CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

During the last few days there has been rather
more animation in the Foreign and Colonial Pro-
duce Markets. Tea, however, has been inactive,
the advices from China by the overland mail having
caused little variation in values. For the better
descriptions of sugars for home consumption, there
has been more inquiry, but increased heaviness has
prevailed in the refined market. Coffee has con-
tinued in active request, and at full values, good and
fine descriptions of plantation Ceylon being at
enhanced rates. The transactions in rice have not
been very extensive, but at public sale East Ihdia
descriptions went at former prices. Saltpetre has
been in steady request, and tallow has been dealt in
to some extent, for present delivery, at higher
quotations, P.Y.C., on the spot and for end of
year, being quoted 52s 6d to 52s 9d, and for spring
delivery 53s to 53s 3d per cwt. _ . _

Rather less animation was exhibited in the
Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices
were tolerably steady. The sales were estimated
at about 11,000 bales.

To-morrow a call of £1 10s. per share, amounting
to £69,231, is due on the London and Blackwell
New Railway Shares; of £3, or £9,000, on the
Sambre and Meuse New Preference 5 per Cent. ;
and of £5, or £28,000, on the St. Helen's Canal
and Railway New £2O Shares.

The Glasgow has arrived from New York with
£44,000 in specie.

There is less demand for money to-day, and busi-
ness has been reported, in first-class bills, at 31 per
cent. The inquiries for loans and discounts at the
Bank of England have consequently fallen off.
The alterations exhibited in the Bank of France
return for the month ending yesterday are not very
extensive, but they present rather unfavourable
features. The principal movement has been a de-
crease in the bills discounted of £46,000, while the
advances on securities have increased about £30,000.
The bullion is smaller by £730,000, and the reserve
of notes by £493,000. The Treasury balances have
been augmented £93,333.
The market for Public Securities continues in a
heavy state, and an unfavourable effect has been
produced by the withdrawal of the French Ambas-
sador from Turin. Consols, however, are only a
fraction lower, being 93 to 931 for money, and
931 1 for the account. A special transfer is re-
corded in the New Three per Cents. at 931;
India Stock has improved to 2181 ; ditto New
Loan is steady at 103 ; ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaced
Paper at 961 ; ditto 5-; per Cent, at 102 ; and Ex-
chequer Bills remain of ls. to 4s. prem.
In Foreign Securities the dealings have been
moderate, and prices in most instances are lower.
Turkish 6 per Cents. are 731 to 74; ditto New, 57
to 572; and the 4 per 'Ants. have receded to 108;
Mexican, to 213; Peruvian 3 per Cents., to 742 ;
Spanish, to 481 ; ditto Deferred, to 39* ; and
Sardinian, to 83. Venezuelan remain at 23Z ; but
Buenos Ayres Deferred have improved to 301.
The Ocean Marine Insurance Company's shares
are 1Z to 2* pm. ; the Thames and Mersey, I,- it pm. ;
and the Universal, 3 pm.
