MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
during the last few days have exhibited little va-
riation of importance as regards prices. In same
Of the principal staples a moderate business has
been transacted. Tea has continued exceedingly
firm, owing to the falling off in the shipments, as
announced ix the advices by the overland mail.
British plantation sugar has been in fair demand
at about former prices, chiefly, however, for home
consumption. The inquiry for Dative Ceylon coffee
on export account has been rather active and full
rates have been realised. Rice has been dull, and
the few transactions recorded have been at former
quotations. Spices and saltpetre have exhibited no
material change, the high rates asked by holders of
'the latter article preventing extensive transactions.
The tallow market has been rather more active,
and the speculative dealings for forward delivery
have been numerous, prices generally exhibiting an
PWard tendency.
More inquiries formoney are now experienced, the
applications both in Lombard-street and at the
Bank of England having increased within the last
two or three days. The rates of discount tend up-
Wards, but no positive alteration can yet be an-
nounced, and if the demand should subside,
after the payments of the 4th of the
Tnth, less firmness may be again experienced.
immediate requirements of the Indian
authorities, viz., £7,000,000, may not exercise a
"veil/ important influence, for money is abundant,
al. though the public seem disinclined to employ it
in speculative enterprise. The Indian Budget has
created no surprise, as it merely verifies the esti-
mates previously formed of the assistance that
would be required to provide for the current
financial year.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday busi-
ness 'was very dull, and prices remained without
alteration. The sales were estimated at 8,000
ales. The Railway Share Market continued
Quiet, and prices heavy.
There were no bullion operations of importance
theat the Bank of England yesterday. The gold by
Asia from New York, viz., £Bl,OOO has been
taken for the Continent.
There was a meeting of the Northern Counties
dilicni Railway Company to-day, when a further
vision of ls. 4d. per share from the assets on hand,
Was Proposed, and agreed to unanimously.
Decreased firmness has been apparent in the
market for Public Securities to-day. Notwith-
-Btanding the unfavourable Indian financial state-
hat, business continues dull, but a few purchases
been effected, which, together with the im-
re°vement on the Paris Bourse, have exercised a
neficial influence. Consols are 94i 95 for money
and account, and the tendency is favourable.
