CITY, Two O'CLOCK,

The foreign and colonial produce markets, during
the last few days, have not exhibited much activity.
The transactions in tea have been limited, owing to
the expected arrival of the overland mail, the
edifices by which have been received, and li-tile
variation can be quoted in values. Sugar has been
at steady quotations ; coffee firm, particularly good
qualities of plantation Ceylon. In rum a moderate
business has been reported at about previous rates.
Rice has been inactive, and only a few sorts of the
lower kinds for exportation have been reported.
For sltpetre there has bean a very limited inquiry,
and rather lower rates are current ; the public
Salim have been postponed. For indigo there is an
absence of demand of any importance. Tallow has
been dull, and P.Y. C. has declined to 545. 6d. spot ;
545. 3d., April to June ; and 535. 9d. last three
months.

Accounts from Liverpool state that the Cotton
Market yesterday clesd heavily, and prices of
all descriptions continued to decline. The sales
amounted to 7,000 bales, 1,000 of which were
taken by the exporters, and 1,000 by the specu-
lators. The Railway Share Market manifested a
very quiet appearance and quotations were lower.

Further accounts have arrived from the United
States, which report a continued accumulation of
bullion in the city banks of New York. The sup-
plies from California were exceedingly large, while
the exports of specie, on the other band, were cir-
cumscribed. The total amount held by the estab
lishments approached 8,500,0001. Money was
exceedingly easy and trade was improving, but by
slow gradations. In the various stocks and shares,
there was a good deal of activity, and being in de-
mand for investment, they were generally at
enhanced rates.

About 9,0001. in gold was added yesterday to the
stock of bullion in the Bank of England.
The following dividends have baen declared
during the present month :

The meeting of the Ottoman Bank has taken
place to-day. The report has already been pub-
lished, and states that the net profits of the half-
year were 6,1351. 4s. 2d., which, however, the
Directors recommended to be added to the former
balance, forming a sum cf 21,165/. 10s. 83, so as to
establish a reserve fund rather than pay a dividend on
this occasion, more especially as it was necessary to
provide against the consequences of the late crisis,
and the fluctuating and unfavourable state of the
oxchanges at Constantinople. Some aciverse dis-
cussion took place in respect to the proposition,
but the report of the directors was adopted, the
dividend .being thus postponed, but it was expected
that a distribution would take place in October
next.

The dividend proposed at the Londonderry and
ihiniskillen Railway Company to-day was 4s. 6d.
per 121. 103. shares for the half-year after providing
for the 6 per cent. preference shares. The avail-
able suns from the half-year's traffic was 5,6091.
The report was adopted.

The market for English Securities is very dull, and
little or no alteration can be reported in value.
The transactions aro too limited to produce much
variation. Until the present account is arranged
there is not likely to be much revival of specula-
tion. Consols are marked 97 to 97f for money,
and 97i for account. They are now 97 to 97i for
money, and 971 for account. The May price
is 97± India Bonds are 20s. to 255. premium,
and the June Exchequer Bills, 383. premium.
In the Foreign Stock Market business is in-
active, and prices remain without any material
alteration. Turkish 6 per Cents, are 1011 102 ;
French 3 per Cents. 69f. 50g. ; and Peruvian 4i
per Cents. 84

In the Railway Share Market this morning
prices have receded to the extent of about to
per cent. A very moderate busine,s has been re-
ported. Great Western, Lancashire and York-
shire, and North British declined ss. ; Great
Northern, North Western, South Western,
Midland, North Eastern (Berwick), and North-
Nastern (York), 10s. ; and Brighton, 1/. Ca-
ledonian improved 11. Tire Foreign and Colo-
nial lines have also been at sightly reduced
quotations. Paris and Lyons, hn.i Northern of
Franca have receded about ss. ; Kist Indian 10s.;
Grand Trunk of Canada, 11. ; and Great Western
of Canada, 108.
In Mining Shares there is no change of any im-
portance to report.
Joint-Stock Bank Shires are dull, but at steady
rates. London Joint-Stock have declined ss. ;
'Ottoman Bank advanced ss. ; and Union of Aus-
tralia, 53.

Milicollaneous Shares have exhibited no change
requiring a special report.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S-MONDAY.

Subscribers were too busily employed with the Pealing
to bestow much attention upon speculation. The Handi-
caps and the Derby were scarcely touched upon, and the
movements relative to the Two 'Thousand were limited
and unimportant. Clydesdale and The 13.-er were again
head and bead in the betting-400 to 100 was taken
once about the former, but those odds were currently
of6tred during the afternoon ; 5 to 1 would have been
ho oked, freely about el, her ; 200 even was betted between
tb e two. After 8,000 to 1,000 had bee❑ offered against
lentmore, 9 to 1 was taken.
