Iig.N.E.Y MARKET AND C

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
There has been rather more activity in the
Foreign and Colonial Producs Market during the
last few days, and in one or two instances prices
have slightly improved. Tea has been in fair re-
quest, at a slight advance. Fine qualities of sugars
have been more in demand, chiefly for home con-
sumption, and steady rates have been realised: In
the refined market no material change has taken
place, but prices continue steady. For coffee there
has been more inquiry, and prices have shown an
oPward tendency. Rum has been dull, as also
spices, and the public sales of cinnamon have gone
off with a heavy tone, at a decline of about ld. per
lb. on late rates. Saltpetre continues at steady
values. Tallow has slightly improved, an advance
of about 6d. per cwt. having been exhibited for
both present and future delivery.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday a fair
amount of business was transacted, 8,000 bales
having been sold at full rates. The Railway Share
Market closed with a more animated appearance,
and Prices exhibited a decided improvement.
About £40,000 in Russian gold was withdrawn
from the Bank of England yesterday.
The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
Behar,, which leaves to-morrow for Bombay, will
1•40 out £189,035 in silver and £1,773 in gold,
_taking a total of £190,808, of which the Govern-
'out sends £158,000.

At the special meeting of the East Kent Railway
"'Pally to-day, several bills were brought forward

7me additional station accommodation ; secondly,

ir66,000; also, for the working of the Margate ex-

ond of £2 per share was declared on the six
months' operations.
At the commencement of business, this morning,
the
Funds were firm, and the enhanced quotations
''''reut Yesterday afternoon were maintained, and
ho uPward tendency was apparent. Since then,
ilvever, the note in the Moniteur, relative to the
thetench and English armaments, coupled with the
rossion on the Bourse, has caused a decline in
