CONIDIERCHAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, Two o'Ceoex.
The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
during the last few days have exhibited little or
to animation. The qualities of the various staples
announced for public sale are very limited, and in
most instances lower rates are current. Tea,
however, has been steady. Sugar has been
,4111, and a downward tendency has been ex-
hibited in values, notwithstanding the large
entries for home consumption. In the Refined
karket there is very little doing, and prices remain
steady. A moderate business has been reported in
coffee, and Plantation Ceylon has realised full values
!tie() has been inactive, and the few sales reported
bane been at lower values. Ruin and fruit have
been in moderate demand at about late rates, and
Ittltpetre continues at full values. Tallow continues
at Steady rates. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted
; July and September delivery, 51s. 6d. ; and
list three months, 50s. 9d. per cwt.
• Accounts from Liverpool report that the Cotton
sXarket yesterday closed firmly, and prices of all
descriptions were without any material alteration.
4:4 sales were estimated at 7,000 bales. The Rail-
Way Share Market presented a quiet appearance,
and quotations slightly declined.
A further amount of 60,0001. was taken out of
‘, Bank of England yesterday, and the movement
easing
commenced so rapidly, some anxiety is felt
r hear of fresh arrivals from Australia, in order
that no great deficiency may be caused in the bul-
jinn at the Bank of England. An efflux always
attracts the attention of the speculators at the
stock Exchange, and, although the aggregate
amount of specie may be considered excessive,
the withdrawal of a few hundred thousand pounds
always produces an adverse effect. If on the pre-
Sent occasion there has been a departure from this
rule, and the speculators have refrained from active
dealings, they have nevertheless adverted to the
movement as one of the unfavourable influences
Which are likely to prevent any renewed buoyancy.
A. meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Rawson,
'cans, and Co., of London, Liverpool, and Man-
,laoster, china merchants, has just been held, Mr.
"Airant in the chair. The statement of assets
„sand liabilities was as follows—total liabilities,
142,151/. ; total assets, 457,393/. ; showing a
Surplus of 85,3421. It was stated by the accountant
that the assets were such as would be realized
80 that every prospect existed that the creditor,
Would be repaid in full, if time be fairly allowed.
• agreed after some discussion that as the con-
had been of the firm had been honourable, and the
ileeolluts in regular order, that inspectors should be
k The
for liquidating the affairs of the firm.
4.4 e meeting then adjourned.
The demand for money in Lombard-street, at
t
Bank, and in the Stock Exchange, is very
;Inlited, and accommodation can be obtained on
.43' moderate terms. In some quarters there is
:I better enquiry for commercial purposes, owing
a slight improvement in trade.
• The market for English Securities is quiet, but
presents a healthier appearance. Several small pur-
chases have been effected, and Bank brokers have
°Aerated to a limited extent ; these have im-
puted a better tone, and if the demand for
stock should increase, a recovery in values
!onld no doubt ensue. Considering the depression
at Paris, which seems to be increasing, and the
Withdrawals of gold from the Bank, it must be
adulated that the quotations are indicative of
treat firmness. Consols have been transferred at
