3101VE.F MARKET .AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
There is very little alteration to notice in con-
fiction with the money market. The demand in
most quarters continues very quiet, and the rates
remain without variation. The tendency is cer-
tainly not in an upward direction, although
't was generally expected last week that
the Bank minimum quotation would have
been carried to 3 per cent., owing to the
sudden demand which arose for accommodation.
It appears, however, that many persons hastened
to obtain assistance, under the impression that if
they waited a few days, higher terms would be en-
forced ; and the consequence is that the inquiry has
sensibly abated, and the market again presents a
quiet appearance.
The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon exhi-
bited an advance in the ratio on Amsterdam, the
quotation for Hamburg, however, was rather lower.
There were no bullion operations at the Bank of
England yesterday. The £llB,OOO by the South-
ampton, and the £90,000 by the African, however,
have been taken for the Continent.
In the Liverpool cotton market yesterday a
Moderate business was transacted, and 6,000 bales
Were sold, at previous rates. The railway share
market closed with a more animated appearance,
and prices were again rather higher.
In the Foreign and Colonial produce markets
easiness continues rather restricted ; purchasers
Merely operate for immediate wants, but prices
are generally well maintained. Sugar is dull,
and a decline of 6d. per cwt. is reported. Rum
d cocoa are steady, and plantation Ceylon coffee
la In good demand at full rates. Tea is quiet, acid
for rice there is little inquiry at previous quotations.
saltpetre is in increased demand at former rates ;
and in tallow there is no alteration of importance.
The sales of sugar and coffee now progressing are
not very extensive, but a rather large quantity of
aPlees is being disposed of by auction.
The market for Public securities closed yesterday
With a buoyant appearance, Consols being 951,
but this morning diminished firmness has been
recorded, the quotations having receded to 951 ,•1 for
money and account. This unfavourable change is
Mainly attributed to speculative rates, the effect of
Which is seen tin a decline of about 1 per cent.
The bona fide operations have included a purchase
