MONEY MARKET

AN,

-:OMPifERCTAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocx.
The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets,
during the last few days, have been very inactive,
particularly for two of the principal articles, viz.,
sugar and coffee. The near approach of the Dutch
Company's sale, in Holland, has tended to depress
prices. Considerable quanti, ies of both these articles
are also announced for public sale here during the
week, and prices are generally rather lower. Tea
has been ♦ery quiet, as both dealers and speculators
have been waiting the delivecy of the letters from
China by the overland mail. Cocoa and rum have
been in moderate demand and at steady rates, and
rice has been extremely dull. Saltpetre has been
inquired for to a moderate extent, but no improve-
ment can be noticed in values. For tallow there
has been a steady inquiry, and prices have been well
supported. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted 54r. 6d. ;
May and June, 535. ; July and August, 525. 3d. ;
and latst three months,. 525. 6d. per cwt.
Letters from Liverpool mention that the Cotton
Market yesterday manifested a dull appearance,
and quotations were unaltered. The sales amounted
to 7,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken by the
speculators, and 500 by the exporters.

The advance in the American exchange will
prevent any important efflux of gold from this aide,
and con"equently all apprehension on that head is
removed. Other demands will only absorb a small
amount in the aggregate; the requirements for the
East are limited, and few remittances are, there-
fore, made to the Continent. This will ensure
a further accumulation of specie in the Bank vaul' s,
for large supplies are en route for Australia.

The revolution in Venezuela is likely to result
in the return of General Paez. if so—and very
little doubt can be felt on the subject—the English
creditors may expect immediate reparation for the
neglect of their claims. Prior to the accession of the
Monagas' family, the dividends were paid with due
Punctuality, but of late the revenues of the country
which are amply sufficient to discharge all the
State engagements, have been misappropriated.
♦nticipating his fall the President has sent
away large sums of money which ought to have
been devoted to other purposes. We hear, however,
that even the pensions have not been E: aid, and
*o surprise need be felt at the dishonourable
conduct towards the foreign creditors. The
people are at length tired of such a regime, and dis-
gusted at the wholesale plunder that has been
going on. They have risen against Monegas, and
by this time he is no doubt defeated, and Paez re-
instated. Of course, a great deal of anxiety is felt
to learn further particulars—to trace the cause of
the revolution ; but, without knowing the issue, it
may be safely affirmed that the news received yes-
terday is satisfactory alike to the English Bond-
holders and the best interests of the Republic.
A meeting of the Tincroft Mining Company eas
held to-day, when the accounts for the year were
laid before the meeting. The value of the tin and
copper raised and sold in the period of 8 months
wail 15,265/. 155., and the expenditure 12,727!.,
leaving a profit of 2,5381. The actual surplus of
assets over liabilities was 4,4061. ss. ad. There
was no dividend proposed on this occasion, and the
accounts were agreed to.
There is a quiet but firm market for Public Se-
curities. The quotations have undergone scarcely
any variation, but there is still an upward tendency,
and a few purchases would no doubt have a marked
effect. Temporarily, however, the arrangement of
the foreign stock and railway share accounts con-
stitute the chief business of the brokers and dealers.
Consols are about 96t j for money, and 96i for
the account. The New 3 per Cents. and the
the Reduced, are 951 I. The Indian Loan Deben-
tures are 99k, and the Scrip is 99i Exchequer
Bills are 355. to 40s. premium, and India Bonds
185. to 20s. premium.

The transactions recorded in the Foreign Stock
Market are not very numerous, but prices gem-rally
ext.ibit a downward tendency. Turkish 6 per
Cents. are 97i ex-dividend, and the 4 per Cents.
1041 ; Spanish 3 per Cents, are 43i ; do. Certifi-
cates, 4 ; do. Passive, 6A '7 ; Mexican 3 per Cents.,
191 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 451 ; Russian 411
per Cents., 100 f ; Sardinian 5 per Cents., 901;
and Belgian 4i per Cents., 101.
The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stocks:—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 5i 6 ; Mexi-
lan, 19f 20} ; Peruvian 4i per Cents., 81 83 ;
ditto 3 per Cents., 55 57 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents.;

per Cents., 99 101; Spanish 3 per amts., 44 44i;
ditto New Deferred, 264.
In the Railway Share Market only a moderate
businem has been reported, and the transactions
bare been chiefly in connection with the arrange-
talents now in progress for the settlement of the
half-monthly accounts. An advance of about to
Per cent. may be reported in most of the leading
lines, and the general tone of the market exhibits
lore firmness. Caledonians, Eastern Counties,
14-nctohire and Yorkshire, Great Western, North
Western, North Eastern (Berwick), and Scot-
tis)l orth Eastern, have each improved
about ss. ;
Great Northern and Midland, 10s. ;
Brighton and South Westerns declined 10s. The
Foreign and Colonial lines have been rather quiet,
but there was a slight improvement in one or two
of the Principal undertakings. Eastern of France
bvanced ss. ; Dutch Rhenish, ss. ; Great Luxem-
e rts declined ss. ; East Indian improved 5s ;
Great Western of Canadi, ss. ; and Great Indian
?aainsula, ss. Mines, banks, and miscellaneous
shares were steady at previous rates.
