capital on offer, however, are ample, and the rates
demanded for the negotiation of first-class short- 6
dated paper range from 2 to 3 per cent.
At the Bullion Office of the Bank of England bBl,
there were no gold operations of importance.

the amount of £1,500 only, and the Deutchland
from New York has brought £39,20.
Business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
Markets, during the last few days, has continued
very quiet. Sugar, however, continues at full rates,
while superior qualities of coffee maintain former
values. Rice, owing to the small supplies on offer,
is a shade dearer, but tallow has been in limited re-
quest, at slightly reduced rates for present and for -
ward delivery.

son's Bay United Railway for the week ending 2Tth

SCULLERS' RACE FOR .£5O.
Yesterday afternoon Benjamin Edwards, of the Tower,
and Thomas Pocock, of Lambeth, met to contend, from
Putney to Mortlake, for a stake of £25 a-side, in old-
fashioned boats. Both are watermen, and have often been
before the public—Pocock being about 34 years of age,
while Edwards is much younger, and weighed lOst 121 b.
Pocock being a stone lighter. Tom White was referee,
Mr. Wilcox umpire for Edwards, and Richard Pocock for
his brother. Tom Wise showed Edwards up, and Henry
Kelly looked after his man. Betting was 6 to 4on Ed-
wards, who took the lead after six strokes, and, maintain-
ing it, won very easily, stopping very often on the journey
and waiting for his man. Time, 25 ruin. 40 seo.
