IVIONEY MARKET

eoivrmv-PMAT, INTELT,IGENCz7.

CITY, Two o'CLou:

Business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
Markets has in a great measure been suspended,
owing to the intervention of the Easter holidays.
A few private transactions, however, have taken
place in several of the principal staples, and in
most instances steady rates were realised. Tea has
been dull, but common congou is still quoted 13d.
per lb. For sugar there were a few inquiries for borne
consumption, but the transactions were unimpor-
tant, and at about previous rates. In the Refined
Market scarcely any business has been done. Coffee
remained at steady rates ; the deliveries still con-
tinue to exceed those of the same period last year.
Rice, rum, and spices continue very inactive, and
have exhibited little change in value. For indigo
and cochineal there is scarcely any demand ; and
saltpetre has been neglected. Tallow continues
dull ; P.Y.C. on the spot is 545. 6d. ; April to
June 545. 3d. ; June 535. 9d. ; and last three
months, 525. 6d. per cwt. Town tallow is at
535. 3d. per cwt., nett cash.
Letters from Liverpool mention that the Cotton
Market yesterday manifested a very animated
appearance, and prices of most descriptions slightly
mproved. The sales amounted to 12,000 bales,
3,000 of which were taken by the speculators, and
1,000 by the exporters. The Railway Share
Market closed quietly, and quotations were with-
out any material alteration.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's vessel
Benares, which sails to-day for Alexandria, will
take out 10,9001. in silver for Bombay.
The Silver Market still continues in a very quiet
state, and bars are nominally ss. lid. per oz.
standard.

The annual meeting of the Unity Fire Insurance
Company took place to-day, when a report, on the
whole favourable as to the gradual progress of the
society, was read to the shareholders. The surplus
profit of the year's transactions was 3,7001., which,
however, the directors recommended to be carried
to the Insurance Fund, or Reserve. The report
Was adopted.

The total amount of specie brought by the
Vinsiera and the Morning Light is 89,316/. Not-
withstanding that a small amount of this may be
shipped to America, it is expected that the greater
portion will be sent into the Bank. The Lady
Ann has arrived from South Australia. She sailed
from Adelaide on the 31st December last.

There is very little inquiry for money, and the
best bills are negotiated at 2i per cent.
The Funds opened rather flatly, but they are
now rather firmer, although business still continues
very dull. Attention is principally directed to the
settlement of the account which will take place to-
morrow. One or two large " Bull" accounts have
been closed whichhave assiste,d in weakening the mar-
ket, but as soon as the liquidition is over the
tendency of the market will be more accurately
defined. Consols have been 96i for money and
to-morrow, but they are now 961 and 962 for
the May account. Exchequer Bills are 355. to 38s.
