COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, Two o'CLocK.
The transactions in the Foreign and Colonial
Produce Markets during the past few days have 50
been unimportant, and prices generally have ex-
-131
hibited little alteration. Tea has been inactive, St,
the trade having shown an unwillingness to 5
operate. Considerable quantities are announced 25
for public sale during the week. For the better
qualities of sugar there is a fair inquiry, st.
and late quotations have been sustained, St.
inferior qualities, however may be quoted ;'S
rather cheaper. Coffee has met a moderate 20
inquiry, and prices of both Plantation and 10
Native Ceylon have been fully sustained.
For rice there has been an active demand
both for home use and for exportation, and a slight
advance has taken place in the value of the better
qualities. Saltpetre continues steady, and rum,
fruits, and spices have been moderately dealt in at
about former rates. The public saes of foreign
and colonial wool aro announced for the 15th inst.,
when about 70,000 bales will be offered for public
competition, consisting chiefly of Sydney and Port
Philip wool.
Tallow has been flat ; P.Y.C. on the spot has
declined to 505., and last three months, 495. 61. to
495. 9d. per cwt.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday exhibited
a very firm appearance, and prices of all descrip-
tions were fully supported. The sales amounted
to 12,000 bales, 2,000 of which were taken by the
Speculators, and 1,000 by the exporters. In Rail-
way Shares a fair amount of business was trans-
acted, and values slightly improved.
A further dividend of 2s. 61, making, with the
former payment, 7s. 6d. in the pound, has been
announced to the creditors of Messrs. Sanderson,
Sandeman, and Co., bill discounters, who auccumbed
during the crisis. The liquidators of the affairs of
Messrs. Maitland, Ewing, and Co., have also inti-
mated that they are in a position to divide Gs. Bd.
in the pound, which will be the first distribution
under their estate. Some other ;'similar pay-
rao-nts are expected ere long, the realisation of the
assets of several of those who unfortunately sus-
pended at the same time making favourable pro-
gress. Although failures are still occasionally
reported, there can be no doubt that trade,
quiet though it may appear, getting
healthier, and as the first half-year is over,
and the long-dated bills negociated at its com-
mencement have been satisfactorily met, it is
believed that during the next few months a marked
improvement will take place.
The applications for money in Lombard-street
and elsewhere were still sufficient to impart activity
to the general discount market. No further altera-
tion has taken place in the rates, which, however,
must be considered easy, but the tendency is up-
ward, and the supply of capital is much less
abundant than it was a few weeks since. During
the payment of the dividends which commenced on
Thursday, however, there may be increased
easiness.

There were no withdrawals of geld from the
Bank of England yesterday, but the movement, it
is presumed, has not yet ceased.
The transactions in the silver market have be-
come limited, and the quotations remain steady.
A. meeting of the East Anglian Shareholders is
being now held, to ascertain the propriety of ap-
pealing against the decision of the Vice-Chancellor
lately given against the company, in the case of
Messrs. Goodwin and others.
There is a decidedly better feeling in the English
Stock Market to day. An increased business has
been done, and a rise in prices has occurred
in most descriptions of stocks and shares.
The effect of the liquidation now in pro-
gress seems favourable. Consols are about
95j, buyers. for the Bth instant, and 951 ft for ac-
count. The New 3 per Cents. and the Reduced
are about 95i ; Exchequer Bills, 31s. to 345. pm. ;
India Bonds, 16s. pm. ; India Loan Debentures,
991; and. Long Annuities, la. Bank Stock is
220 i 222.
• Foreign Securities are extremely active, and
prices have advanced. Turkish 6 per Cents. are
951 i; ditto 4 per Cents., 1041 ; Spanish 3 per
Cents., 441 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 1121 ; Sar-
dinian 5 per Cents., 882- 89i ; Brazilian 41 per

ditto Dollar Bonds, 68i 70 ; Portuguese 3 per
Cents., 45 ; Dutch `A per Cents. 65R- ; and ditto
4 per Cents., 1001.
In the Railway Share Market this morning the
transactions have been rather numerous, and prices
generally have improved to some extent. Great
Northern have advanced 10s. ; Eastern Counties,
Great Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire, North 3,
Western, South Western, and South-Eastern, 11. ; 14.
and Caledonian and North British, 1/. 10s. The 20
Foreign and. Colonial undertakings are at slightly V.,);,
improved quotations. Northern of France have 201
advanced 1/. ; and Great Western of Canada and
100
Grand Trunk of Canada, 10s. 100

For Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
there has been a very limited inquiry. Bank of
Egypt have improved about ss. ; London and
Westminster, 55.; National Discount Company, ss. ;
and Van Diemau's Land Company, 10s.

THE BAHIA RAILWAY.--,-The Tamar, which has just
arrived home with the Brazil mail, took out on her out-
ward passage a number of railway officials connected.
with the Bahia railway.
It is said that explanations have been demanded of the
Viceroy of Egypt with reference to the loan which he is
about to negotiate with an English house. The reason
alleged for these Explanations is that the Pasha, in order
to give a guarantee for the repayment of the loan, eRn.
vents, in fact, to an alienation of territory.
TIM WHIGS AND THE INCOME TAX.—Mr.Wilson, of
the Economist. late secretary to the Treasury, and M.P.
for Devonport, is generally considered to have found
brains for Lord Palmereton's Government on financial
matter. From Mr. Wilson's speech on Monday last, it
is evident the Whigs had resolved to fix in perpetuity the
• income tax on the people of England. Mr. Wilson said,
"The best informed and reflecting people out of doors
- were in favour of maintaining the income tax, and the
Chancellor of the Exchequer might easily have main-
taioed the 2d. in the pound which be had abandoned."
From this it is quite clear that if Lord Palmereton's
. Government had continued in office we should have now
been paying 7d. in the pound income tax, instead of sd.
in the pound • and if the income tax is to ha abolished
in 1860, it will be done by a Conservative Government.
There is no hope from the Whigs. On Lord Palmer-
ston's banner ought to be inscribed—" War, Reckless
Expenditure, and Jobbing."—Coventry Standard,
