CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

Continued activity is reported in the general dis-
count market, and the inquiries at the Bank of
England are also very extensive. Upon the whole,
however, an easier feeling seems to prevail, and as
soon as the immediate payments on account of the
Indian Loan are completed some slight relaxation
in the terms is not considered improbable.
There were no bullion operations at the Bank of
England yesterday.
No material variation was exhibited in the
Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday
business was unusually dull, and prices were
decidedly lower. The sales only amounted to
3,000 bales.

The public sales of indigo commenced yesterday
with a fair attendance of buyers. The biddings
have not been very active, and the general tone
that prevailed was unfavourable ; considerable
Support, however, was given to quotations by the
withdrawal of several quantities by importers, The
rates realised compared with those current at the
last October sales showed an advance of about 3d.
to 6d. per lb. for ordinary and medium qualities.
The quantity declared is 7,779 chests, of which
1,811 have passed the chair, 764 were withdrawn,
475 bought in, and 572 sold.
