AIONET MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocx.

During the last few days there has been rather
less activity exhibited in the Foreign and Colonial
Produce Markets. Tea, however, has continued at
full rates. For sugar there has been a moderate
inquiry, at steady prices, while higher rates have
been realised for good and fine descriptions of coffee.
Rice continued dull, and a slight decline has taken
place in the value of saltpetre. At the public sales
of colonial wool the rates established at the com-
mencement have been fully sustained. The tallow
market has remained dull, and prices have shown
rather less buoyancy for both present and forward
delivery.
Business was moderately active in the Liverpool
Cotton Market yesterday, and prices were steady.
The sales were about 6,000 bales.

About £24,000 in gold was withdrawn from the
Bank of England yesterday.

in specie.

A sum of £4,075 has been received by Messrs.

tance on account of the Ecuatorian Dividend Fund
of £1,053.

Thursday next has been appointed a special
settling day in the shares of the Rio Janeiro
City Improvement Company, and dealings are to
be officially recorded.
The traffic receipts of the South Eastern Railway
for the last week show a decrease of £1,159.
There is a steady demand for money at previous
rates, the payments of the 4th having created very
little influence.

The Funds have remained very quiet to-day, the
settlement of the account occupying almost exclu-
sive attention. Upon the whole, however, the
qnotations are firmer than they were at the close of
