ONEY MARKET

a,YD

COMIVIERCTAL INTELLIGENCE.
CITY, Two o'CLocx.
During the last few days the markets for foreign
and colonial produce have exhibited consideralie
firmness. For sugar there was a fair inquiry, and
the finer qualities realised full rates. In the refined
market there has also been an active demand fcr
undried goods, and prices have advanced 6d. per
cwt. Very little business has been reported in
tea, and prices are unaltered, and coffee
has been dealt in to a moderate extent, at full
values ; holders in many instances demand a slight
advance upon late qu stations. Superior qualities
of turn continue in demand ; and rice has also
slightly improved. For saltpetre there has been a
far inquiry, and higher rates are current for the
better qualities. The public sales of colonial wool
continue to progress very steadily, and the prices
realised at the commencement of the series have
generally been maintained. The tallow market
has been dull, notwithstanding there is little South
American or Australian in the market. P.Y.C. on
the spot is quoted at 525. 6d. ; April to June,
525. 6d. ; and last three months, 60e. 6d. per cwt.
Letters from Liverpool mention that the Cotton
Market yesterday manifested less animation, but
prices advanced id. per lb. on all descriptions.
The sales were estimated at 7,000 bales, 1,000 of
which were taken by the speculators. The Railway
'Share Market closed quietly, with little business
doing, at about previous rates.
A further withdrawal of about 32,0001. in gold
coin from the Bank of England took place yester-
- day, but this will probably be replaced by the
92,8721. received yesterday by the Donald M`Kay,
and the 120,0001. by the Arabia. An occasional
movement of this kind must be expected when
there is such a steady demand for silver
on Eastern account ; but although every-
one must be prepared for such withdrawals
there is a good deal of comment whenever they
ocour, especially among the speculators, who at
once begin to calculate upon the probability of an
extensive drain. At present the remittances, it is
alleged, are confined to the necessary payments for
supplies of silver, and unless the Bank of Franco
resumes its purchases of gold, there is no just cause
for apprehending any serious efflux.
Money is now in more request, owing to the
commercial engagements which become due on the
4th inst. These are presumed to be of an exten-
sive character, and the demand for accommodation
has therefore increased, but the effect will only be
temporary, and as trade is dull, no material pres-
sure of business is yet expected in the discount

market.
Further symptoms of weakness have been expe-
rienced this morning in the market for English
Stocks, which are suffering from the paucity of
business consequent upon the uncertainty felt with
regard to the progress of political affairs. The set-
tlement of the account, which will occupy the atten-
tion of the brokers and dealers during the remainder
of the week may also tend to increase the heavy
tone now observed, but unless any unforeseen con-
tingencies arise, there seems very little prospect of
any declension of importance, or even a continuance
of the existing apathy, when money is so cheap and
the tendency of the trade, after the late
severe trial, is towards a general improvement.
Consols for money and the 4th instant have been
965 t, and they are now 96f and for April 97 to
974. The Ntvr Three per Cents. are 96i to 97,

to 2264, and India Ditto 2221. Exchequer Bills
are 39a. to 425. premium, and India Bonds 265.
to 30s. premium.
In the Foreign Securities a moderate amount of
business has been transacted, and prices are steady.
