CITY NEWS---THIS DAY.

CITY, TWELTE O'CLOCK.

The inquiry for discount accommodation at the

The directors of the Great Indian Peninsula
Railway Company have made a call of L 2 per
share, payable on or before the 29th inst.
The following remarks upon the tea trade are
from Messrs. Layton, Hulbert, and Co.'s circular :
" The great feature of the past fortnight has been the ar-
rival of the new season's Congou, ex Fiery Cross and Fly-
ing Spur; the former reaching this on the 27th ultimo
the latter on the following day. Owing to the general want
of quality, and the very high cost of these classes in China,
a most unsatisfactory opening is to be noted, and less
business is reported than in almost any previous season
a comparatively small quantity only having changed hands
at prices ranging from 2s. 2d. to 2s. 10d. per lb. Judging
from the lukewarmness shown by the trade generally, as
also by shippers, no great activity is looked for till prices
recede to a more moderate scale, though a fall may be
already quoted, say of fully 2d. to 3d. on the few opening
sales. Increased business has taken place in old teas
during the past few days ; in good common congou and
broken-leaf kinds a fair amount of activity has prevailed at
about previous rates; common red-leafed sorts are more
inquired after; the better grades also have been saleable
from Is. 3d. to Is. 7d. per lb. A large parcel of black-leaf,
ex Damio, has changed hands ; prices, however, do not
transpire. Common Tayshans are as last advised ; there is
but little doing in fine Kaishows, the rates demanded not
being as yet sufficiently tempting for dealers ; souchongs with
quality sell readily at quotations ; flowery p&ioe continues
dull of sale, and can only be quitted at low prices ; new
scented orange pekoe and caper have sold as high as 3s. and
2s. 4d. respectively ; oolongs have sold from Is. 10d. to
28. 4d. per lb. Large sales have taken place in greens, and
quotations are again lower; young hysons show the largest
decline, and are difficult to move at the reduction. The
bulk of the cargo, ex Damio, has been sold, and consider-
able sales are making ex Bacchante. Japan qualities of
green are also cheaper, while uncoloured are as last advised,
qualities below ls. 7d. are now scarce, having been taken
principally for export to Canada and the States. The esti-
mated stock in the 'United Kingdom is 61,832,0001b5.
against 62,575,0001 b. last year ; and the quantity afloat
29,957,0001 b. and 22,953,0001 b. respectively.

At Paris this morning the Three per Cent. Rentes
opened at 71f. 87c., showing no movement of im-
portance.

No further alteration has occurred in the market
for English Securities to-day, the few transactions
recorded having taken place at previous rates.
Consols are 931 a for money, and 93194 for the 6th
proximo. The New Threes and the Reduced are
fiat at 92} ; Bank Stock remains at 2361; India
ditto, 228 and 229 ; and the 5 per Cent. Loan, 109 i.
Foreign Securities have been rather actively
dealt in ; the only movement of importance, how-
ever, has been a rise of 1 per cent. in Turkish Con-
solides, viz., to 381 t, owing to several purchases ;
the 6 per Cents., 1854, are steady at 82 83, ex div. ;
ditto 1858, at 681 ; and the Scrip is heavy at /
dis. ; Mexican Stock at 331 ; Peruvian "Scrip, 11-,
dis. ; Portuguese ditto, 21 prem. ; Russian ditto,
1: prem. ; Spanish Passive are 221 ; and the Cer-
tificates, 10/ ; Italian 5 per Cents., are 7311.
In the Railway Share Market the dealings have
been moderately active, and prices have, in some
instances, slightly improved. Caledinians, Great
Easterns, Great Northerns, and North Westerns
advanced 55., and Bristol and Exeter, and North
Eastern (York), 10s. Brightons, however, have de-
clined 15s.

The Foreign and Colonial lines continued with-
out any material variation.

Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
are dull, but fully support previous quotations.
