CITY, Two o'CLocK.

A very limited business has been transacted in
the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during
the past few days. Prices, however, of most of the
Principal staples have been well maintained, as
holders have not pressed sales. The continued
prevalence of easterly winds has prevented the
arrival of large quantities of produce, and the
deliveries have been on' a rather limited scale in
consequenee. Tea, at public sale, has realised full
rates for the better descriptions, but scented qualities
were
slightly in favour of buyers. The transactions
in sugar have been exceedingly small, and only for the
immediate requirements of the trade for home con-
sumption. In the Refined Market, however, a fair
business has been transacted, and at full values.
Coffee, rice, and rum have been dealt in to a mode-
rate extent, at former rates ; and in new fruit the
transactions have been rather active, more particu-
larly for the finer qualities of currants and Valencia
raisins. Figs of the better qualities are scarce, and
nave obtained high rates. Saltpetre has met a
steady demand, at about former quotations, and
tallow has shown a slight improvement.
The public sales of foreign and colonial wool
better descriptions fully maintain the rates esta-
blished at the commencement of the series.

In the Liverpool Cotton-market yesterday, rather
more animation was apparent, and previous rates
'Were fully maintained. The sales amounted to
10,000 bales. In the Railway Share market a very
limited business was transacted at former values.
11, The gold by the Lincolnshire has been delivered;
a part has been taken for the continent, and it is
"Pected that the remainder will be similarly ap-
propriated.

The demand for money in the discount market
continues steady, and the rates remain without the
slightest change of importance. An extensive
absorption is going on for railway and other .pur-
PeSeS. Calls to the amount of £65,000 are
announced for East Indian lines alone during the
month, but there is some satisfaction in knowing
that a large proportion of• these withdrawals, un-
like the proceeds of foreign loans, is expended in
this country in the manufacture of rails, and other
materiel.

Some of the East Indian railway shares have
slightly improved, but they still remain at prices
quite disproportionate to the rate. of 'interest they
viz., 5 per cent. per annum. The immense
supply, with which the market is flooded, is the
!.°lll7 explanation that can be afforded, and it will
Probably require the lapse of many months before
the Public will absorb a sufficient quantity for in-
vestment, to float these securities at a premium
commensurate with their merit and advantages.
It is stated that an agreement has been entered
into between the London and North-Western and
the North Staffordshire Railway Companies, whiCh,
St is expected, will result in an amicable adjust-
lent of their differences.

Arrangements are reported to have been made
by the Midland Company for leasing the " Little"
North Western at 31 per cent. per annum.
The market for Public Securities is very dull,
toand a decline of per cent. has taken place, owing
a few speculative sales. There is very little
business in progress in any of the markets, and the
toellanges are merely fractional. Consols are 974
98 for money, and 98 to 981 for account.
The New Threes are marked 964 4 and the Re-
duced 961 4 ; Long Annuities, 1 3-16 ; India Loan

Prem. ; June ditto, 28s. to 31s. prem. ; and the
Bonds ditto have been dealt in at 1004.
Business in the Foreign Stock Market is active,
and prices are rather firmer, with the exception of
,urldsh, which are flat, the 6 per Cents. being 92 1 ;
ditto 4 pet Cents , 105 ; the Scrip, Ist issue, is 4
4.,i5.; ditto, 2d issue, 44, being depressed. Spanish

Per Cents:, 1034 ; Buenos Ayres 6 per Cents., 85;
and Dutch 21 per Cents., 664.
In the Railway Share Market the dealings have
been rather limited, and in .the few traasactions
reported prices have varied to the extent of about
,to 4per cent. South-Westerns and North-
astern (York), have improved ss. ; Bristol and
b
zeter, 10s.; and Chester and Holyhead, 155.;
Great Westerns, North-Westerns, and Midlands,
have declined ss. ; and Caledonian and Great
Northern, 10s. In the Foreign lines scarcely
any business has been done. Pernambuco,
however, has declined about ss. The Colo-
w;lat undertakings are moderately active,
pare
at slightly improved quotations. East Indian
4are advanced 10s. ; Great Indian Peninsula, ss. ;
Grand Trunk of Canada and Great Western of
Canada, are also at slightly improved rates.
