310NEY MARKET AND CIT.

IF NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocu.
During the last few days there has been rather
Less animation in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
Markets, although previous prices have, in most
instances, been fully maintained. At the public
sales of tea the biddings were active and previous
roes were obtained for the better descriptions:
agars were dull, particularly British West India ;
holders, however, were • firm in their demands
r previous rates. In the better descriptions of
coffee the dealings have been numerous, and full
values have been obtained. Rice continued in
active request at an advance of 3d. to 6d. per cwt.,
and for cocoa extreme prices were realised. Fruit
and spices were in fair request, and a steady busi-
ness has been done in saltpetre. The Tallow
karket has shown symptoms of inactivity, but few
sPeeolative dealings have been entered into, and
the demand for immediate consumption has slightly
fallen off. P.Y.C. on the spot has declined to 578.
9d. per- cwt.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday busi-
ness continued rather active, and prices exhibited
no change of importance. The sales were estimated
at 10,000 bales. The Railway Share Market
Closed with some animation, and quotations further
improved.

Notice has been given that tenders will be re-
ebived for debentures, bearing 6 per cent. interest,
and having five years to run, secured on the ample
revenues of British Guiana. The debentures are in
souls of £5OO and £l,OOO each.

Continued activity and firmness are the most
Prominent features- of the Money Market at the
present moment, and very little improvement is
expected until the dividends are paid at the Bank
of England'.

At the extraordinary meeting of the Commercial
Dock Company to-day, Mr. D. T. Morgan pre-
l'ided, when the report, of which 'the following are
exttuts,
was adopted :—" The accounts for the
yam' ending 31st December, 1859, have been pre-
pared by Messrs. Quilter, Ball, Jay, and Co., and
show a balance to -credit of the ' rest' or reserve
Ipflt and loss account, of L 59,395 6s. 11d. The
hirectors are ' of opinion that the period
4443 now • arrived when the reserve fund
t °tad be appropriated among the proprie-
:4 ; as from the different mode in, which the
Htshiess of the company is now conducted, the
°ltting capital represented by ' debts due to the '
111Pany' is materially diminished; and also, hav-
es two entrances from the river for ships, there
' nu longer the necessity to provide against the risk
.4d expense to which the company might have been
eAble when the entire business was dependent on one
rance. The directors, therefore, immediately on
teeeiving
ti the balance-sheet from the accountants,
eterWned on calling an extraordinary meeting of
the Proprietors for this purpose ; and they now re-
nlkend that they be empowered to deal with the
,rest' or reserved fund by transferring.the sum of
61,441 from that fund to the present capital ac-
e:l44 of £514,410, by a bonus of 10 per cent. in
hc! Stook, in' respect of each proprietor's present
°4ling, in both old and new stock, which will then
use the total amount of capital £565,851. This
,
will still leave the sum of £7,954 6s. 11d. to the
'tedit of the' rest' account."
