MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS•

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
during the last few days have been moderately
active. Tea, however, has continued inactive.
Sugars have been dealt in to a fair extent, chiefly
for refining purposes ; and in the Refined Market
previous rates have been fully maintained.
There has been a good demand for the
better descriptions of coffee, full rates hav-
ing been readily obtained. Rice has been
actively dealt in, and in some instances at advanced
prices. Fruit and specie have been in steady re-
quest, at former quotations. For saltpetre there has
been a moderate inquiry, the finer descriptions
realising fully late values. Tallow has been dull,
there having been a very limited demand for con-
sumption, while the speculative transactions have
also been restricted.

In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday a
moderate amount of business was transacted at pre-
vious values. The sales were estimated at 7,000
bales. The Railway Share Market continued
active, and prices further improved.
_

There is no diminution in the demand for money,
and the rates still exhibit an upward tendency, but
it is scarcely imagined that the Bank of England
authorities will have occasion to modify their re-
gulations with the view of resisting the pressure.

At the meeting of the Canada Company, to-day,
Mr. C. Franks in the chair, the retiring directors
and auditor were elected, and the report, of which
the following are extracts, was unanimously
adopted: —"S atis factory as have been the operations
of the company during the past year, the re-
turns since January 1 are still more encouraging;
up to February 24, the date of the latest advices,
3,117 acres had been sold and leased at 50s. 4d. on
average ; 36,746 acres converted to freeholds; whilst
the collections of money amounted to £43,443 cur-
rency, being an increase, as compared with 1859 :
—ln land sold and leased of 637 acres, and ss. 4d.
per acre ; in leases converted to freeholds of 13,959
acres; and in receipts of £17,014 currency. The
directors have to report the receipt from the Buf-
falo and Lake Huron Railway Company of the
second instalment of £1,950 sterling, due
31st October last, on account of the pur-
chase money of the Harbour and Lands
at Goderich, together with £663 interest.
The line now extends into the town, and a passen-
ger station is in course of erection in East-street.
The junction with the harbour will probably be
carried out in the course of the present year ;
meanwhile the works for the improvement of the
latter are being proceeded with. The accompany-
ing plan shows the proposed route to the harbour,
and the lots in the town still possessed by this
company. The facilities that will be afforded on
the completion of these works for the transport of
produce, will, it is hoped, give an impetus to the
trade of the town, and add to its population, and
the value of property therein."
An unfavourable effect has been produced in the
English Stock Market to-day by the speech made
last evening by Lord John Russell with regard to
the annexation of Savoy. At one time a decline of
per cent. took place, but the tendency of prices
has since become rather better. Consols are 941 I
for money, and 941 1 for account. The New
Threes have been dealt in, by special transfer, at
94k. India Stock is flat at 218 ; ditto New Loan
is 1041; ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper has re-
ceded to 98 I ; and ditto Debentures (1858) to 97.
The dealings in the Foreign Stock Market have
been limited, and prices are very depressed.
Turkish 6 per Cents. are 79 to 791 ; ditto New, 614
to 62 ; and the 4 per Cents. have receded to 101
.71- ;
Mexican to 211-, Russian 41 per Cents. to 961, and
Brazilian 41 per Cents. (1852) to 901 ; Sardinian
remain at 831. The New Brazilian Loan is a dis.
to par.

The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 3 to
31 prem. ; the Universal ditto, 4 prem. ; and the
Buenos Ayres Railway, 11 I prem.
The traffic receipts on the Great Western Rail-
'Way of Canada, for the week ending 9th instant,
were £8,732, being an increase, compared with
last year, of £275.
The amount to be paid in the shape of railway
calls during the month of April, so far as can be
118Certailled at pLebeut,, la .007 T,OOO.
Less
firmness was apparent to-day in the Railway
Share Share
"Itket, prices having sympathised with the
receive
ded ss. in the English Funds. Great Western have
; Lancashire and Yorkshire, North-
Western, and South-Eastern 10s. ; Great Northern,
A Stock, and North-Eastern (Berwick) 15s. ; and
Brighton, Midland, and South Wales £1 ; Eastern
Counties have improved 10s.

The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have
also shown a downward tendency. Lombardo-
Venetian are 11k, 11! ; Paris and Lyons, 351$ 351 ;
East Indian, 1022 ; Grand Trunk of Canada, 341;
Great Western of Canada, at 12-4, 13.
Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have
shown no material variation from previous rates.
