CITY, Two o'CLocK.
In the Foreign and Colonial. Produce Markets
during the last few days there has been a very
limited business transacted, prices in most in-
stances having tended downwards. Tea has been
very limited demand, and the few bar-
gains reported in sugar have been at a slight
reduction on former values. Coffee and
cocoa have been much neglected, and in
rice the transactions have been to a moderate
extent, at about former rates. Saltpetre has been
rather active and prices have been maintained.
The public sales of Colonial Wool continue to be
well attended, and for the better qualities rather
higher rates are obtainable than at the opening of
the series. Tallow has exhibited very little
activity, the dealings having been limited. P.Y.C.
on the spot is quoted 56s to 56s 3d, and last three
months 56s 6d per cwt.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
with a rather animated appearance, and 12,000
bales were sold at an advance of O. per lb. for all
descriptions. In the Railway Share Market a fair
amount of business was transacted, and prices were
very firm.
The advises from New York report no new fea-
ture of importance. The supply of money con-
tinued to be in excess of the demand, and the ex-
change on London was very firm at 110 to 1108,
Which will admit of a very trifling profit on the
shipment of gold to this country. The stock of
specie in the City Banks on the 23d April amounted
to £5,213,631, which was an increase of £118,009
compared with the previous return.
A further sum of £12,000 was withdrawn from
the Bank of England yesterday for transmission to
the Continent, and it is expected that the recent
remittances from Australia and America will soon
follow.

To-day a 'call of £3- per share, or £41,667, be•
comes due on the Bombay and Baroda Railway.
The Mermaid has been announced this morning
from Melbourne with £53,916, the Sussex with
£98,756, and the Europa from the United States
With £106,486.
The payment of the £2,000,000 Exchequer Bonds
due yesterday at the Bank of England has favour-
ably influenced the money market, and as a portion
of the amount. is available for reinvestment, some
"feet may also be produced on the value of stocks
and shares. Continued purchases are being made
at the low prices occasioned by the panic, and hence
tile indications of improvement already noticed.
There is still a very quiet market for Public
"Securities, but the 'quotations still indicate an im-
proved tendency, the Funds having risen about 1
per Cent. With regard to speculation no change
can. be reported, as the transactions daily entered
i.„110 are of the most unimportant character. The
uonsols settlement will be completed to-morrow,
and those who are unable to meet their engage-
luents, after the delay granted them, will be sus-
pended in accordance with the rules of the
;‘11" se." Consols have been 911 92, and 92

9'llae in the Rentes, the latest quotation is

The New India Loan Scrip is rather firmer at
21 to 2 discount, being marked 921 to 93.
Business in Foreign Securities is very inactive; -
