MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.
During the past few days there has been scarcely
any business of importance transacted iu the
Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. Tea, at
public sales, has declined about I.d per lb., and
sugar, except for the very superior qualities, has
also been at lower rates. Coffee, however, has
been steady, and rice, rum, and spices have been
in only moderate request, no change of importance
Laving taken place in values. Saltpetre has been
in active demand, and at higher quotations. The
tallow market continues dull, P.Y.C. on the
spot having declined to 495. per owt. in all posi-
tions.

The public sales of Colonial Wool commenced
yesterday afternoon. There was a rather full at-
tendance of buyers, more particularly of foreigners,
and the biddings were animated, the better qua-
lities attracting most attention. Prices were fully
supported, and, in some instances, an advance of
id- to id. per lb. was realised on the rates current
at the close of the last sales. The quantity to be
offered at this series amounts to about 75,000 bales,
chiefly Sydney and Port Philip wools.
Letters from Liverpool mention that the Cotton
Market yesterday closed heavily, and prices of all
descriptions were unaltered. The sales amounted
to 7,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken by the
speculators. The Railway Share Market presented
no new feature of importance, and quotations were
without change.
The arrival of the Royal Charter with upwards
of 400,00 R
in gold has not given an immediate
check to the efflux from the Bank, about 8,0001.
Iliftving been despatched from that establishment
;resterday. It is generally imagined that a large
pro
POrtloll of the remittance by that vessel will be
fumilarly appropriated, and most persons inte-
rested in the subject are prepared to see a rather
iniportant decline in the bullion. The return,
srhich will appear in the Gazette this evening,
"ill undoubtedly show a falling off, scarcely a day
"Ting Passed without a moderate amount being
ten:loved.
The letters by the Royal Charter were delivered
this morning.
It is expected that the Teviot, from Alexandria,
viill not reach Southampton until the 17th inst.,
Flaying' damaged her machinery.
The letters by the Bombay Mail, which left
Malta on the 14th inst., per Euxiae, may be ex-
pected on the 19th inst.
The Funds have been steady to-day, and the
rise which took place yesterday has been main-
tained A limited amount of business has
been recorded, speculation still being very dull, .
and at the same time the real operations are re-
stricted. Consols have been 951 8 for money, and
95 I I for account ; they are now 95f and 951
respectively.
