CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets 1
during the last few days have been moderately t
active, and most of the leading articles have been I
dealt in at steady rates. Tea has been dull, and
until the delivery of the letters by the Overland
Mail to-morrow little alteration can be expected in
the market. Sugar has been in fair demand, more
particularly good grocery descriptions fit ler home
consumption. In the refined market also a rather ;
large business has been done, and at fully late
values. Coffee has been steady, and good coloury
qualities of Plantation Ceylon have been at full
value's. Rice has been dui', as also saltpetre. The
public sales of colonial wool continue to proceed
with animation, and the rates current at the open-
ing of the series are fully supported. Tallow has
been rather firmer. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted
48s. 3d., and for la--t three months delivery 48s.
6d., and town t Blow 465. Gd. to 464. 9d. per cwt.
The operations in the bullion department of the
Bulk of England continue limited, but it is fully
believed that a fair proportion of the 303,0001,
brought by the Heather Bell will be added to the
stock ( f precious metals. The demand for exporta-
tion to the East and also to France is very quiet
and likely to continue so, in consequence of the
alteration in the exchanges. The latest advices
from America report a slight 'advance in the quota-
tions for 60 days' bills, and there is some proba-
bility of moderate remittances being received from
that country,
The Liverpcol Cotton Market yesterday closed
with a heavy aspect, and prices of all kinds were
unchanged. The sales were estimated at from
7,000 to 8,000 bales, 500 of which were taken for
export, and 500 on speculation.
At the meeting of the Cobra Copper Company
to-day a dividend of it. per sh are was declared for
the half year.
The general demandfor discount continues with-
out alteration, and the terms are still fully per
cent, below the minimum. Early next week, how-
ever, there is likely to be more activity among
the bankers, &c., owing to the numerous pay-
ments for which provision has to be made.
A dividend of is. Gd. per share is recommended
by the directors of the Mariquita and New Granada
Mining Company.
Trade in France is progressing steadily, and
during the last fortnight operations among the
manufacturing interest have increased in conse-
quence of some large American orders.
With regard to business in this country, it may
also be asserted that there are indications of im-
provement in most departments. Occasional
failut es are announced, but they are not of general
importance, and are principally for small amounts.
The suspension has just been reported of
Messrs. Seaman and Keen, in the silk trade, but
the liabilities are limited. Trade may nevertheless
be considered healthy ; and while speculation
continues so quiet, there is nothing to lead
to the anticipation of any serious disasters.
A very small amount of business has been re-
corded in the English Stock Market. Speculation
is almost dormant, as the operators are awaiting
the settlement, which will take place on the 4th
proximo, Meanwhile, few dealings, except in
connection with the usual arraegements, will
be effected. Consols have been 951 1 for money
and9s for account. They are now about 95/
sellers for both. The New Threes and the Re-
duced are 96i -11. Exchequer Bills, June, 235. to
26a prem. Bank Stock has risen to 225 227.
A rather limited business hat b'en transacted
in the market for Foreign Securities, and the
alterations in prices have not been important.
Turkish 6 per Cents, are 951 ; ditto 4 per Cents.,
; Brazilian Scrip, die, to par ; Peruvian 4i
per Cents., 891 ; ditto Uribarren, 76 ; Spanish 3
per Cents., 431 ; Venezuela 5 per Cents., 39i ;
and Dutch 2i per Cents., 66k.
A. moderate amount of business has been trans-
acted this morning in the Railway Share Market,
and a further alight advance may be reported
on most of the leading lines. Great Western,
Lancashire and Yorkshire, Midland, North•
Eastern (Berwick) and North-Eastern (Leeds) Mt-
Proved 58., and Great Northern and South-
E"tern, 10s. The foreign lines are very inactive,
aad show little or ne alteration in values.
In the Colonial Market East Indian have ad-
vanced ss. to 109. Grand Trunk of Canada,
Great Indian Peninsula, and one or two others
fully supported previous rates.
Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
have been moderately active. London and County
have declined ss. ; London and Westminster, ss.
Oriental Bank, ss. ; Ottoman Ba ik, ss. ; and
Union of Australis, 10s. In the Miscellaneous
Market South Australian Land have receded to
361, and Atlantic Telegraph are quoted 300.
General Steam Navigation are dealt in at 25.
