MONEY DIARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
During the last few days business in the Foreign
and Colonial Produce Markets has been moderately
active. Sugars have fully maintained previous
prices, while coffee and rico have been in more
request, at slightly enhanced rates. Tea and salt-
petre have shown little variation in values, while
there has been a more active inquiry for tallow, at
slightly higher quotations.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday there
was a very extensive demand, especially on specu-
ation, and prices of American advanced about :Id.
per lb. The sales amounted to 30,000 bales.
A moderate demand for accommodation is re-
ported in the general discount market, and, owing
to the continued abundance, the rates still exhibit a
downward tendency, which it is thought will soon
induce the Bank authorities to reduce their mini-
mum quotation to 4 per cent.
A small supply of gold, viz., about £4,000, was
sent into the Bank of England yesterday.
The particulars have been advertised of a num-
ber of Greek bonds which have been drawn for

way of Canada for the week ending the 10th inst.
exhibited a decrease of £1,537 compared with last
year.

morning, purchases having been resumed, a further
improvement of } per cent. has been established.
