CITY, Two o'CLock.
'he Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets dur-
ing the last few days have shown rather more
buoyancy, and higher rates have been realised for
several of the principal staples. There has been
am active demand for tea, and some large transac-
tions have taken place in common congou. Sugars
have been in more active request, and prices have
exhibited an upward tendency, particularly for
good and fine qualities of British Plantation. In
the Refined Market higher rates have been current
for dried goods. Extensive sales of Plantation
Ceylon coffee have taken place, and enhanced prices
have in most instances been obtained. The in-
quiries for rice, however, have been limited, and
rather easier rates have been accepted by holders.
Saltpetre bas been dull, owing to large quantities
being announced for pubiic sale. The sales of
ndigo continue to proceed with considerable ani-
mation, the rates realised at the opening being well
'maintained. The sales of foreign and colonial
wool will commence on the 21st inst., when the
large quantity of 88,000 bales will be put up for
public competition. Tallow continues extremely
inactive, and prices have further receded. P.Y.C.
on the spot is at 3s. 61, and last three months,
545. per cwt.
Owing to the decline in the terms of discount,
the joint-stock banks have reduced their rate of
interest for deposits to 11 per cant. Even at that
quotation they are likely to have more money than
they can immediately employ, in consequence of
the dulness of trade and speculation. With the
exception of a few railway calls and loan, instal-
ments there is nothing, apart from commercial
requirements, to stimulate the demand ; and until
an impulse is given to enterprise, the market may
be expected to retain its present easy appearance.
Accounts from Liverpool state that in the Cotton
Market, yesterday, rather less activity was appa-
rent, but prices remained very firm. The sales were
estimated at 10,000 bales. In Railway shares a
moderate business was transacted, and prices in
most instances presented a slight improvement.
There were no bullion operations at the Bank of
England yesterday. The demand for silver is
moderately active, and the price remains steady at
.ss. 21d., but a few parcels have been disposed of at
ss. 21d. per oz. standard.
The Ocean Queen has been announced this morn-
ing from New York, with £280,000 in specie.
The market for English Securities to-day has
been rather quieter, but the variation has amounted
to =2 per cent. Consols closed yesterday at 95! i ;
this morning they were 9311, but an improvement
to 952 I has since occurred. The latest quotation
is 951 -a. The other markets all show an im-
proving tendency. Several transfers have taken
place, at prices ranging from 951 to 952,

JUST WHAT WAS TO BE EXPECTED.—..."
lowing important bits of news," says the Vienna e coneol-
-
apondent of the Times, " are from official sources :—.4 A.
very unfriendly feeling has sprung up between the Em-
peror Napoleon and Victor Emmanuel. His Holiness the
Pope was burnt in effigy at Milan a few days ago, and the
Lombard Jesuits have come to this 'City (Vienna) as their
sarthlY paradise.' "
