MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

~1~.......~.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
Less animation has prevailed in the markets for
Foreign and Colonial Produce during the last few
days. The operations in tea have been very limited,
without any change of importance in prices.
Sugars have declined about 6d. per cwt., 'while
coffee, cocoa, and rice have also been dealt in at
slightly reduced quotations. Saltpetre, however,
has been in increased demand, and a moderate
business has been done in tallow, without any
material variation in value. The public sales of
foreign and colonial wool are to commence on the
9th inst., and the quantity already arrived amounts
to about 54,000 bales, chiefly from Sydney and
Port Philip.
An extensive business was transacted in the
Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices
advanced id. per lb., owing to the ad a ices from
America. The sales were fully 25,000 bales.
It has been notified that 577 special bonds of the
Danish 3 per Cent. Lean, amounting to the sum
of £65,800, have been drawn for redemption.
There were no bullion operations of importance
at the Bank of England yesterday.
Two vessels have arrived from Australia—vist,
the Calliance, with £120,900, and the Empress of
the Seas with £20,200.
0 wing to the augmented enquiry for money,
chiefly on account of the commercial bills due to-
morrow, the 4th of the month, the rates of discount
still tend upwards, and accommodation on first
class securities can scarcely be obtained in the open
market on lower terms than at the Bank of Eng-
land. It is thought that the demand will immedr-
