COMNIERCTAL INTELLIGENCE

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets,
during the last few days, have been very inactive,
particularly for two of the principal articles, viz.,
sugar and coffee. The near approach of the Dutch
Company's s 31e, in Holland, has tended to depress
prices. Considerable quantities of both these articles
are also announced for public sale here during the
week, and prices are generally rather lower. Tea
has bean very quiet, as both dealers and speculators
have been waiting the delivery of the letters from
China by the overland mail. Cocoa and rum have
been in moderate demand and at steady rates, and
rice has been extremely dull. Saltpow re has been
Inquired for to a moderate extent, but no improve-
ment can be noticed iu values. For tallow there
has been a steady inquiry, and prices have been well
Supported. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted 545. Gd. ;
May and June, 535. ; July and August, 525. 3d. ;
and last three months, 525. 6d. per cwt.
Letters from Liverpool mention that. the Cotton
Market yesterday manifested a dull appearance,
and quotations were unaltered. The sales amounted
to 7,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken by the
speculators, and 500 by the exporters.

The advance in the American exchange will
prevent any important efflux of gold from this aide,
and consequently all apprehension on that head is
removed. Other demands will only absorb a small
amount in the aggregate; the requirements for the
East are limited, and few remittances are, there-
fore, made to the Continent. This will ensure
a further accumulation of specie in the Bank vaults,
for large supplies are en route for Australia.
The revolution in Venezuela is likely to result
in the return of General Paez. if so—and very
little doubt can be felt on the subject—the English
creditors may expect immediate reparation for the
neglect of their claims. Prior to the accession of the
Monagas' family,
.the dividends were paid with due
punctuality, but of late the revenues of the country
which are amply sufficient to discharge all the
State engagements, have been misappropriated.
Anticipating his fall the President has sent
away large sums of money which ought to have
been devoted to other purposes. We hear, however,
that even the pensions have not been paid, and
ao surprise need be felt at the dishonourable
conduct towards the foreign creditors. The
people are at length tired of such a regime, and dis-
gusted at the wholesale plunder that has been
going on. They have risen against Monagas, and
by this time he is no doubt defeated, and Paez re-
instated. Of course, a great deal of anxiety is felt
to learn further particulars—to trace the cause of
the revolution ; but, without knowing the issue, it
may be safely affirmed that the news received yes-
terday is satisfactory alike to the English Bond-
holders and the best interests of the Republic.
A meeting of the Tincioft Mining Company aas
held to-day, when the accounts for the year were
laid before the meeting. The value of the tin and
copper raised and sold in the period of 8 months
was 15,265/. 155., and the expenditure 12,7271.,
leaving a profit of 2,5381. The actual surplus of
assets over liabilities was 4,4061. ss. sd. There
was no dividend proposed on this occasion, and the
accounts were agreed to.
There is a quiet but firm market for Public Se-
curities. The quotations have undergone scarcely
any variation, but there is still an upward tendency,
and a few purchases would no doubt have a marked
effect. Temporarily, however, the arrangement of
the foreign stock and railway share accounts con-
stitute the chief business of the brokers and dealers.
Consols are about 961 1 for money, and 96/ for
the account. The New 3 per Cents. and the
the Reduced, are 951 1. The Indian Loan Deben-
tures are 99a, and the Scrip is 99/ Exchequer
Bills are 355. to 40s. premium, and India Bonds
18s. to 20s. premium.
The transactions recorded in the Foreign Stock
Market are not very numerous, but prices gent rally
exhibit a downward tendency. Turkish 6 per
Ceuta are 971 ex-dividend, and the 4 per Cents.
1041 ; Spanish 3 per Cents, are 431 ; do. Certifi-
cates, 4i ; do. Passive, 61 7 ; Mexican 3 per Cents.,
19i ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 458 ; Russian 45
per Cents., loot ; Sardinian 5 per Cents., 90/ ;
and Belgian 4/ per Cents., 101.
The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 51 6 ; Mexi-
can, 191 201 ; Peruvian 45 per Cents., 81 83 ;
ditto 3 per Cents , 55 57 ;
_Portuguese 3 per Cents. ;
45 46 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 109 111 ; ditto 45
per Cents., 99 101 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 434 441;
ditto New Deferred, 261.
In the Railway Share Market only a moderate
business has been reported, and the transactions
have been chiefly in connection with the arrange-
ments now in progress for the settlement of the
half-monthly accounts. An advance of about to
per cent. may be reportel in most of the leading
lines, and the general tone of the market exhibits
more firmuess. Caledonians, Eastern Counties,
Lancashire and Yorkshire, Great Western, North
Western, North Eastern (Berwick), and Sot-
tish North Eastern, have each improved
about ss. ; Great Northern and Midland, 10s. ;
Brighton and South Westerns declined 10s. The
Fot eign and Colonial lines have been rather quiet,
but there was a slight improvement in one or two
of the principal undertakings. Eastern of France
advanced ss. ; Dutch Rhenish, ss. ; Great Luxem-
bourg declined ss. ; East Indian improved ss;
Great Western of C 'made, ss. ; and Great Indian
Peninsula, ss. Mines, banks, and miscellaneous
shares were steady at previous rates.
