MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
There has been little variation of importance
during the last few days in the value of most
descriptions of foreign and colonial produce. At
the public sale of indigo the rates realised showed
a decline of 6d. to ls. per lb. upon those current
at the close of the series in February. There
has been a fair attendance of buyers at the foreign
and colonial wool auctions, and prices have been well
maintained. In tea the dealings have been limited,
as buyers have deferred their operations until the
public sales which take place to-day. Sugars have
been inactive, and inferior qualities of foreign have
further receded about ls. per cwt. Coffee, cocoa,
and spices have been extremely dull, and rice has
shown less buoyancy. For saltpetre there has been
a diminished inquiry at a reduction of sd. to ls. per
cwt., and tallow has declined about 3d. to 6d. per
cwt., P.Y.C. on the spot being now quoted 555. 9d.,
and last 3 months 565. per cwt.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday a very
moderate business was transacted, and prices were
without alteration. The sales were estimated at
6,000 bales. The Railway Share Market closed
rather heavily, and quotations continued to tend
downwards.
There were no bullion operations of public im-
portance at the Bank of England yesterday.
The Maidstone, from Australia, has been an-
nounced this morning, with £75,056 ; and the
Fulton, from America, with £20,111.
The general demand for discount accommodation
is much quieter, and, as the available supplies are
abundant, the terms charged for the negotiation of
Commercial paper are, in some respects, easier; at
the same time the drain of gold from the Bank has
Ceased, owing to the recent importations of specie
from Australia and America.
The Bank of France return for the past month
shows a decrease in the bullion of £1,024,900.
The Sydenham has arrived from Melbourne with
15,216 ozs. of gold, or about £60,864.
There was a special meeting of the Submarine
Telegraph Company to-day, at which Sir James
Carmichael, Bart., took the chair. The object was
stated by the chairman to be the consideration of
the Proposition of the directors to lay down two
new submarine cables to France, and to complete.the
telegraphic communication with Denmark, and to
raise the necessary capital in both instances. In the
first instance the limit was £25,000, and in the
latter it would be £50,000. He regretted that
sonae reports had obtained circulation about the
Government being opposed to the landing of the
cable ; but he thought nothing of the kind could be
entertained, seeing that no opposition had been
raised to their lines to Holland and Hanover. A
notice had been received from the Woods and Forests
in respect to their rights in regard to the coasts of
the United Kingdom. A resolution was proposed
ou the part of this company acknowledging these,
and expressing the willingness of the directors to
Confer with the Woods and Forests as to paying
any compensation or damage for the privilege
they sought, which he hoped would remove any
aifficulty. The resolutions were severally passed,
and a vote of thanks was passed to the directors.
A moderate business has been transacted in the
Market for public securities to-day, and the quota-
tions have exhibited increased firmness. Consols
Were at • one time 92k, but they are now
911 91 for money, and 91 for the ac-
count. Numerous purchases are still effected on
behalf of the public, and the Government broker
continues to make his appearance as a buyer for the
Savings Banks Commissioners. The New Threes
