CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

There has been very little animation in the
markets for Foreign and Colonial Produce during
the last few days, and prices generally have shown
little or no variation. Sugars have realised high
prices, particularly good grocery descriptions. Tea
continued in limited request, and only moderate
transactions have been recorded in coffee and rice
at Slightly reduced rates. Saltpetre, owing to a
rather large quantity being announced for public
sale, has slightly declined, while a moderate busi-
ness has been done in tallow, both for consumption
am on speculative account.
_ .

The unfavourable change in the tendency of the
Specie movement was further developed yesterday
t
the withdrawal of 19000 from the Bank of
England , which, together with the £BO,OOO by the
Shooria Mooria, will be sent to France for the pur-
chase of silver on Eastern account.
There was more animation in the Liverpool
Cotton Market yesterday, and previous rates were
Well supported.
