COIVINT.ERCIAL IN'rELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'Ceocie.
During the past few days only a moderate busi-
ness has been done in the Foreign and Colonial
sealer's Markets, many of the leading brokers and
uealers having been absent in consequence of Ascot
l'aces. There have been few public sales of most
of the leading articles, but privately prices have
generally been well supported. Tea continues at
hall rates. Sugar of the finer qualities, fit for
home Consumption, is steady, but inferior descrip-
teok4 are a shade lower. Rice, rum, and fruit has
exhibited little alteration in values, and saltpetre
and tallow have been firmer. The latter article is
(Illoted--spot, 525. 6d. to 525. 9d ; June delivery,
64 3i. to 525. 6d. ; July to September, 51s. ;
and last three months, 50s. 6d. per cwt.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
rather firmer, and prices were well maintained.
The sales were estimated at 10,000 bales, 1,500 of
winch were taken on speculation, and 1,500 for
elPortation. In the Railway Share Market there
wad no animation, and quotations declined.
The 'withdrawals of gold from the Bank of Eng-
land Yesterday, for exportation to the continent,
were about 40,0001. The specie brought by the
West India packet, La. Plata, has been delivered,
and the gold, amounting to about 102,7001., has
also been taken for the continent.
The Tagus, arrived from the Peninsula, has
"nveyed specie valued at 54,2111.
The arrival of the Australian mail, via Suez, is
awaited with much interest, because it is expected
t° report the departure from the colony of several
yealels with specie. A few ships are already over-
due) and their arrival, together with what
may be received from America and Mexico
Will ensure a .large aggregate supply, and
Prevent any serious declension in the Bank's
metallic reserves.
Although the Bank have announced no alter-
ation in their terms of discount, they have
iatimated their willingness to make advances
during the period when the transfer books
are closed, viz , from this day to the 14th July.
The terms upon which this accommodation will be
Panted are 3 per cent., and loans will be made on
'Ong dated commercial paper of six months' cur-
znney, as well aa.on Government Securities.
A mass of commercial paper will fall due to-day,
being the 4th. No failures are apprehended, ample
Pr°7lll. kon having apparently been made. Money
in Lombard-street is obtainable at 24 per cent., and
the Stock Exchange it is lent at 1i and 2 per
cent,

The variation in the English Stock Market to-
dav
has been limited, and very few bargains are
eeorded. Speculation is conducted on a most
men berg
scale, and the attendance of the
'eritbers is much smaller than usual. Con-
-4:18 'are marked 971 and 974 for money ;
a
