CITY, Two o'CLocK.
The markets for Foreign and Colonial Produce
during the last few days have been rather more
active. Tea, although quiet, has realised fully late
rates. The inquiries on the part of the trade for
the better qualities of sugar have increased,
and prices have exhibited a slightly upward
tendency. For coffee there has been a good
demand particularly for fine descriptions of Plan-
tation Ceylon, which are comparatively scarce.
Rice, rum, and spices have beent dealt in to a fair
extent, and a moderate amount of business has been
done in new fruit at fully late values. Saltpetre
and tallow have been rather inactive, the specula-
tive business in the latter article having been ex-
ceedingly limited.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
with a steady appearance, and prices were without
alteration. The sales were estimated at 10,000
bales. In the Railway Share Market the transac•
ticns were rather limited, but the quotations exhi.
bited a slight advance.
A sum of £140,000 was added to the stock of
bullion at the Bank of England yesterday.
To-day a call of -X2 10s. per share, or £18,750,
becomes due on the Merthyr, Tredegar, and Aber-
g avenny Railway.
The Delta, which leaves to-day, will take out
£lO,OOO in gold for the Mauritius, and £85,330 in
gold, and £237,660 in silver for Bombay, the whole
of which is on private account.
There is a steady demand for discount accommo-
dation, chiefly on commercial account ; the absorp-
tion for other purposes, in the absence of active
speculation at the Stock Exchange, and of joint-
stock enterprise being comparatively limited, As
the October dividends are now being paid the sup-
plies will be temporarily increased ; and it is pro-
bable also that the demand will for the moment
slightly diminish. Gold continues to flow into
the Bank of England, the shipments to the continent
being very moderate. A portion of the recent
supplies from the United States has been deposited
in that establishment, and it is probable that the
accumulation will make further progress in conse-
quence of the remittances en route from Victoria.
Very little business has been transacted in the
English Stock Market to-day, except in connexion
with the settlement of the account, which has made
satisfactory progress. The funds, however, are
well maintained, although the operations are con-
ducted on a very limited scale. The influx of gold
at the Bank of England, and the favourable position
of monetary affairs, give support to the market, but
they fail to stimulate business. Consols have been
maintained at 951 4 for money, and at 951 for the
Bth proximo. The New Threes are marked 941 ;
the Reduced Annuities, 941 1. Bank Stock is 219
to 221; India ditto has receded to 2171 ; ditto New
Loan is firm, at 1017 ; and ditto Scrip, at 101 1.
The Debentures remain at 95 and Exchequer
Bills at 245. to 275. prem.
A large amount of business is recorded in Foreign
Securities, but prices in most instances show little
variation. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 791 to 801, ex.
; ditto New, 69 to 70. Brazilian 5 per Cents.
have receded to 101; ditto 41 per Cents., to 95: ;
Grenada Active, to 171 ; ditto Deferred, to 5 ; Mexi-
can, to 221 1; Peruvian 4; per Cents., to 904 ;
Spanish 3 per Cents., to 46 ; ditto Deferred, to 341, ;
ditto Passive, to 111; and the Certificates, to 41.
Venesuelan 21 per Cents. are firm, at 27 n ; Chilian
6 per Cents., at 104 ; Russian 41 per Cents., at
991 1; and ditto Scrip, at k dis. Sardinian 5 per
Cents, are steady, at 87.

The Railway Share Market has been very in-
active, and prices in some instances have been a
shade flatter. Eastern Counties, Great Northern,
Midland, and North-Easters (Berwick) have de-
clined ss. ; North-Western, however, improved ss. ;
Bristol and Exeter, Manchester, Sheffield, and
Lincoln, and North Stafford, realised about pre-
vious prices.

In the Foreign Market Lombardo-Venetian
were steady at 12, and Royal Danish at 12.
The Colonial undertakings have been in very
limited request. Grand Trunk of Canada have
advanced to 381 I, and Great Indian Peninsula to
97 and 971. East Indian declined to 100.
For Joint Stock Bank Shares there was scarcely
any inquiry, prices being almost nominal. London
and Westminster realised 57, and Van Diemen's
Land, 131 131.
