11:101VEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS,

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The Foreig❑ and Colonial Produce Markets
during the last few days, have been less active. The
dealings in tea have been restricted to immediate
requirements, and prices have shown no material
alteration. Sugars have been in moderate request,
although in some instances holders have accepted
rather lower prices. Business in the refined market
has continued dull, without change to notice in the
value of dried goods. For coffee there has
been a steady, although not very active, inquiry
for plantation Ceylon, and fine qualities have
realised full rates. Rice has been dealt in to a fair
extent, but the dealings in fruit have not been so
large as usual at this period of the season ;
prices, however, are steadily maintained. At the
public sales of indigo no change of importance can
be noticed, but a large quantity of the inferior
qualities has been withdrawn by the holders. At
the public sales of drugs prices were rather flatter,
but an increased demand has been experienced for
oils and tallow; the latter article has advanced 6d.
to ls. per cwt. P.Y.C. on the spot is now quoted
585., and for delivery up to March, 58s. 6d. per cwt.
A fair amount of business was transacted in the
Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices
were fully supported. The sales were estimated
at about 12,000 bales.
The Bremen has been anuounced from New York
with £31,600.

The Bank of France return for the month end-

ing yesterday shows a decrease in the bullion of

4840,000, in the currency accounts of £1,140,000,
and in the Treasury balances of £632,000. The
bills discounted exhibit an increase of £1,150,000,
and the advances on securities of £93,300.
The committee of Spanish American bondholders
have convened a meeting of the holders of the New
Granada Bonds, for the purpose of receiving a
proposition from the Government of New Granada
for the adjustment of the foreign debt.
A call of £2 per share has been made by the
directors of the San Paulo Brazilian Railway
Company, payable on or before the 15th proximo.

A further withdrawal of £400,000 from the Bank
of England yesterday has imparted increased firm-
ness to the rates of discount, and produced an
adverse effect upon the Stock Exchange markets.
Rather more than £600,000 has now been sent from
that establishment in the space of a few days, and
as that was the sum which it was stated in the early
part of the week would be required, the efflux will
probably cease or continue on a very reduc©d scale.
Considering the large quantities of grain coming
forward, it is not improbable that specie will flow
to the continent in payment, and many parties are
consequently inclined to the opinion that money
will speadily get dearer. An advance has already
occurred, since 4 per cent. is now the current rate
in the general market for first-class securities,
which until lately have been negotiable on lower
terms than at the Bank of England.
Very little business has been reported in the
market for Public Securities to-day, speculation
being exceedingly dull, and the settlement has con•
tinued to engage attention. Consols for money
are 92/ I-, and for account 93 to 93k, being k per
cent. lower than they were early in the day. An
unfavourable effect is still produced by the adverse
specie movement. The New 3 per Cents. remain
at 911 ; the Reduced at 911 t. India Stock is
heavy at 2191 ; ditto New Loan is steady at
103/ ; and Exchequer Bills are at 3s. prem.
Foreign Securities have been dealt in to a limited
extent, at rather higher prices. Turkish 6 per
Cents. are 704 to 70/ ; ditto New, 551 to 56;
and the 4 per Cents. have improved to 101/ 102 ;
Mexican to 22/ ; Sardinian to 851 86; Spanish
49/ ; and ditto Passive remain at 23.

The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 11 2
prem. ; the Thames and Mersey, 1 I prem. ; and
the Universal, prem.

The dealings in the Railway Share Market have
been rather numerous, an 3. prices generally showed
a marked improvement. Caledonians and Great
Northerns have advanced ss. ; Eastern Counties,
Great Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire, Brigh-
ton, North Western, 10s. ; South Western, 15s. ;
North Eastern (Berwick), North Eastern (York),
and South Eastern, ; and Midland, £2.
The Foreign lines were dealt in to a fair extent,
and at slightly enhanced prices. South Austrian
and Lombardo-Venetian have improved to 111,- llf.
Dutch-Rhenish realise 13 ; and Antwerp and Rot-
terdam, 51.

In the Colonial Market an advance has also
taken place. Grand Trunk of Canada brought
274 28 ; Great Western of Canada, 13Z 4 ; East
Indian, 991, 100; and Great Indian Peninsula,
969.
Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares con-
tinue dull; London and Westminster, however,
have improved 10s. ; Australian Agricultural, 10s.;
and Peninsular and Oriental Steam have receded
55.
