AIONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
44ring the last few days have not exhibited much
_activity. There has been a fair inquiry for the
better qualities of tea, and prices have been well
sePported ; but sugars are in very limited demand,
and at slightly reduced quotations. The inquiries for
coffee were not very active, and but little variation
was apparent in the value of both Plantation and
Native Ceylon. There has been a rather active
business in the fresh arrivals of new currants and
have
rates have been realised. Rice and spices
shown an upward movement in value, but
the demand for saltpetre and tallow has not been
very active. Speculative business in the latter
however, is in some measure checked by
the late failures in Russia.
Accounts from Liverpool report that in the
cotton Market yesterday business was rather dull,
112 d American descriptions were I per lb. lower.
The sales were estimated at 7,000 bales.
The Agincourt has been announced this morning
from Port Philip, with £133,560 in specie.
A call of £2 per share, or £22,000, is due to-day
ea the New Brunswick and Canada Railway
shares,

Gold continues to flow into the Bank of England,
1.11 consequence of the diminished export demand
I°l* the continent. Yesterday about £lO,OOO was
added to the metallic reserves of that establish-
nl ent, and it is expected that the principal part of
the
recent supplies will follow as soon as they are
delivered.

Th. bar silver brought by the last West India
steamer has been sold at 611 d. per ounce, being
the Same price as that realised for the previous
BnPply.
The inquiry for money being quiet the rates
charged for accommodation continue without any
&age of importance. The demand at the Bank of
-ciagland is very moderate, but the authorities are
Probably obtaining some employment for their re-
sources in making advances on stock until the trans-
f." books re-open. In the general market business

'auk minimum, but it is principally confined to
Paper of a first-class character and having only a
Short period to run.
The Stock • Exchange markets to-day have pre-
sented
a very quiet appearance, the transactions for

activity. Consols for money and account have been

4,5,000 stock for the Savings Banks. The favour-
