MONEY MARKET AND CITY ATE if B.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.
More animation has prevailed in the Foreign
and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few
days, and prices generally have shown an upward
tendency. For tea, however, the inquiries have
been very limited. Sugars have slightly advanced,
particularly good. and fine grocery qualities for
home consumption, and in the refined market
higher rates have been current for dried descrip-
tions. Coffee at public sale remained at firm quo-
tations. Sound and fine kinds of fruit continue in
demand. For rice and spices there have been
steady inquiries. Saltpetre remains moderately
active, but no change was apparent in prices, and
tallow has been dealt in to a fair extent at 595. 6d.
to 595. 9d. for present and forward delivery.
Accounts from Liverpool report that the Cotton
Market yesterday closed with rather more anima-
tion, and previous rates were firmly maintained.
The sales amounted to 10,000 bales.

There is very little alteration in the general dis-
count market, which remains quiet, and without
any change of importance as regards the terms of
accommodation. A steady inquiry is reported for
commercial purposes, and parties engaged in dis-
count transactions are not disposed to negotiate
first-class bills under 2 per cent.
The first report of the Madras Irrigation and
Canal Company has been issued, preparatory to the
meeting on the 27th inst. The directors congra-
tulate the shareholders upon the present highly
tatisfactory position and prospects of the undertak- st
Ing•
'. It dwells at some length on Trombuddra pro.
J▪
ed, the reports on which are very encouraging, Si
and gives a general view of the proceedings over a
period of two years, during which time the preli-
minary expenses amounted to only £2,770 17s. 3d.

A sum of about £15,000 in bar gold was taken
from the Bank of England yesterday for transmis-
sion to the Continent.

The market for English Securities to-day has 164
presented rather a quiet appearance, and the quo-
tations
have denoted increased heaviness, a de-
cline of nearly per cent. having taken place.
The transactions, both real and speculative, have
been very limited. Consols have been 961 1, and
they are now 961, with a downward tendency.
The heaviness of the market is increased by the
telegrams from the Paris Bourse, which report
further symptoms of uneasiness in the Rentes.
The New Threes have receded to 94,1 95 ; the
Reduced to 9-11-, 951; and Exchequer Bills to 28s.

tures are 97.
