COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

Daring the last few days the transactions in the
Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets have not
been extensive, and prices in most instances have
slightly receded. Tea, however, has been at steady
quotations. For the finer qualities of sugar there
was a fair inquiry, at a decline of about 6d. per
cwt. ; other descriptions were inactive. Coffee
filet a moderate sale at about previous values.
Rico has elhibited considerable activity, and the
better sorts have improved 33. per cwt. Saltpetre
has been firm, and tallow dull. P.Y.C. on the
spot is now quoted 51s. ; July to Sept(mber,
60s. 6d. ; and last three months, 50s. 3d. per cwt.

Accounts from Liverpool report that the Cotton
Market yesterday exhibited a very firm appear-
ance, and prices of all descriptions were fully main-
tained. The sales amounted to 10,000 bale, 2,0G0
of which were taken by the speculators, and 1,000
by exporters. The Railway Share Market closed
quietly, and quotations were unaltered.
The large withdrawal of gold from the Bank of
England yesterday, viz., 120,0001., has caused some
remark in financial awl speculative circles, and
there can be no doubt that further amounts will be
shortly exported to France, not on account of silver
purchases but in liquidation of commercial
balances. The Australian supplies will probably
furnish the greater part of what is required, and as
the American exchange is turning in our favour,
and remittances are likely to be resumed, the
stock of bullion at the national establishment may
not experience any great diminution. During
the last few days large quantities of gold coin have
been received from the provinces, and the Scotch
banks, it is understcod, have been forwarding a
large number of sovereigns. The next Bank re-
turn is not likely to show a very unfavourable
movement in the bullion ; on the contrary, many
anticipate a slight augmentation.

Silver has been rather more in demand during
the last few days, owing to the preparations for
the consignments by the Pera.
There was a meeting of the London Dock Com-
pany to-day—Mr. John Cattley in the chair. It
appeared from tho report that the business of the
last half year had been favourable, and left a balance
of 4,0001. more in favour of the company than on
the last occasion. The total balance in favour of
the company was 240,0291. A dividend of 21. 10s.
pEr cent, for the half year was declared. In reply
to a shareholder, the secretary said that the com-
pany was fully ensured for the loss that had
occurred through the late fire. The report was
adopted.

There is no improvement in the English Stock
Market, . business being dull and the quotations
heavy. Attention is chiefly directed to the pre-
paratory arrangements connected with the ap-
proaching Tquiclation. Consols are about per
cent, lower, but the market being in such a languid
state, a few operations either way produce an im-
pression. The quotation have been 95 f, but
there is now rather more firmness, Consuls being
951 -1. The New Threes and the Reduced,

In the Foreign Stock Market rather more
activity is apparent.

[ADYEILTISEMENT.]—THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE,._
It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious
article of animal died, first made its appearance ; and
already its celebrity is world-aide. It has been a sub-
ject of wonder, and bas puzzled many a brain to explain
how this has been btouoht about. Yet alien we are
acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our
wonder will ceaFe. A few days a gentleman,
wrote, •Itating that he had a horse which was a " perfect
bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get the
animal into condition, but in vain. Ho then bought
some of Thorley's food ; and he says the effect was won-
derful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of
a few weeks, had gained no less than 12 stones. Again
sve find at the late agricultural shows at Birmingham,
Cardiff, &c., tile animals which carried off the highest
Prizes, had been partly fed with Therlev's food for cattle.
Such facts speak for themselves, and v e are forced to
the conclusion, that its celebrity arises solely from its
onwu intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it
saa proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony
of those who have tried it. All parties interested in
bones and cattle will do well to apply to 77, .Newgate•
treet, Lontioy, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free.
