MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocs.

The Foreign and Colonial produce markets
during the past few days have not been very ac-
tive, and for most of the leading articles lower rates
have been current. -For tea there has been little
enquiry, and since the delivery of the letters by the
`Over laud Mail no business of importance has been
transacted. Sugar has been flat and prices may be
quoted about Gd. per cwt. lower. Coffee remains
dull but at steady quotations, and rice and rum
have been dealt in to a .very limited extent at
about previous values. Saltpette has fully main-
tained its value, but tallow is dull and at lower
quotations. P.Y.O on the spot is quoted 525. Gd.,
535. ; Juno delivery, 51s. ; July and August 50.3. ;
and about three months, 50s. to 50s. 3d. per cwt.
Large quantities of all descriptions of produce are
announced for public sale to-day.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
heavily, and compared with Friday, prices were
Without alteration. The sales were 5,000 bales,
500 of which were taken on speculation. There was
no alteration of importance in the Railway Share
Market.

Specie is arriving in moderate quantities from
Russia, and yesterday a small parcel, viz., 8,0001.
was taken into the Bank. Further supplies are
expected, which, together with the remittances
from Australia and America will no doubt lead to
a further large increase of bullion.
_ _

There is rather amore active demand for money,
owing to the preparations for Friday, the 4th of
the montb, when as uivalla large am ,unt of com-
mercial paper will arrive at maturity. The terms
of discount in the open market have slightly in-
creased, but a considerable degree of ease still
exists. Several loan and other instalments will
soon have to be paid, which are also likely to have
some influence upon the market, but no permanent
change is anticipated.
The market for Public Securities opened flatly,
but it has since been rather firmer, a few moderate
purchases having been effected. A large proportion
of the operations are connected with the settlement
of the monthly account. Consols for transfer have
been 97a /, but they afterwards improved to 971
and for July to 98 I. The New Three per Cents.
are 96i ; the Reduced, 96: A ; the New 21 per
Cents., 81 ; Long Annuities, 1a ; Exchequer
Bills, 355. prem. ; and ditto Advertised, 13s. prem.
Bank Stock is 220 221 ; India ditto, 221 223 ; ditto
Bonds, 17s. prem. ; and ditto Loan Debentures,
99k.

A fair amount of business has been transacted in
the Foreign Stock Market, but prices continue
ateady. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 96' ; Ditto 4
per Cents., 104 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 45 ; Rus-
sian 4i per Cents., 101 k 1021 ; Sardinian 5 per

The Committee of Mexican Bondholders have
received advices from Mr. Whitehead, dated
Mexico, the 3d ult. Two small amounts have been
collected in Colima, making the aggregate balance
ill the hands of the Mexican agen's of the bond-
holders, on the 30th April, 55,492. Senor Pina y
Cuevas had been appointed Minister of Finance,
and Mr. Whitehead had expected to be able to
advise that Minister's instruction to Col. Facio to
divide the money now in the Bank of England by
the present packet, but was at the last moment
disappointed in th's, not in consequence of any op-
position to it, but owing to the indisposition of
the Minister. The London mail of the Ist April
had not reached the capital on the 3d ult.

The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stocks : Grenada Deferred Bonds, 51 6 ; Mexi-
can 3 per Cents., 20i ; P;ruvian 4} per Cents.,
86 88 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 60 68 ; Portuguese 3

113 ; ditto 4i per Cents., 101 103 ; Spanish 3 per
Conte., 44i ; and ditto Deferred, 27i.
There has been very little animation in the Rail-
way Share Market this morning, prices; however,
have improved to a slight extent in most instances.
Eastern Counties, Great Western, Lancashire and
Yorkshire, North Western and South Western im-
Proved ssf, and North Eastern Berwick 108.
Edinburgh and Glasgow declined about ss. In
the other lines dealt in there was little alteration
to report. The following lines were dull, and but
little business can be reported. In the Colonial
luldertakings East Indian have improved to
106 t, Great Western to 18g.

Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous shares are
flat. Oriental Bank have declined 10s. ; Canada
Land, 11. ; Peel River and Scottish Australian
investments were steady.

ATTEMPTED MURDER BY A WORKMAN.—John Lace, a
working man, living in Liverpool, was on Sunday walk-
ing in the neighbourhood of Mount Pleasant, when he
was shot by a person named Lewis, with whom he had
previously some quarrel. Lace fell to the ground and
bled profusely, but fortunately a surgeon (Mr. Pop()
was passing, and conveyed him at once in a cab to the
Southern Hospital, whore he now lies in a somewhat
dangerous condition. Lewis was brought before the
local magistrates yesterday, but remanded to await the
result of Lace's wounds.
