CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

Business in the foreign and colonial produce
Markets during the last few days has continued
very dull, and for most of the principal staples
holders have accepted lower rates. Tea, however,
has maintained its value. Sugars have declined
about 6d. per cwt., while rice, fruit, and spices are
a shade cheaper. Good and fine qualities of coffee
have been in limited request, but inferior descrip-
tions have declined in price. The tallow market
has continued very inactive, with a further down-
Ward tendency. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted 525.
9d., and last three months 525. per cwt.
About £68,000 in gold was taken into the Bank
Yesterday.
A moderate demand for money is now experi-
enced in the general discount market, but the rates
show no alteration of importance.
There was a good demand for cotton in the
Liverpool market yesterday, and 12,000 bales were
sold, 3,000 of which were for export and on specu-
lation at about former quotations.
At the twentieth annual meeting of the South
Australian Banking Company, held to day, Mr. E.
Divett in the chair, it was stated that the opera-
tions of the bank during the past year have been of
ft satisfactory character, the net profit having
amounted to £43,513. A dividend of 10 per cent.
per annum, free of income tax, was therefore
declared.

Increased heaviness has prevailed in the Market
for Public Securities to-day, Consols having re-
ceded to 89f, 1. for transfer, and 901 1 for the ac-
count. Sales continue to be made, partly on ac-
count of the uncertainty felt regarding the move-
ments of the Conservative party. The advices from
America also create depression. The New Threes
are 891 ; the Reduced 891 I; Exchequer Bills,
March, 7s. dis; ditto June, par; India 5 per Cent.
loan is 98N ; ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper, 94 ;
ditto 54 per Cent., 1001 ; and ditto Bonds are 12s.
dis.

Foreign Securities are very inactive, and prices
have exhibited a decided downward tendency.
Turkish 6 per Cents. are 71i to 721; ditto, 1858,
461 ; Mexican, 211 a ; Brazilian, 981; and Sar-
dinian, 781. _

The dealings in the Railway Share Market have
been rather numerous, and prices have, in most
instances, shown a downward tendency in sym-
pathy with Consols. Caledonian, Eastern Counties,
Great-Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire, South-
Western, North-Eastern (Berwick), and South-
Eastern declined ss. ; Midland, 10s.; and Man-
chester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, £l.
Business in the Foreign and Colonial undortak-
ing,s has continued inactive, without any material
change in prices. Great Western of Canada have
declined about ss. ; and. Great Indian Peninsular
improved 55.

For Mint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous shares
there has been only a limited inquiry, without
Change of importance in values.
