During the last few days more activity has pre-
vailed in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Mar-
kets. Only a limited business, however, has been
done in tea, as the trade are waiting the result of
the public sales on Wednesday next. Sugars have
been in more demand and brought full rates. Coffee
has continued in fair request, fine qualities of
Plantation Ceylon realising an advance of 6d. to
ls. per cwt. Large arrivals of new fruit have been
announced, and holders have pressed sales which
have caused a slight decline. Rice has been in ac-
tive demand at advanced quotations, and a mode-
rate business has been done in saltpetre and spices.
Tallow has continued very buoyant, the enquiries
for present and forward delivery having been on
the increase, and prices have improved 6d. to 9d.
per cwt.
There is no new feature to record in connexion
with the progress of monetary affairs ; the demand
is limited, the supply abundant, and bills are easily
negotiated on previous terms. The specie move-
ment continues favourable, the greater portion of
the gold received from America and Australia being
sent into the Bank of England.
Money continues plentiful in all the principal
money markets of Europe, the requirements of the
mercantile community being very moderate.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday busi-
ness continued rather quiet, and prices steady.
The sales were estimated at about 8,000 bales.

A sum of L 72,000 in gold was sent into the Bank
of England yesterday.

way of Canada, for the week ending the 31st ult.,
exhibited an increase of £1,731 compared with the
same period in 1859.
The transactions in the Market for Public
Securities to-day have been rather limited, and
they have not influenced prices to any material
extent, Consols being 93 to 931 for money, and
931 4 for the account. This exhibits a decline of
about per cent., several small sales having been
made for transfer. India 5 per Cent. Enfaced

but the Bonds have receded to ss. dis., and Exche-
quer Bills are steady, at ls. to 4s. prem.
