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-

way, and of the East Clogan Gold Mining Company,
and dealings 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 30th of June next,
and that since the commencement of this year they
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.
