CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets have
been rather inactive during the last day or two, the
dealings having been confined to immediate require-
ments in most of the principal staples. At the
public sales of tea which were concluded yesterday
prices exhibited no change of importance except for
the inferior kinds, which Were a shade cheaper.
Sugars have barely supported previous values, while
a reaction has taken place in the value of rice,
owing to the advance in the rate of discount.
Coffee, however, in consequence of the smallness of
stock on hand, has fully maintained its value. At
the public sales of wool the rates established at
the commencement have been fairly maintained,
and the prices obtained at the sales of indigo have
shown an upward tendency for good and medium
descriptions. In the tallow market the dealings
have been of a limited character, particularly as
regards speculative transactions, and prices have
shown little or no change of importance. P.Y.C.,
on the spot, is quoted 585., and last three months,
.558. per cwt.
Continued quietude prevailed in the Liverpool
Cotton Market yesterday, and prices of American
descriptions were to per lb. lower. The sales
were estimated at 7,000 bales.
Another small parcel of gold, viz., £5,000, was
sent into the Bank of England yesterday, but 30,000
sovereigns were withdrawn for exportation.
The Mexican dollars by the Seine have been sold
at 4s. lltd per oz.
The Shannon, which left to-day for the West
Indies, took £5,000 in silver.
There is still a steady demand for discount ac-
commodation at the enhanced quotations, and owing
to the terms asked in the open market the supply
of bills taken to the Bank of England is still con- ,
siderable.

Another failure was announced in the Levant
trade yesterday—viz., that of Messrs. Alexiadi,
Delta, and Co., whose liabilities are supposed to be
about £BO,OOO.

At a meeting of the creditors of Mr. Thomas
Dowling, timber merchant, who recently sus-
pended, the liabilities were stated to be £38,794,
and the assets £14,917, and an offer of 63. in the
pound was made; but a committee was appointed
to consider the proposal, to investigate the estate,
and to report to a future meeting.
Tenders are invited for debentures to the
amount of £25,000 for the Cape of Good Hope.
The bonds to be of £lOO each, bearing 6 per cent.
interest, and redeemable in 1881.
Some large sales of stock having been effected
for transfer, the English Stock Market has pre-
sented a depressed appearance, Consols having re-
ceded to 911 for transfer and 911, d for the ac-
vont. The receipt of lower prices from the Paris
Bourse has also created an unfavourable effect. The
/few ;Threes remain at 89: e ; the Reduced are
heavy at 891 ; and Exchequer Bills at 6s. dis.
Bank Stock has receded to 232 ; India 5 per Cent.
Loan is 1011 1; and ditto i 5 per Cent. Enfaced
Paper 94.

Rather more business has been recorded in
Foreign Securities, and prices show no material
variation. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 701 71; ditto
1868; 55; to 56; Mexican are steady at 221; Rus-
'llan 42 per Cents. at 91a; Spanish are firmer at
'64; ditto Deferred, at 421 ; and Dutch 4 per
Cents. at 99/ and 100 ; Buenos Ayres 6 per Cents.
awe flat at 94 ; and Chilian 6 per Cents. are 100
aad 1011.
Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and Co. report the market
for American securites as very firm. The following
