CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

During the last few days there has been rather
less activity in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
Markets. Sugars have slightly declined, while full
prices have been obtained for the, finer qualities of
coffee. Rice has been in moderate request with-
out any material change in prices, and the transac-
tions in fruit and spices have been on a rather
moderate scale at about previous rates. Saltpetre
and tallow have been in very limited demand, and
quotations have not varied to any material extent.
There is a fair demand for money, and the rates
are very firm, ranging froth 41 per cent. upwards,
according to the character of the paper:offered for.
negotiation.
The sum of £48,074 has been applied to the re-
demption of 243 Peruvian 3 per Cent. Bonds.
The English Stock Market has been very de-
pressed, in consequence of the distressing accounts
from New York, which, for the moment, engross
the chief attention of the dealers and speculators.
A decline of I per cent. has taken place, Consols
having receded to 911 for money and account,
but a decided recovery has since occurred, the pre-
sent quotations being 911 92. The New Threes
have receded to 904, the Reduced to 901, and Bank
Stock to 232 ; India ditto is firm at 223 and 225 ;
ditto 5 per Cent. 1021 ; and Exchequer Bills are
heavy at 3s. dis.

very circumscribed, and prices tend downwards.

531 to 54 ; Russian 41 per Cents. have receded
