CITY, Two o'CLocx.

During the last day or two there has been rather
more buoyancy in the Foreign and Colonial Pro-
duce Markets. In some instances stocks are rather
limited compared with those at the same time last
year, and prices have shown a slight improvement.
For tea there has been a rather limited inquiry,
but prices generally are well maintained. Good
qualities of coffee continue in active request, and at
advanced values. Sugars have been in good de-
mand, particularly the better descriptions of British
West India, and for some qualities an advance of
6d. to ls. per cwt. has been established. Cocoa
continues dull, and the demand for rice has been
only of a moderate character. Saltpetre has exhi-
bited little variation of importance; and. tallow has
shown symptoms of an advance in value.
In the Liverpoot Cotton Market yesterday a
considerable amount of business was transacted, and
prices were firmly maintained. The sales were
estimated, at • 7,000 bales. The Railway Share
Market closed steadily, and quotations tended

upwa:
There is very little alteration in the money
market, but increased easiness is apparent owing to
the abundant supplies and the limited demand.

have been chiefly connected with the Consol liqui-
dation, but the Funds continue firm, and rather
