1110NEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocx.

Business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
Markets has shown more animation during the last
few days, and prices generally have exhibited
symptoms of recovery from the late transient de-
pression. Sugars have improved about 6d. per
cwt., while coffee has realised full values. The
transactions in tea have been limited; prices, how-
ever, continue steady.
The dealings in rice ave not been very extensive,
but there has been a fair inquiry for fruit and
spices at rather reduced values. Saltpetre has been
dull, no dealings of any importance having been
concluded. The tallow market has been more
active and the transactions for consumption as well
as on speculative account have been more numerous
at a slight advance in prices.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday was
rather inactive, but prices remained without altera-
tion. The sales were about 7,000 bales. In the
Railway Share Market business was more active,
and quotations were in most instances a trifle
higher.
The demand for money is tolerably well main-
tained, but the applications are not so numerous
as they were a few days ago. Full rates are still
enforced for the negotiation of commercial bills.
There were no bullion operations at the Bank of
England yesterday. About £lOO,OOO worth of
Mexican dollars have been purchased by the Go-
vernment for China.

The Edinburgh, from New York, has been an-
nounced this morning with £64,103 in specie.
A call of 20 per cent. is due to-day on the Great
