CITY, Two o'CLocic.
The Markets for Foreign and Colonial Produce
during the last few days have shown rather less
activity; most of the prineinal staples, however,
have fully supported previous values. There has
been a steady inquiry for tea at full prices. Sugars
met a fair demand, but in some instances
at slightly reduces rates. For coffee there
has been a steady inquiry, and at the
first public sale of plantation Ceylon
since the Christmas holidays fall prices were ob-
tained. The dealings in rice, fruit, and spices have
been moderately active, at late values. Saltpetre
has been dealt in to a moderate extent, and
although large arrivals have taken place, prices
have been steadily maintained. In the tallow
market there has been very little activity, although
yesterday more firmness prevailed, and prices were
a shade higher.
Although the bullion operations at the Bank
have been unimportant during the last few days, a
considerable quantity of gold has been purchased
for the continent, including the remittances by the
Anglesey, Lew Chew, and the Tyne. As the export
demand continues active further withdrawals from
the Bank of England may soon be reported, unless
fresh Australian supplies are quickly received. By
the advices which arrived yesterday, however, it
appears that a considerable quantity is coming for-
ward from Victoria, comprising £120,000 by the
Water Nymph, £60,000 by the Sussex, £128,000
by the Donald M'Kay, and £58,000 by the Com-
modore Perry.
rather larg© In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday a
amount of business was transacted,
and prices were well supported. The sales amounted
to 12,000 bales. The Railway Share Market closed
quietly, and quotations were a per cent. lower.
The directors of the Great Indian Peninsula Rail-
way have issued their annual report, from which it
appears that the receipts during the year amounted
£148,496 12s. 5d., and the expenditure to
£65,491 55., leaving an available balance of
£83,005 7s. sd.
A call of £2 per share, or £lB,OOO is due to-day
on the Bahia and San Francisco Railway shares,
There is very little alteration to notice in the
Market for English Securities, the transactions
being limited, and the quotations tolerably steady.
The advices from the Continent have created less
buoyancy, but the actual movement in price only
amounts toy per cent. Consols have been 951
for the 10th, and 95&11- for February. The market
appears exceedingly quiet. The New Three per
