CITY NEWS---THIS DAY.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

During the last few days there has not been
much activity in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
Markets, most of the principal staples having re-
mained at about previous values. Sugars sold
slowly, while full rates were demanded for coffee.
Tea, rice, and fruit have been in very limited re-
quest ; public sales of the former being announced
for the 9th inst. The tallow market has continued
dull, P.Y.C., on the spot, being quoted 475. 6d.;
last three months', 478. 6d. to 475. 9d.; and spring
delivery, 48s. to 48s. 9d. per cwt.
The monthly liquidation of commercial accounts
having now been completed, the demand for money
is quieter ; and, as bankers and others have large
available supplies at their command, competition
again enables the mercantile community to obtain
accommodation on somewhat easier terms. No
difficulty, for example, is now experienced in nego-
tiating first-class bills at 11: per cent., and the
result is that the principal portion of the current
business is transacted in the general market, the
applications at the Bank of England being NOW
comparatively limited.

Two O'CLOCK.

The half-yearly meeting of the Recife and San
Francisco Pernambuco Railway Company took
place to-day, Mr. Robert Benson in the chair.
The report, which was unanimously adopted, in-
timated that the statement of the committee
charged with the examination of the report of
the English and Brazilian commissioners had not
yet been received. The traffic receipts for the
half-year glowed an increase over the corres-
ponding period of 1861, which was regarded as
satisfactory.
The market for the English Funds is exceedingly
quiet, and the few transactions have taken place
at the fractional decline reported yesterday after-
noon, Consols being 931 for transfer, and 93i 94
for the 6th proximo. The general condition of
business presents no feature requiting comment.

ceded to 921 ; Exchequer Bills, June, to 20s
prem.; India 5 per Cent. Loan remains at 1081
10911-; the 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper has been

Market to-day, and pricEs generally appear
rather depressed. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1854, are
851 86*; ditto, 1858, 681 69 ; ditto New Scrip, 1-

73 t ; Egyptian at 90; Peruvian Scrip at 21 11,-
dis. ; Russian paid up ditto is 94i 95; Spanish

The operations in the Railway Share Market

has taken place in values. Great Easterns, Great
Northern A Sto2k, North Westerns, and North
Eastern (York) improved about 55,, while Great
Westerns and South Easterns declined 55.; Lan-
cashire and Yorkshire 10s.

THE FATAL ACCIDENT AT MONKWEARMOTJTII
COLLIERY.—On Saturday, Mr. Favell, coroner, _
inquest on the body of Robert 'D
opened an
Inn, Monkwearmouth. Mr. Dunn, ryden, at the Wheatsheaf
aswellathe Government in-
spector of mines, was present,
had
been sworn,
the colliery owners
and officials. When the jury
the coroner
remarked that thEre were five men killed, but n
up d
pto this
time only one body had been found.
He
had o
same
cause, Would be shown that all the men had been killed bythe
cause, and therefore one inquiry would answer for all.
Alter the jury had viewed the body, they proceeded to the
yard below the inn, to view the iron chains by which the
cradle was hung. It will be remembered that the cause of
the accident was the breaking of the chain to which the
Cradle for conveying the men up and down the pit was at-
tached, and the consequent precipitation of the cradle and
all in it down the shaft. One chain was pointed out which,
it was said, had stretched 14 inches. A juror remarked
that the chain might be good in quality and workmanship,
but it seemed too small. The master-smith remarked that
it had been made smaller by being stretched out, and said it
could not have stretched that way if the quality or work-
manship; had been inferior. After a lengthened inquiry the
Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death."
INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.—The number of
_
lB_i_t ors at the Exhibition yesterday was —by season tickets,
