For coffee there has been a rather active demand,
especially for good qualities of Plantation Ceylon,
but holders demanding higher rates has, in a great
measure, checked business. The deliveries for
home consumption have increased, and considerably
exceed the average, and stocks are slightly reduced.

Tea has been steady with but little variatiou to
report in values. Rico has been extremely dull,
and only the better qualities of cleaned met a
limited demand for home consumption. Salt-
petre and spices were in moderate request, and
prices have been steady. The quarterly sales of
cinnamon advertised for the 25th inst. have been
postponed to the Ist February. Tallow has been
quiet, but a fair amount of business has been done
throughout the week. The demand from the trade
having been steady.

This remittance is comparatively moderate, but
for some months past there has been a satisfactory
diminution. The dullness of trade may partly account
for this movement. If the shipments are kept down
to about the present average, they will not produce
much inconvenience, and iu the absence of any new
drain the Australian and American receipts will
be chiefly sent into the Bank. The arrivals from
Mexico and other parts will pretty nearly
balance the efflux to the East. Subjoined are the
particulars of the exports by the last four steamers :

About 45,0001. in gold was sold to the Bank
authorities yesterday.

The half-yearly meeting of the City Bank has
just taken place. The Right Hon. the Lord
Mayor in the chair. The report stated that the
bad debts had been less than might have been
anticipated, and that ample provision was made for
them. The net profits was 27,1451. 3s. 3d., from
which a dividend was recommended at the rate of
5 per cent. per annum, leaving 4,2281. ss. 6d. to
be carried t) the new account. The total of assets
and liabilities on both sides was 1,746,2531. After
a short discussion the report was adopted.

In the market for English Securities there has
been no change of importance to-day, and business
is exceedingly dull. Notwithstanding the conti-
nuous flow of gold into the Bank, the quotations
seem heavy, and the specu'ators show no dispo-
sition to increase their operations. The probability
of an Indian loan, more than anything else, is
occasioning this flatness. Consols for transfer
have been 94 1.• 94ti and 94i ; for account they
have been very dull, at 94i- 1 -1, being now firmer.
