The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets, dur-
ing the last few days, have not shown much anima-
tion, and in some instances less firmness has been
apparent in values. Tea, however, has been
largely dealt in, and at fully late quotations.
The better descriptions of sugars suitable for
110nle consumption have been in moderate
request at former prices, but inferior qualities have
declined about 6d. per cwt. A limited amount of
business has been transacted in coffee, only the
better qualities realising former quotations. Rice
continued inactive, but spices have been in fair
demand at a slight advance. In fruit the deal-
ing's have been unimportant. Saltpetre has been
dealt in to a moderate extent, and for tallow there
Was a better inquiry, prices having shown an im-
proving tendency.
Letters from Liverpool report that in the Cotton
Itarket yesterday business continued rather active,
and prices tended upwards. The sales were esti-
alafed at 12,000 bales.
A rather large amount of gold, viz., £150,000,
Was withdrawn from the Bank of England yester•
day for exportation.
The half-yearly dividend on the Louisiana State
llonds have been advertised for payment.
At the half-yearly meeting of the Unity Joint-
,,stack Mutual Banking Association, held to-day,
'lr. Alderman Mechi presided, when the report,
the following of which is an abstract, was adopted :
The balance of profit and loss account for the half-
!ear, after making ample provision for bad and
ueubtful debts, amounts to £2,421 55., which with
4:986 19s. 4d., the balance carried over on the 30th
°f hne last, leaves an available surplus of £3,408
48. 4d. This amount the directors propose to
dispose of as follows :—£1,500 in liquidation
°f preliminary expenses; £1,500 to the
Alredit of the old losses ; and £4OB 4s.
',id. to be carried over for the current half-year.
he chairman stated that the affairs of the bank
Were in a satisfactory position, and he hoped at the
aext meeting to be able to declare a small dividend.
The half-yearly meeting has also been held of
„ •
Scottish Australian Investment Company, when
,4,teport was presented recommending a dividend at
t4ie rate of 10 per cent. per annum, which was agreed
° unanimously.
The market for Public Securities to-day has been
very quiet, the few transactions on speculative
acee„
at and for investment having failed to create
9,6Aightest activity. Consols opened steady at
