The following appeared in our later editions
of yesterday :
The funds were very quiet, but more firmness was
shown. The closing quotations presented a recovery of
1-16 to per cent. Of the home influences in opera-
tion at the moment the principal rests, perhaps, with
the return. of broken weather. In the market for
British railway stocks a fresh stimulus was given by the
preparation for Friday's settlement. The applications
at the discount-office at the Bank were to a fair extent,
but the general market was very easy. Best bills, 3,1
per cent.—Daily News City Article.
The funds opened without variation, and remained
quiet. In the discount market there was rather more
deinand, and at the Bank a fair business has been trans-
acted. About £20,000 in bar gold was taken from the
Bank, it is supposed for Spain, whither remmittances
are still going forward in payment for wheat. There is
at present no gold for sale in the market, all that was
offering having been taken yesterday for the India
steamer. The silver from Mexico, to arrive by the mail
steamer due on Friday, is expected to exceed a million
sterling. Time will be required to dispose of this
amount, but there are some large orders for China on
the market. In the railway market the preparations
for the settlement commencing to-day (Wednesday) have
exercised a favourable influence, the floating supply of
stocks remaining limited; but the principal cause of
firmness is the increasing confidence of the public in
railway property, and the consequent indisposition to
sell.—Times City Article.

The LONDON COLONIAL PRODUCE MARKET to
day had a steady tone.

Sugar : The Market was steady; no change for
the week.

Coffee : 250 bags Costa Rica sold at 65s to

Common Congou was sold at is
Rice : 1,260 bags Bengal middling to good sold
at Ils 6d to 12s ; the market was steady.
Saltpetre : Business was rather quiet, holders

The LONDON TALLOW MARKET to-day was
steady, with rather less disposition to buy ; 53s
was the price for the last three months, and 53s 6d
for spring.
The BOROUGH HOP MARKET.—AII kinds of
Hops in request at very full prices. The Hops
come down miserably short, and duty backed at
