is an increase of £2,282 in the traffic re-
acipts of the South-Eastern Railway, and of £6l
'Ol3. the Brighton, for the past week.
A full inquiry is still reported in the general dis-
count market, and there is a large increase in the
supply of bills on offer, with less inclination on the
Part of capitalists engaging in such transactions to
negotiate business on the current terms. This
arises from an impression that the rates will fur-
ther ascend, because specie is likely to be exported
for foreign loans, while the absorption at home, on
account of the various projects lately introduced, is
also expected to produce an effect. The conse-
quence already has been an advance in the terms
accepted in the open market of fully 2 per cent.,
and very little, if any, accommodation can now• be
procured under the Bank of England minimum of
2 Per cent., so that the applications at that estab-
lishment are largely in excess of the recent average.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK,
The Liverpool Cotton Market today remains
steady, and sales will probably reach 4,000 bales.
The English Stock Market opened this morning
`with rather a better appearance, but the tendency
to buoyancy was not of long duration,—a few
sales sufficing shortly afterwards to reproduce the
indications of heaviness which have now charac-
terised business hi this department of the Stock
Exchange for several days. At the present moment
Consols are 931 a for transfer, and 931 for the
account, being a trifle flatter than on the previous
afternoon. A few bargains have taken place even
at lower quotations, but the latest prices are frac-
tionally firmer. The New Threes and the Reduced
are flat at 931 a ; Exchequer Bills havr receded to
19a. and 225. prem.; Bank Stock is steady at 239 ;
India ditto firm at 228 and 230; and the 5 per
Cent. Loan remains at 1081- 1.
The transactions in the Foreign market have
been of a limited character, and prices are de-
pressed.

Illah great havoc in Edinburgh some time ago, although
