CITY, Two o'CLocr.

The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets dur-
ing the last few days have been rather less active,
and a slight decline has taken place in the value of
some of the principal staples. Tea has continued
quiet, without change in prices. For sugar there
has been less demand, and refining qualities have
declined 6d to is per cwt. Coffee has been dull,
and a downward movement has occurred, notwith-
standing the smallness of stocks on hand compared
with those of the same period of last year. A fair
amount of business has been transacted in rice, and
some extensive dealings have taken place in fruit
at slightly enhanced rates. Saltpetre has continued
in fair request, and the tallow market has shown
rather less animation. Prices, however, have been
fully maintained, owing to the close of the naviga-
tion for the season from Russia. P.Y.C. on the
spot is quoted 61s 3d; December, 61s 9d; and
spring delivery, 59s per cwt.

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday was
very quiet, and prices were slightly in the buyer's
favour. The sales did not exceed 5,000 bales.

The traffic receipts of the Great Western Rail-
Way of Canada, for the week ending the 2d inst.,
exhibited an increase of £2,516 compared with the
corresponding period of 1859.
The demand for money is moderately active, both
in the discount market and at the Bank of Eng-
land, but the supplies of capital being plentiful,
the commercial classes are enabled to obtain ample
accommodation, although compelled to submit to
rather onerous terms. An immediate reaction is
considered improbable, but a further and perma-
nent decline in exportation of gold to the continent
Would no doubt relieve the market to a considerable
degree in the course of a few weeks.
A dividend at the rate of 8t per cent. will be
proposed at the meeting of the Trust and Loan
Company of Upper Canada.

At the meeting now being held of the proprietors
of the London Discount Company, a protracted
discussion is going on with regard to the advisa-
bility of voluntarily winding up the undertaking
as proposed by the directors.
The English Stock Market opened steadily at
the improvement established on the previous after-
noon, and although a little flatness temporarily
ensued, the funds were well maintained. Consols
being 931 1 for money, and 93: 1 for the account.
Rather more animation prevails owing to a few
speculative dealings. The New 3 per Cents. have

active. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 73 to 731; ditto
New, 58i to 581 ; Brazilian 5 per Cents. are
steady at 99; Sardinian at 87; Spanish, at 49Z;
ditto Deferred have improved to 41; Russian to

Thames and Mersey, prem.; and the Universal,

been confined to a few of the principal British
lines, which have slightly improved. Caledonians
have advanced ss. ; Great Westerns, 55.; Midland,
68. ; and North-Eastern (Berwick), ss.
The Foreign Market continued very inactive.
South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian realised
13/.

The proceedings of the Manchester merchants
offer a curious commentary on our general fiscal theories
ancl arrangements. 'Whilst the framers of the French
Treatyohpapsivoebteeen sounding elaborate praises of the system
of /specific duties, occasionally, however, acting on the di-
rectlyprinciple, the Manchester Chamber of
Commerce have agreed with reference to India to remtm.-
strata unanimously against this method. After a lapse of
ten months also the Chamber have thought it desirable to
protest against the protective duties established in India,
and to call the attention of the Government to the circum-
stance that ,4 this nation is pledged to the maintenance of
free trade principles."
