CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
during the last few days have been moderately ac-
tive, and for most of the principal staples prices
have been well sustained. Tea fully supported at
previous quotations. Sugars have slightly ad-
vanced, while coffee, rice, and spices have been in
fair request at full rates. Saltpetre, however, has
been dull. Tallow has been in more request and
prices firm.
About £31,000 in 'gold was sent into the Bank
of England yesterday.
The Armenian has arrived from the West Indies
with £13,600 in gold.
Notice has been given by the Spanish Financial
Commission that the auction of the Foreign Re-
deemable Debt will take place at Madrid on the
28th, for which purpose the Government have
assigned 3,495,872 reales.'
The Stock Exchange has been thrown into a state
of excitement to-day, in consequence of the failure
of several members who were unable to meet their
engagements. At an early hour it transpired that
a member had suspended, and immediately after-
wards another and rather important dealer
was " declared," which from the extensive nature
of his transactions created great astonishment ; a
species of panic then ensued, and no less than six
additional failures took place. So many embar-
rassments have not occurred for a considerable
period, and the market for English Funds
has, consequently, been in a very agitated
state. No reliable estimate can yet be
formed with regard to the total liabilities of the re•
spective defaulters, nor can any intelligence be
obtained respecting the dividend each estate is
likely to produce. The misfortune is, of course,
attributable to the recent advance in prices, the
parties in question having operated in expectation
of a contrary movement, although it might have
been supposed that the advance which has taken
place would result as a natural consequence of the
improvement in monetary affairs, and the satisfac-
tory completion of the harvest.

The English Stock Market opened with a quiet
appearance, Consols being about 9311 for money,
and 931 for account. Per some time business
was suspended, but prices are now at a farther
advanc,, viz., about 93,1-, 1, and 93/ 91 respectively.
The New Threes have advanced to 91 92 ; the
Reduced are firm, at 9141; India Stock has risen
to 222 ; ditto New Loan Scrip is steady, at 1034
104 ; Exchequer Bills, March, are 2s. dis. ; ditto,
June, Bs. prem.

The only feature of importance in the Foreign
market has been the rise in Mexican stock—viz.,

to 221- .77,-; Turkish 6 per Cents. are 821 4 ; ditto,
1858, 68:} Equador are firm, at 15T50 but Spanish
Deferred have receded to 41Z-, and Sardinian to
79-1,-.; Russian 41 per Cents, remain at 901,.
Busir ess in the Railway Share Market has con-
tinued moderately active, but a slight downward
movement has taken place in values. Lancashire
and Yorkshire have receded ss. ; North Western
and South Western, 10s.; and Brighton, Midland,
and South Eastern, £l. Bristol and Exeter, Great
Northern, Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, and
Norfolk have improved ss.
The Foreign and Colonial lines have been
dull, and without material change in values. Great
Western of Canada receded about ss. ; and East
Indian and Great Indian Peninsula improved ss.
Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
are at steady rates. London Joint Stock realise
3511; Oriental Bank, 501 ; Union of London, 27
to 27-fr ; and Royal Mail Steam, 501.
