MONEY MARKET AND CITY .NETVS,

CITY, Two o'CLocx.

There has been very little animation in the
Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the
last few days. A very limited business has been
done in tea, and prices have shown no material
variation; sugars have been moderately dealt in at
late rates ; coffee has continued in steady request,
and the finer descriptions of Plantation are held for
higher quotations, owing to the dcacicncy in the
stocks on hand. Moderate transgctions have taken
place in rice, fruit, and spices, but prices have not
varied to any important extent. In saltpetre the
dealings have been of a retail character ; the stocks
on hand, however, show an increase of nearly 1,000
tons. Tallow has been in active request, and prices
for both present and forward delivery show an
upward tendency.

Continued activity pervaded the Cotton Market
at Liverpool yesterday, and enhanced quotations
were current for most descriptions. The sales
amounted to 15,000 bales.

The steamer La Plata, which leaves to-day for
the West Indies, will take out £5,000 in gold and
£l,OOO in silver.

The Sultan has arrived from Lisbon, with
L 18,770 in specie.

Owing to the arrangements in progress for the
bills due on the 4th of the month, there is more
demand for discount accommodation, enquiries now
being made at the Bank of England, while an
active businoss is reported in private circles. The
effect of the payments may be merely temporary,
but it is generally expected that the market
will continue firm, especially as the specie
movement is likely to become rather less favour-
able, although the imports may continue to leave
a balance for the Bank of England.
The traffic receipts of the Great Western Rail-
way of Canada for the week ending the 14th ult.,
exhibited an increase of £2,545 compared with the
same period in 1859.
