MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

The markets for Foreign and Colonial Produce
during the last few days have not shown much ani-
mation. At the public sales of tea the biddings
were inactive,' and prices were barely sustained.
Sugars were in limited demand at former values,
and in the refined market dried goods realised
about previous quotations. Coffee remained inactive,
with little change to record in quotations. The
dealings in rice have been more numerous, and an
upward tendency has prevailed in prices. Salt-
petre has been almost neglected ; but in the tallow
market more activity has been apparent chiefly for
present delivery, and prices have shown more firm-
ness.

A steady business is reported in the general
discount market, and the inquiries at the Bank are
also rather numerous. Ample accommodation,
however, can be obtained at the current quotations.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday con-
tinued considerably active, 7,000 bales having been
disposed of at previous rates. In the Railway

but prices were decidedly lower.

annum was declared.
