MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocx.

The markets for Foroign and Colonial Produce
have shown rather less animation during the last
few days. The demand for tea, however, has been
active, and full rates have been realised. Sugars
have been dealt in to only a moderate extent, and
prices have slightly declined. The inquiries for
coffee have been active, full rates being current for
the better descriptions of plantation Ceylon. In
rice, fruit, and spices an average amount of busi-
ness has been recorded at about previous rates.
Saltpetre has been dull, and prices have slightly de-
clined, but for tallow there has been an active de-
mand at slightly advanced rates, the deliveries for
consumption having considerably increased.
Accounts from Liverpool report that the Cotton
Market yesterday closed with a quiet appearance,
and between 7,000 and 8,000 bales were disposed of
at previous rates. In the Railway Share Market
there was rather more activity, and prices tended
A Y upwards.

Only a small amount of gold, viz., £12,000, was
withdrawn from the Bank of England yesterday.
There is a fair demand for money in the general
market and at the Bank ; but bills cannot be nego-
tiated except at full rates, because it is by no means
certain that the minimum will remain in its pre-
sent position, and capitalists are consequently very
cantious in their operations.

The Peninsular and Oriental steamer Indus, to
sail on Saturday with the India and China mails,
will take £256,619, of which £7,950 is gold for
Alexandria, £1,200 gold for Ceylon, £lO,OOO gold
and Z 105,020 silver for India, and £5,870 gold and
£128,513 silver for China. The whole is on private
account.

There has been very little animation in the
market for English Securities to-day, owing to
the continued dullness of speculation, and the
limited character of the investments. The quota-
tions, however, are well maintained, a few bargains
having taken place at the improvement established
yesterday,Consols being 9411 for money and the Bth
inst.,and 9411 for the March account. The diminished
efflux of gold, and the increased quietude of the
money market, have exercised a:favourable influence.
The New Threes and the Reduced Annuities have
advanced to 941 ; the New 21 to 79; Exchequer
Bills 17s. and 21s. prem. ; India New Loan is
1031. I; ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper has im-
proved to 97-1 and 98 ; and ditto 51 per Cent. ditto
to 1031 104.

In Foreign Securities a moderate amount of busi-
ness is recorded, and prices are tolerably well main-
tained. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 78 to 781 ; ditto
New, 65 to 66 ; Mexican have improved to 211 ;
Russian 3 per Cents., to 651 ; Peruvian (Uribarren),

The second reading of the Church Rate Abolition
!lin. is to be debated at the morning sitting of Wednesday
"It, when Lord Robert Montagu will move that the billibe
lead a second time that day six months. As the devision on
occasion is likely to be a decisive one, and the most
il,..teinlous efforts will be made to reduce the majority which
Z? abolitionists have hitherto secured, for that is all that the
—.Le Party hope to effect, it is of great importance that the
ollstituents of all the liberal members should make sure of
t
l:a attendance of their members, so that the votes may be
sions numerous, and the pairs fewer than on previous occa-
.
