MONEY MARKET.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets

the dealings during the last few days have been
less animated. Tea has been neglected, owing to
the approach of the public sales. Sugars have re-
mained at about previous prices, while coffee and
rice have slightly declined. Saltpetre and tallow
have continued dull, the latter article being quoted
465. per cwt. for P.Y.C. on the spot, and 48s. 9d.
to 495. for last three mouths' delivery.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday there
was more activity, and prices exhibited greater
firmness. The sales were about 5,000 bales.
There is a decrease of £1,645 in the traffic re-
ceipts of the South-Eastern Railway for the past
week.

Monday next has been appointed for a special
settlement in the shares of the Indian Branch Rail-
ay, and of the East Clogan Gold Mining Company,
and dcalings in both are to be officially recorded.
The Ottoman Railway Debentures are also to be
marked in the official lists.

At the Bank of England yesterday the bullion
operations were of an unimportant character.

There is rather less demand for money, and the
rates appear a shade easier.

The majority of the railway traffic returns to be
published this week will probably show a consi-
derable falling off, as the comparison lies with
Whitsun week last year. The Brighton return
shows a decrease of £3,677, and the South-Eastern
a decrease of £1,645.

The report of the directors of the Eastern Bengal
Railway Company states that the chief works of
the line will be finished by the 20th of Juno next,
and that since the commencement of this year thoy
have received the sum of £340,800 from the issue of
debentures, making up with their previous receipts
on that account, the whole of the amount of
£400,000 authorised to be raised on debentures,
and completing the necessary capital required to
finish the construction of the line. The meeting
-will take place on Friday, 30th inst.

CITY NEWS---THIS DAY.

Two O'CLOCK.
A vary small amount of business has been nego-
tiated in the market for public securities to-day,
and the variation has been limited. Indications of
buoyancy are nevertheless exhibited, and the ten 12
-
dency of prices, notwithstanding the dullness of F
speculation, is decidedly favourable. Consols have
been 931 1 for transfer, and 92 921, ex dividend,
for the 18th proximo, but they are now rather
firmer, being 931 and 92-4-- respectively. The New

declined fully I per cent., viz., to 8Z ,in conse-
quence of the receipt of the following communica-
tion:—

The committee of Spanish certificate holders have
receved a letter from the chairman, in which he
informs them that in consequence of the advanced
state of the session, and the engagements of the
Finance Minister, he is aware that justice cannot
be done to the question during the remainder of
the session, and that it is therefore his intention
not to ask the Minister of finance to bring it for-
ward until the Cortes meet again in October next,
when he expects the Minister will be prepared
-with a measure to submit to the Chamber for bring-
ing the matter to a close.
A further slight decline took place to-day in the
Railway Share Market ; only a limited amount of
