CITY, Two o'CLoCK.
The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets dur-
ing the last few days have been rather more active.
Tea has exhibited considerable firmness, and at
public,sale common congou sold, for 101 d. per lb.
For the better qualities of sugar there has been a
fair inquiry from the trade, and fully late rates
have been supported. For coffee there has been a
moderate inquiry, and prices have been steady,

plantation Ceylon realising full values. Rice,
ow t' the large quantity announced for public
sale, as p been depressed, and in rum the transac-
tions have been limited. Saltp tre has been firm,
and the better qualities have realised full values.
Tallow has been at rather lower rates. P.Y.C. on
the spot is quoted 525. Gd. ; July to September de-
livery, 51s. ; and last three months, 50s. Gd. per
cwt.

The Liverpool cotton market yesterday closed
steadily, and prices were without material altera-
tion. The sales were estimated at 7,000 bales, 500
of which were taken by the speculators, and 500 by
the exporters. The railway share market presented
a quiet appearance, and quotations slightly receded.

The demand for money yesterday became very
active, both in Lambard-street and at the Bank, and
although the supply is ample, in fact superabund-
ant, higher terms were asked by discounters for
the negotiation of commercial bills. This remark
applies to the several classes of mercantile paper.
Instead of 2i, or 2i per cent., the holders of first-
rate paper were compelled to pay 2i and frequently
21 per cent., while for a large amount of average
quality bills 3 per cent. had to be paid.
The gold brought I. y the Indemnity has been
purchased for the Continent, and it is expected
that the remittance by the Medway will be similarly
appropriated. _

-Silver is in fair demand, but there is the usual
dulness immediately after the departure of the
steamer to the east.

Small quantities of specie ara arriving from St.
Petersburg.

The shareholders of the Port Philip and Colonial
Gold Company are in receipt of more favourable
advices from Australia with respect to their pros-
pects there than for some considerable time past.
After several years of disappointment, the manager
at the works in the colony is at length obtaining a
fair profit upon the operations of the company.
The income is so far in excess of the expenditure
that there is some probability of remittances soon
being sent home. This movement will no doubt
afford. considerable satisfaction to the general body
of shareholders.

The Committee of the Stock Exchange have ap-
pointed Friday, 25th June, a special settling day
in the Jubbulpore Shares of the East Indian Rail-
way Company, and transactions are to be marked
