CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
More activity has prevailed in the Foreign and
Le Le
Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days.
re The dealings in tea, however, have been limited,
it without any change of importance in prices.
)r Sugars have slightly advanced in value, while coffee
,h has been in good request at enhanced rates. A
at large business has been done in rice at an advance
,
is of ls. 6d. to 2s. per cwt., chiefly for exportation to.
Ld
America. Saltpetre has also been in fair request.
't
e- At the public sales of Colonial Wool, which com-
is menced yesterday, there was a fair attendance of
bjth home and foreign dealers, and a considerable
Dr quantity was taken for exportation, prices ruling
m about the same as at the close of last auctions.
oa The Tallow Market has remained inactive, but
et
prices showed little variation. P.Y.C., on the spot,
of
o
- is quoted 585., and last three months 555. to 555. 6d.

3y Fresh disasters were recorded among the Greeks
m yesterday afternoon, the failure being announced of
ay Messrs. Theodore Ralli, Sons, and Co., and of Messrs..
Lascaridi and Co. The liabilities of the former are
n.
estimated at £70,000, and of the latter at £50,000,
.r.
but their engagements have been gradually running
or ! off for some time past, and the respective estates
be are expected to yield a good dividend. Further
casualties appear to be apprehended, but the result
in will be influenced to a great extent by the course
Li- which the Bank of France, end the commissioners
a- recently sent to Constantinople to investigate the
at. position of this unfortunate interest, may ultimately
Lia
adopt.
'
er Business in the Cotton Market at Liverpool
at yesterday was rather active, and prices .were well
supported. The sales were 12,000 bales.
id After the meeting of the Bank of England
directors yesterday, the money market assumed a
L.
quieter aspect, although the demand was still rather
Dr, active, and the rates indicated firmness.
Ys About £4,000 in gold was sent into the Bank
n. of England yesterday.
lie The Spanish Financial Commission have notified
ter
that the auction of the Redeemable Debt will take
re-
place at Madrid on the 29th inst., for which pur-
aiS pose 2,052,292 reels have been assigned by the
Government.
A decline of t-- per cent. has taken place in the
,ve market for Public Securities to-day, owing to some
ise sales on speculative account. The embarrassments
the among the Greeks, the position of American affairs,
vas and the continued activity in discount circles, all
vas. tend to create heaviness. Consols are 915 i for
transfer, and 919 92 for June. The New Threes
roll are flat, at 895 5; the Reduced remain at 895 90 ;
Bank Stock is firm, at 232 and 234 ; India ditto, at
t of 225 ; ditto 5 per Cent. Loan, 1015 5 ; and Exchequer
ob-
Bills are heavy, at 10s. to 5.3. dis.

FISHING- IN LOCH TAY.—The fishing season in
Loch Tay since it opened has been unproductive with nets,
and the takes generally have been poor compared with
former years, especially in the month of February and
March. The number of salmon killed with the rod during
the last six weeks, however, has been large, particularly
about Auchmore and the west end Several gentlemen
have caught in the coarse of a few hours from five to six
fish each, weighing from 181 b to 351 b. Eight salmon killed
at Auchmore on Friday last weighed altogether 1411 b.
Owing to the continued drought thelDechart, Lochy, and
other streams which flow into the loch have become very
shallow.

Several American vessels have changed hands here at very
low rates.

The last accounts from Warsaw announce that
committees of recruitment have just been definitely consti-
tuted. This measure would seem to indicate that the Rus-

By a despatch from Madrid, we learn that the
Government has just decided on sending to tho Havannah
