MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
during the last few days have shown very little
animation. Tea has continued inactive and prices
remain unaltered. Sugars have been neglected
Owing to the high rates demanded by holders. F—or
coffee there has been a moderate enquiry, at
slightly reduced rates. Rice, fruit, and spices, have ei
exhibited little change of importance. For salt-
petre there has been a more active demand, and
increased buoyancy has prevailed in the tallow
market, owing to increased demand for home
consumption, P.Y.C., on the spot, being quoted
Os. 6d., and spring delivery 61s. per cwt. st
There were no withdrawals of gold from the st
Bank of England yesterday. st
The following vessels are reported to have st
left Melbourne for this country with specie, viz., at,
the Roxburgh Castle with £166,800, and the Great St
Britain with £474,240. st

Suez with China news is not the regukt mail packet, as
the latter was not due there, until the sth inst., whereas
the telegram received is dated Alexandria, Nov. 30. The
importance of the intelligence probably induced Lord
Agin to send forward a special steamer.
The Ripon, which will leave on Wednesday, will
