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 ld 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
having 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 cwt. iu 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 ld. 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 wore unaltered. The Bales amounted
to 7,000 bales, 3,000 of which were taken by the
speculators. The Railway Share Market prt:sented
no new feature of importance, and quotations were
without change.

The at rival of the Royal Charter with upwards
of 400,0001. in gold has not given an immediate
check to the efflux from the Bank, about 8,0001.
having been despatched from that establishment
yesterday. It is generally imagined that a large
proportion of the remittance by that vessel will be
similarly appropriated, and most persons inte-
rested in the subject are prepared to see a rather
important decline in the bullion. The return,
which will appear in the Gazette this evening,
will undoubtedly show a falling off, scarcely a day
having passed without a moderate amount being
removed.

The letters by the Royal Charter were delivered
this morning.
It is expected that the Teviot, from Alexandria,
will not reach Southampton until the 17th inst.,
having 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 bean 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 958 fit for money, and
95 / - for account ; they are now 95-1 and 95g
respectively. The New Threes are 95i ; the
Reduced, 951. ; Long Annuities, 1-11- ; Exchequer
Bills, March, 31s. to 363. prem. ; ditto June. 21s.
to 24:e prem. ; and ditto Bonds, Bauk Stock
is marked 222 223 ; and India Loan Debentures,
99g 11.
In the Foreign Stock Market rather more busi-
ness has been transacted, and yesterday's prices
are, in most instances, current. Turki-h 6 per
Cents. are 951 ditto 4 per Cents., 104; Buenos
Ayres 6 per Cents., 81; Mexican 3 per Cents., 19k;
Portuguese 3 per Cents., 451 ; Russian 5 per
Cents., 1121 ; Sardinian 5 per Cents., 891 ; Vene:l
zuela 5 per Cents., 38.1'; French 3 per Cents., 68f ;
Belgian 4 per Cents., 100 ; and Dutch 4 per
Cents, 1001.
Business in the Railway Share Market this
morning has been active, and in several of the
leading lines an improvement of about 1 to 11 per
cent. may be reported. South-Wes•ern and South-
Eastern have advanced 10s. ; Eas'ern Counties,
Lancashire and Yorkshire, Notth-East, rn (Ber-
wick), North. Eastern (York), 15s. ; Midland,
11. 10s., and Caledonian and Brighton,, 21. Foreign
and Colonial lines are quiet, at about previous
values ; Great Western of Canada, Grand Trunk
of Canada, and East Indian are at slightly im-
proved quotations.
_ _ _

Jointstock Bank Shares are very quiet. British
North American are at 531 ; London Chartered of
Australia, 19 ; London and Westminster have
improved to 46.1 461.
In the Miscellaneous Market Australian Agricul-
tural Shares are steady •, English and Australian
Copper Company and London Discount were at
previous values.
