21101VEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocx.

There has been very little animation in the
Foreign and Colonial Produce Market during the
last few days, although prices have in most in-
stances been fully supported. Tea has been inactive,
but at full rates. For sugar the demand has
been • chiefly for home consumption, and the
better descriptions have sold slowly, at former
In the refined market, however,
theretin o has been a slight improvement. Plan-
at Ceylon coffees continue in fair request,
and the finer qualities have slightly advanced.
Rice has been exceedingly dull with no alteration
to report in values. For rum there has been a
steady inquiry; and saltpetre and tallow have
suewn less firmness. The public sales of foreign
and colonial wool have proceeded with greater
animation, owing to the more favourable character
°f the continental adviccs, and the prices current
at the opening have been fully sustained.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday a
steady business was transacted, and 10,000 bales
\Tem sold at very full rates. The railway share
market closed with rather more activity, and prices
tended upwards.
Money continues in moderae request at previous
rates. The India Loan is now awaited with
some interest by the investing public, who, it is
telPected, will subscribe liberally, notwithstanding
the discount to which most of the newly-created
state securities have descended. Indian in-
;estinents generally have been more inquired
during the last few days, and there can be no
uenbt that the demand, if continued, will soon
carry up the value of most of the railway shares,
Berae of which are still at a discount, to a satisfac-
tory premium. While such opportunities are pre-
sented for the employment of capital with 5
Per Cent secured, no surprise can be felt at
the disinclination shown by the public to give their
support to new projects which yield no immediate
return, and, after all, may prove wholly unsuc-
cessful.

Further arrivals of gold are daily expected, and
although a large proportion of• the remittance
brought by the Red Jacket has been taken for the
continent, a further accumulation at the Bank is
fully expected.

The settlement of the account in Consols has
been the chief business attended to to-day, but
Prices have again exhibited indications of buoyancy,
"ring to the favourable advices from the Conti-
nent. There has been very little altera-
tion, but the tendency seems upwards, the
Funds being per cent. higher than at
the close of business yesterday. Consols are now
about 96 to 961 for money, and 964 to 961 for
April. A very buoyant tone seems to pervade, all
departments of the Stock Exchange. The lltew

ket is the rise of 1 per cent. in Chilian Scrip, which
44 advanced from 2 to 1 discount.
In the Railway Share Market a rather large
anlount of business has been transacted, and in
Illost instances an improvement of about 1 to 1 per
