MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.
During the last few days the markets for foreign
and colonial produce have been inactive, and, with
one or two exceptions, prices have shown a down-
ward tendency. Tea has been dull, without, how-
ever, undergoing any change in price. Sugars
have receded about 6d. per cwt. ; but coffee
has been in active demand at full rates.
For rice the inquiries hare been extensive,
fall rates having been realised for all descriptions.
The dealings in fruit and spices have been very
limited, without any material change in value.
Saltpetre has been in steady demand at late prices,
but there has been less inquiry for tallow, P.Y.C.
on the spot having slightly declined in price ; for
forward delivery, however, a moderate business
has been transacted.
Although the arrangements for the 4th of the
Month are partially completed, there is very little
diminution in the demand for money, the supplies
of bills offered for negotiation being still exceed-
ingly large. The pressure, however, is most felt
at the Bank, because the rates charged elsewhere
generally exceed 44 per cent. Towards the close
of the week, however, the inquiry may slightly
abate, although there are many who yet anticipate
a further upward movement in the minimum quo-
tation.

The steamer with the outward India and China
mails on Wednesday will take £122,458, of which
£69,313 (14,473 in gold and £54,840 in silver) is
for India and Ceylon, and £53,145, all silver, is for
Chine. The whole is on private account.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday continued
/erY quiet, and prices were unchanged. The sales
Were 6,000 bales. In the Railway Share Market
business was inactive, and quotations had a down-

Ward tendency.
There has been rather more activity to-day in
the market for Public Securities, and an advance
of per cent. has taken place chiefly in conse-
quence of Lord John Russell's statements in the
liouse yesterday with regard to the prospect of an
amicable adjustment of the Savoy question.
Consols are 941 for money, 94: -.1 for
the 11th instant, and 941 4 for May.
