-MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLooic.
The operations in the Foreign and Colonial
Produce Market during the last few days have
been rather restricted. Sugar, however, has
maintained its value, while good and finer descrip-
tions of coffee were a shade dearer. For tea
steady prices have been obtained, while fruit, rice,
and spices, have barely maintained former values.
Saltpetre and tallow have been dull, but the latter
article has slightly advanced owing to a speculative
demand for forward delivery. P.Y.C. on the spot
is quoted 475., and last three months delivery 48s.
to 48s. 6d. per cwt.
There was a fair amount of business transacted
in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and
prices were firm. The sales were 8,000 bales.
The Delta which leaves to-morrow with the Bom •
bay mails, will take out £289,535, principally in
silver.

It has been notified by the Spanish Financial
Commission that the auction of the Foreign Redeem-
able Debt will take place at Madrid on the 27th
inst., for which purpose the Government have
assigned 5,171 072 reals.

The inquiries for money continue moderate, and
the quotations are scarcely so firm as they were a few
days ago.

A further supply of gold, amounting to £35,000
was withdrawn from the Bank of England yesterday
for exportation.

Reports have been current this morning to the
effect that the contemplated advance of £2,000,000
to £4,000,000 to the French Government on the
deposit of Rentes will not be concluded. Various
reasons are assigned for the coarse adopted, but it
seems to be generally supposed that the principal
cause is the annoyance felt by the French flovern-
ment in consequence of the publicity given to the
operation by the English press, and the discussion
on the subject which took place on Saturday by
the Corps Lt,gislatif. In some quarters, however,
the repudiation is attributed to the fact that the
necessary deposit had not been secured. The whole
affair, however, is enveloped in mystery, and it is
quite probable that the public will never be made
acquainted with the full particulars.
In consequence of the statement that the arrange-
ments for the French loan will not be completed,
some speculative purchases have been effected in
the Market for Public Securities, which have exer-
cised a beneficial influence upon quotations, Con-
sols, which had been 92i 1 for money, and 92; 93
for the account, having risen to 921 93 and 93 -1
respectively. The New Threes are flat at 921 931;
the Reduced steady at 93 -1 ; Exchequer Bills,
March, have receded to Bs. and 12s. prem. ; ditto,
Jane, to 10s. and lls. prem. ; Bank Stock remains
at 240 and 242 ; but India 5 per Cent. has advanced
to 1064 1.

In the Foreign Market the transactions have not
been so active, and prices, in some instances, show
less firmness. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 841 85-1, ;
ditto, 1858, 751; Mexican have receded to Mk;
Russian 5 per Cents. are 98Z ; Spanish are 531 54t;
ditto Deferred, 431 ; ditto Passive, 19t ; ditto
Certificates, 71; Italian are flat, at 671, t; but
Equador have improved to 181 I. The Moorish
Loan is 5,1 prem.

The operations in the Railway Share Market
to-day have been of a rather restricted character.
Prices, howevcr, have shown a further slight
improvement. Midland, North Eastern (York),
and South Eastern have advanced 55., Great
IVestern 155., and Caledonian £1 ; Eastern Coun-
ties, Great Northern, Lancashire and Yorbshire,
and West Midland remained at about previous
prices.

In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there
has been little change of importance. South Aus-
trian and Lombardo-Venetian are a shade flatter,
Sambre and Meuse have declined 55., Bombay and
taroda 55., and Great Western of Canada and East
Indian realise previous rates,
Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
continue inactive. London and Westminster have,
however, improved 55., Union of London 55., and
London General Omnibus Co. ss.
