MONEY MARKET AND CITY. NEWS.

.....

CITY, Two o'CLo'ser.
More activity has prevailed in the Foreign And
Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days.
The dealings in tea, however, have been limited,
without any change of importance in prices.
Sugars have slightly advanced in value, while coffee
hali been in good roped at Enhanced rates. A
large business has been done in rice .
at an advance
of is. 6d. to 2s. per cwt., chiefly for expo:tation to
America. Saltpetre has also been in fair request.
At the public sales of Colonial Wool, which com-
menced yesterday, there was a fair attendance of
b ith home and foreign dealers, and a considerable
quantity was taken for exportation, prices ruling
about the same as at the close of last auctions.
The Tallow Market has remained inactive, but
prices showed little variation. P.Y.C., on the spot,
is quoted 588., and last three months 555. to 555. 6d.
per cwt.

Fresh disasters were recorded among the Greeks
yesterday afternoon, the failure being announced of
Messrs. Theodore Ralli, Sons, and Co., and of Messrs.
Lascaridi and Co. The liabilities of the former are
estimated at £70,000, and of the latter at £50,000,
but their engagements have been gradually running
off for some time past, and the respective estates
are expected to yield a good dividend. Further
casualties appear to be apprehended, but the result
will.be influenced to a great extent by the course
which the Bank of France, and the commissioners
recently sent to Constantinople to investigate the
position of this unfortunate interest, may ultimately
adopt.

Business in the Cotton Market at Liverpool
yesterday was rather active, and prices were well
supported. The sales were 12,000 bales.

dir eetors yesterday, the money market assumed a
quieter aspect, although the demand was still rather
active, and the rates indicated firmness.

of :England yesterday.
The Spanish Financial Commission have notified
that the auction of the Redeemable Debt will take
place at Madrid on the 29th inst., for whieh pur-
pose 2,052,292 reals have been assigned by the
Government.

A decline of per cent. has taken place in the
market for Public Securities to-day, owing to some
sales on speculative account. The embarrassments
among the Greeks, the position of American affairs,
and the continued activity in discount circles, all
tend to create heaviness. Consols are 918 d for
transfer, and 911 92 for June. The New Threes
are flat, at 894 1; the Reduced remain at 89f 90;
