MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets, dur-
ing the last few days, have been more active, and
a fair amount of business has been done in most
of the principal staples. Tea brought fully late
rates, and previous prices were well sustained for
all descriptions of sugars. For coffee there has
beau a better inquiry, and owing to the small
quantities announceed for public sale, prices have
tended upwards for good and fine descriptions of
Plantation Ceylon. Rice has been in better request,
and at enhanced rates; and for fruit slightly ad-
vanced prices have been obtained. Saltpetre con-
tinued dull, without any change of importance as
regards values; and in tallow business has been
less active, prices for present delivery having
slightly receded.

In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday there
was a good demand for all descriptions, and prices
were firm. The sales were about 15,000 bales.
About £67,000 in gold was sent into the Bank of
England yesterday.
The Ceylon, which leaves to-morrow for India,
China, &e., will take out £53,909, viz., £37,060 in

of the value; of £2,000, have been cancelled.
A steady demand for discount accommodation is
reported, and the quotations continue steady.
The Funds this morning opened buoyantly, and
a fresh rise of per cent. occurred, but the specula-
tors then came forward to take their profits, and a
reaction of per cent. suddenly ensued. Consols
for money and the 10th were 931 a ; they are now
921 93 for the October account ; they were 934 l-
and have since dropped to 934 The New Threes

ancy, and a fair amount of business has been trans-
acted. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 791 80; ditto, 1858,
651 66 ex div. ; Spanish have improved to 491 ;
Mexican to 211; and Buenos Ayres Deferred to 271;
Peruvian 41 per Cent's. are flat at 97 ex div. ; ditto
Dollars Bonds have advanced to 87.

Less buoyancy has been apparent in the Railway
Share Market, and in some instances prices have
slightly given way. Eastern Counties have receded
ss. ; North Westerns and North Eastern (Berwick),
10s.; and South Easterns, £1 ; Edinburgh, Perth,
and Dundee, Great Northern, South Westerns, and
North British, however, have advanced ss.

less firmness. South Australian and Lombardo-
Venetian realise 17t ; Grand Trunk of Canada
have declined to 201 ; Great Indian Peninsula to
99 ; and East Indian to 102.

have continued dull, without any material change
in prices. London and Westminster, however,
improved 55., and Union of Australia 58. ; Aus-
tralian Agricultural and Peninsular and Oriental
Steam realise previous values.
