DIONP:11 .MARKET AND CITY NE WS.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

Business in the foreign and colonial produce
markets during the last few days has been rather
less active. Tea, however, supported previous prices;
coffee and cocoa are also at full rates, but sugars
show a slight decline, particularly for low and in-
ferior descriptions. Rice, fruit, and spices have
remained without any material alteration in prices.
For saltpetre there has been a better demand, and
enhanced rates have been realised. Tallow has been
dull, at steady quotations for both present and for-
ward delivery.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday busi-
ness was moderately active, and prices underwent
no material change. The sales were about 5,000
bales.

Continued easiness and abundance are still the
principal features of the general Discount Market,
and no immediate alteration is expected, because
the trade of the country remains in a very quiescent
state, and large supplies of gold are received from
Australia and other sources.

About £77,000 in gold was taken into the Bank
of England yesterday.
The steamer which leaves to-morrow with the
Bombay mails will take out £342,580, of which
£308,430 is in silver.

The bar silver by the Shannon, from the West
Indies, has been sold at ss. ltd. per oz., and the
Mexican dollars at ss. Old. per oz.
The prospectus of a new Joint-Stock Bank for
London and Liverpool has been issued. The
nominal capital is to be £2,000,000, in 20,000 shares
of £lOO each ; but the first issue will only consist
of 10,000 shares, upon which not more than £25 is
to be paid. The title of the undertaking is, the
"Alliance Bank of London and Liverpool," and the
directors, in urging their project upon the attention
of the public, state that besides there being ample
room for further banking accommodation in Lon-
don, the inoreasing trade of Liverpool and its
neighbouring towns gives to such an establishment
every prospect of success. It is also stated that,
although Liverpool during the past 25 years has
more than doubled in population and wealth, no
new bank has been established there in that period.
There is a decrease of £1,378 in the traffic re-
ceipts of the South-Eastern Railway for the past
Week.

The traffic returns of the Great Western Rail-
-way of Canada for the week ending the 21st ult.,
amounted to £10,474 against £8,226 last year.
The Spanish Financial Commission have given
notice that the auction of the Foreign Redeemable
Debt will take place at 'Madrid on the 29th inst.,
and the Government have assigned £5,546,072
reals for that purpose.
A further slight improvement took place in the
English Market yesterday afternoon, and continued
firmness was apparent on the commencement of
business this morning, Consols being 931 for
transfer, and 931 f, for the account. A reaction,
however, has occurred, owing to sales in realisa-
tion of profits, the latest quotations being 937, for
transfer, and 931 / for the account. The New
Threes are firm at 929 7, ; the Reduced at 93k s ;
zchequer Bills remain at 19s. to 225. pram. ; Bank
Stock at 238; and India 5 per Cent.lo7 /.
The dealings in the Foreign Market have been
a moderate character, and prices show a down
Ward tendency, Turkish 6 per Cents. are 841 85;
ditto, 1858, 70L, ; Mexican remain at 341- ; Chilian
41 per Cents, at 86, and Spanish Certificates at 617.
Italian have receded to 67/ r ; Portuguese to 46k 1,
'been
Venezuelan, to 24/. The Moorish Scrip has
'"een dealt in at 11 Y dis.
Business in the Railway Share Market to-day
has been rather less animated, although in Tome
Instances prices show a slight advance. London,
Chatham, and Dover, Lancashire and Yorkshire,
and South Eastern have improved ss. ; North
Western, los.; and Caledonian, 15s. ; North Eastern
(Berwick), however, have declined ss.
The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have
remained :dull at about previous prices. Dutch-
Rhenish realise 161 ; Bahia and San Francisco
171 171 ; and Great Western of Canada have de-
clined to 131 134, East Indian are firm at 102 i
1021 ; and Great Indian Peninsula at 101/ 1014.
Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
exhibit little variation in values. London and
Westminster, London Chartered of Australia, and
Ottoman Bank, however, have declined about ss.
The Don Pedro North Del Rey Gold Mining Com-
pany are firm at to tl prem.
