CITY, Two o'CLocK.
During ti to last few days there has been very
little busines s in the market for foreign and colo-
nial produce. In tea the dealings by private con-
tract have be en particularly limited, as parties are
waiting the arrival of the Overland Mail. A
large quantity, however, is announced for pub-
lic sale dui ing the present week, and prices
are expectei I to rule rather higher. Sugar has
been in ver y limited demand, the trade gene-
rally exhibit ing little disposition to buy at
present rates.. The stocks, however, show little
alteration cot! 'pared with those of the same period
last year. TI to quantity held in London on the
16th October c if British Plantation was 39,228 tons
against 38,642 , tons at the same date of 1857, while
of Foreign it -was 35,579 tons against 23,828 tons
in 1857, the lc ‘tal being 74,607 tons in 1858, and
62,470 tons v t 1857, showing an increase of
12,157 tons. Coffee has been very quiet,
but prices It Ave been steady. Rice has
been almost neglected, the few dealings
reported being merely for exportation, and at a
slight reductio .n on former rates. In fruit the
transactions ha ye been on a very moderate scale,
the large arriv •als both in London and Liverpool
having in som e measure depressed the market.
For saltpetre VI iere has been a moderate inquiry
for the better d escriptions, but, in most instances,
at lower quota tions. The public sales of indigo
were brought ; to a termination yesterday.
Of the quantil ty brought forward, it is estimated
that about 6,72 6 chests have been sold, 5,996 bought
in, and 3,121 cl tests withdrawn. About 4,500 chests
were, taken for exportation. Good and fine quali-
ties of Bengal sold at a decline of about 3d. to 6d.
Middling and ordinary at par. Madras at an ad-
vance of 3d., ar td Kurpahs 3d. to 9d. per lb., com-
pared with the rates current at the last July sales.
Tallow has bee 11 flat, and prices in all positions
show a declinii rig tendency.
Letters front Liverpool report that the Cotton
Market, yeste: rd#, closed' heavily, and prices
tended downwards. The sales amounted to 6,000
bales. In the R ailway Share Market only a limited
business was tr ansacted, although prices were fully
Maintained.

Some anxiety is evinced, especially at the Stock
Exchange, to I ascertain the movement of the ex-
changes during the next fortnight, because the
recent decline or id the increased demand for specie
in Germany has created an impression that a large
quantity of gad may be withdrawn from this
aide- This opinion, however, is not generally
entertained by tlaose acquainted with the state of
trade ; and, alth( ugh remittances may be forwarded
for special purposes, no long sustained efflux may
be apprehended. Meanwhile moderate supplies
are coming in from America, and at least three
quarters of a million sterling will be shortly re-
ceived from Australia.
There was rather more inquiry for discount ac-
commodation yesterday, but the market still retains
a quiet and and. plethoric appearance.
