It has been notified that the English and Fo-

the nominal amount of their shares from £5O to

Notice has been given by the Imperial Land
Company of Marseilles that the interest on the fully
paid-up shares, and the shares paid by instalments,
will be discharged after due examination of the
warrants. The interest warrants falling due on the
debentures will also be paid in regular course.
The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
during the last few days have presented a rather
dull aspect, consequent upon the unfavourable state
of the weather. Only moderate dealings have been
reported in sugar at about previous rates. Opera-
tions in tea have been delayed until the public sales,
which commence on Tuesday next. For superior
qualities of coffee there has been an active inquiry
at full rates ; while in rice, fruit, and spices no
material alteration can be reported in values. Tal-
low has been in good demand at full values.

Two O'CLOCK.

At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to
Neuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentcs opened
at 69f. 82c. Flat.

The heaviness of the Consol Market has not passed
away, the latest quotations, viz., being 9lk for
money, and 91i for the account, showing a fur-
ther retrogression to the arnount of per cent.

The markets generally are flat, the chief cause
being an absence of business. The railway market
continues very unsettled, speculative sales prevent-
ing any rise, .though they are at the moment better
than at the opening this morning.
