CITY, Two o'Ceocre.
The Markets for Foreign and Colonial Produce
during the last few days have not exhibited much
activity, the demand for most of the leading
staples having been extremely inactive. Tea has
been dull, and in sugar only a limited business
bas been reported, at. previous rates. Coffee has
has been at full* value, more particularly good
qualities of Plantation Ceylon. For rice there was
little or no inquiry, and saltoetre and tallow have
been at slightly reduced values.
The public sales of foreign and colonial wool con-
tinue to be well attended by both home and foreign
buyers, and the biddings, more particularly for the
finer qualities, have been rather animated. The
rates realised at the commencement are fully sup-
ported in all instances.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
heavily, and, compared with Friday's rates,prices of
all kinds were unchanged. The sales were 7,000
bales, 1,000 of which were taken on speculation.
In the Railway Share. Market a slight improve-
ment took place on Saturday's prices. •
Gold is again accumulating at the Bank. A
large portion, viz., 262,000/., of the recent Aus-
tralian atrivali; has already been taken there, and
some of the remainder will probably follow. Be-
sides this influx, sovereigns are being received from
Ireland and elsewhere, and a parcel comprising
abontloo,ooo/, was taken into the establishment
yesterday.
Money continues easy, and the demand does not
appear to increase. If trade improves at the pre-
sent rate, there may, however, soon be fuller em-
Velment for the discount firms, and on more re-
munerative terms than those now current. The
quotations out of doors being per cent. b,low the
Minimum, there is naturally even better inquiry
at the Bank, where 3 per cent, is charged. for first
class bills.
At the half-yearly meeting of the St. Katharine's
Dock. Company to-clay, a dividend at the rate of
2i per cent. for the halflear was declared. -
Soon after the commencement of business to-
day the market for English Stocks showed signs of
recovery from the heaviness apparent yesterday
afternoon. Fresh buyers came forward, both in
real and speculative account, and it is evident that
the market is inherently buoyant. Consols have
been 951 forrnoney and account; and since then
95i I for the latter. The New Three per Cents.

The
committee of Mexican bondholders have re-
ceived advices from Mr. Whitehead, dated Mexico,
the 18th ult. The prirts continued to hold out
against the Governor of the capital, and while this
lasted no remittances could be expected except
through some demonstration on the part of the
English Government. As for Tampico, although
General Garza has had._ to retire from the siege,
he is llovering about and cutting off the 'cord-
Inuttications. The Government troops concen-
trated under Miran:ton and Osollo, near San
14415) had marched against those of Vidaurri
stationed at Zacatecas, under Zuszua, and a con-
flict seas daily expected. General Zuloaga's Go-
vernment were in great pecuniary straits, but
Would, it was believed, obtain another 1 million
from the Church, which possibly may enable them'
to maintain themselves. The persons composing it
are individually most respectable, and profess the
most' satisfactory - disposition towards the bond-
holders, but their only resource seemed to be a die-
P'eal 'of some further portion of -territory to the
-United States:- .In the meanwhile they were pro-
ceeding in the most determined manner against the
foreign residents who refused the contribution of 1
Per cent; on capital, and the official paper of the
17th ult. announced that all foreigners who - op-
Posed: it 'would be sent out of the country. It was
said -that the American Minister bad intimated
that :unless this notice were withdrawn he should
uire his passports. No conclusion bad yet been
arrived at as to the distribution of the funds at the
bank here.
