MARTCBT A A'D CITY NBT

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
During the last few days there has been a mo-
derate business in the private market for Foreign
and Colonial Produce, and most of the principal
staples have fnlly maintained the rates current
previously to the elose of the market for the
Christmas holidays. Sugars have been dealt in
at full prices, and tea continues at previous rates,
but coffee has not been in very active request.
Rice, fruits, spices, and saltpetre have each been
dealt in to a moderate extent, and there has been
rather more activity exhibited in the tallow
.mar-
ket. The publics markets re-open to-day,! having
been closed since Friday, the 23d ult., for the
Christmas holidays.
The following particulars of the number and
tonnage of vessels now on the berth in the port of
London, and loading for the Australian colonies,
are taken from the usual monthly statement com-
piled by Mr. Mellor, the manager at the Jerusalem
Coffee-house :
For Launceston 2 vessels 746 tons.
„ Hobart Town 1 /t 291 „
Sydney end Moreton Bay 11 „ 9,579 „

Total
Notice has been given that debentures to the
amount of £50,000, on account of the Government
of the Cape of Good Hope, are to be issued. The
debentures will be for sums of £lOO each, bearing
interest at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, pay-
able in London half yearly. The capital and in-
terest, together with the capital and interest upon
£BO,OOO already raised, constitute a first charge
upon the general revenue of the colony. The de-
bentures will be redeemable by the Government,
and the capital repaid in. London on the 31st of
January, 1870.

A sum of £5,000 has been employed for the ex.
tinction of Buenos Ayres ,Bonds, amounting in al'
to £24,000.

The half-year interest on Buenos Ayres 6 per
cents. has been advertised for payment.
The Mariquita Mining Company have announced
that the question in dispute with the Government
of New Grenada has been arranged. The company
NW pay 5 per cent. on the net profits of the mines,
and all law proceedings are stopped.
Full rates are still demanded for discount accom-
modation, and the inquiry continues active owing
to the usual arrangements connected with the 4th
of the month. The supplies, however, are abun-
dant, and the mercantile classes experience no diffi-
culty in providing for their requirements.
An average amount of business has been trans-
acted to-day in the Market for Public Securities,
while speculation is extremely dull, and the deal-
ings of investors are also very much curtailed ; quo-
tations, however, are firmly maintained, Consols
having been 95a s for the 4th inst., 951 I for Feb.
A favourable tone has been created by an advance of
nearly / per cent. in the Rentes, but the market
Previously exhibited symptoms of buoyancy, the
general tendency of affairs at home being encourag-
ing. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are
firmer, at 952 96 ; India Loan Debentures (1858)
are steady, at 981 ; ditto (1859), at 98;1 ; ditto
Enfaced Paper is marked 961 ; ditto 5,-1 per Cent.,
1034; ditto New Stock is 104: ; and Exchequer
Bills are 28s. to 31s. prem.
A fair amount of business is recorded in Foreign
Securities, and prices in most instances show an
improvement. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 78 to 79 ;
ditto New, 65 to 66 ; and the 4 per Cents., 1041.
Brazilian 5 per Cents. have advanced to 1031;
Buenos Ayres 6 per Cents., to 83 ; and Dutch 4 per
Cents. to 1011. Mexican is steady, at 25,1- 4 ; Por-
tuguese 3 per Cents., at 441 ex. div.; and Spanish
Deferred, at 321 6 ex div.

The Ocean Marine Insurance Company's shares
are quoted 11 ; Universal ditto, s dis. to fr prem. ;
the Paulo Railway, par to prem. ; and the shares
of the Bank of Turkey are to 1 prem.
The New Canadian Loan has been dealt in at 97-1
to 95i.
The Committee of Mexican Bondholders have re-
ceived advices from Mr. G. S. Whitehead, dated
Mexico, the Ist ult., confirming the rece of
40,512 dols. sc. in bills on Mexico from
Veraipt Cruz,
making the total amount in the agent's hand in
Mexico 467,016 dole. Of this the packet brings
4,284 dols. 80c. from Tampico, which is exclusive
of 8,572 dols. 59c. in bills received by the agents
there since their last. The agents in Vera Cruz
write under date of the 4th ult., that it was posi-
tively stated that the treaty touching the Tehaun-
tepee, route, &c., spoken of in the committee's notice
in the papers of the 3d ult. was about to be signed.
(The American papers received to-day report that
it was in fact signed on the 4th ult., and that the
amount to be paid by the United States would be
4,000,000 dols., one-half of which was to be kept
back to meet American claims.) The President of
the Government of the capital, General Miramon,
hid in Guadalajara ordered the money remaining
intact of the conducta seized by General Marquez
to be immediately returned, and that 50 per cent.
of the dutses in San Bias should be set aside to re-
Pay the amount that had been spent. His troops
had obtained possession of Tepic, which would open
the road of San Bias to them. For the moment
they were masters of all the interior towns from
Zacatecas in the north to Oaja in the south.
The dealings in. the Railway Share Market
have been limited, and, in some instances, prices
have given way. East Angl an, Manchester,
Sheffield, and Lincoln, Midland and North-Eastern
(Berwick) declined ss. ; and Eastern Counties, and
Lancashire and Yorkshire, 10s. ; Great Western,
North-Western, and Stockton and Darlington, im-
proved 55., and South-Eastern, 10s.
The Foreign and Colonial lines remain at about
previous rates. Lombardo-Venetian realised 121 ;
Great Indian Peninsula, 1011 ; Grand Trunk of
Canada, 43f ; and Great Western of Canada, 121.
Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are,
in some cases, a shade flatter. Bank of Eg
clined 55.; Ottoman Bank, 58 ypt de-
; Canada Land im-
proved to 121 i 122 ; and Royal Mail Steam, to 53.
