MONEY MARKET

A 2, D

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocx.

During the last few days the Foreign and
Colonial Produce Markets have been moderately
active. Tea at public sale has realised an advance
of id to id per lb. on the better qualities of Con-
gous, but green has been of lower value. Sugar
has continued at steady quotations, and coffee and
cocoa met a moderate demand at former quota-
tions. Saltpetre has been in fair request, and the
finer descriptions obtained fully late quotations,
but inferior qualities were at a decline of about ls.
Per cwt. on late rates. The transactions in tallow
have been of a limited character. P. Y.C. on the
spot has declined to 22s 9d ; July to September,
513 3d ; and last three months, 50s 9d per cwt.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
Steadily, but prices slightly declined. The sales
Were estimated at 10,000 bales, 2,500 of which were
taken by the speculators, and 1,000 by the ex-
porters. In Railway Shares there was no altera-
tion either in values or demand.
During the last few days nearly 400,0001. has
been received from Australia and America. This
large influx is likely to be followed by further ra-
.
in ittances in the course of the next fortnight, which
it is thought will more than suffice to meet the
foreign demand. The Indemnity, with 44,5001.,
W&& announced yesterday afternoon from Mel-
bourne, but it is considered probable that this sup-
ply will be at once bought for transmission to
Paris.

The demand for money continues active, but no
further alteration in rates can be reported. The
active revenue collections and the preparations for
loan and commercial payments have produced in-
creased animation in the discount market, but the
Movement is considered merely temporary in its
character.

The Baron Osy from Antwerp has brought silver
to the value of about 40,000/., showing that in-
creased purchases of that metal are being made on
Eastern account.

The Council of State in France are stated to have
adopted the treaty concluded between the Midi
Railway Company and the Languedoc Canal
C°133111113%

The English Stock Market is rather heavy,
transactions having been recorded at a slight de
cline. This unfavourable movement is attributed
to the approach of the settlement, and the disin-
clination to effect speculative purchases. Consols
have been 95i I, and they are now about 95g. A
few sales have been made by parties who consider
4 decline more probable than an advance, despite
the rise on the Paris Bourse, and the favourable
course of political affairs. The New Threes are
95/ 96 ; the Reduced 95/ 96 ; Exchequer Bills,
June 21s. pm. ; Bank Stock is 2191 221 ; Indian
Loan Debentures 991 ; and ditto Scrip 991.

In the Railway Share Market this morning the
transactions have been rather numerous, but most
of the leading lines show a further depreciation of
fully ito per cent. Caledonians have declined
2/. ; Eastern Counties, 1/. ss. ; Great Northern,
Cheat Western, Midland, North-Eastern (York),
and South Eastern, 1/. ; and Lancashire and York-
shire, North-Eastern (Berwick), and North British,
