NONEY MARKET AND CITY ITEM'S.

CITY, Two o'CLoCK.
In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets the

dealings during the last few days have been of a rather
limited character. Tea has remained dull at pre-
vious rates. Sugar, however, has been in fair

request, and for some descriptions slightly higher s
rates have been obtained. Coffee, rice, fruit, and
spices have only been in limited request, without
material change in prices. At the public sales of
indigo there has been no great variation to record
in the prices obtained, and the tallow market has
been dull for both present and forward delivery.
More activity prevailed in the Liverpool cotton
market yesterday, and prices tended upwards. The
si
sales were 15,000 bales.

The supply of commercial bills in the general 81,.',,k,;
discount market continues very moderate, and the 25'
rates show rather a downward tendency. stock

traffic returns. Great Northerns, North-Westerns, li
