MONEY MARKET

AYE
C 0 IVIERCTAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

There has been a very quiet business transacted
in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets dur-
ing the past few days, and only the better qualities
of the various article,,, have maintained their pre-
vious values. Sugar met a very dull sale, and the
lower descriptions have declined 6d. to ls. per cwt.
For Coffee there has been a very limited inquiry.
Rice has slightly improved, and in tea, rum, and
saltpetre the transactions were unimportant. The
Tallow Market has been rather firmer, and prices
have exhibited a slight improvement. P. Y.C. on
the spot is quoted 565. ; May and June delivery,
Us. 9d. ; and last 3 mouths, 525. 6d. per cwt. The
next public sale of foreign and colonial wool is
announced for the 29th inst. The quantity already
arrived amounts to about 50,000 bales, the greater
proportion of which is from Sydney and Port
Philip. The quantity will no doubt be largely in-
creased, as several vessels from the colonies are
now overdue.

Letters from Liverpool state that the Cotton
-Market yesterday closed with a dull aspect, and
prices Aclined downwards. The sales were esti-
mated at 7, 000 bales, of which 500 were taken for
"Po' t and 1,006 On speculation. In the Railway
Share Market a decline took place in all securities
except South-Eastern, which maintained Wednes-
day's quotations.
About 10,0001. in Australian gold was sent into
the Bank of England yesterday. It is expected
that the remittances by the Shaftesbury will be
similarly appropriated.
The demand for money is rather more active,
but the terms remain steady, although the tend-
ency is slightly towards an advance. As much as
21 per cent. has lately been paid fur the negotiation
of the bast kinds of bills whereas 2,1 per cent. was
the current charge a short time ago. At the Stock
Exchange there are ample facilities, and loans have
been granted at 1 and 2 per cent. on Government
securities.
Business in the City continues extremely quiet,
and there is quite a dearth of commercial informa-
tion. The operations on the Stock Exchange are
seduced within narrow limits. Consols are steady,
Foreign Stocks nominal, and Shares depressed,
through the unfavourable traffics. Among the
'lipping interest there is little doing, and the
Mincing lane markets are neglected. The fineness
of the weather seems to have promoted a better
feeling, but little or no revival of trade oan yet be
reported. It is considered that the worst is passed,
and the recovery has commenced, but it is very
gradual in its earlier stages, and exercises scarcely
any influence,

The Funds have not varied even to the extent of
it per cent. 17p to one o'clock few bargains bad
taken place, and at previous values. Except a
Purchase of 10,000/. Reduced there has been nothing
to impart the least animation to the market. The
influx of gold, and the continued ease in the Money
Market support values, even although business is
Isn very circumscribed. Consols have been 96i for
transfer, and 96i 1 for the account, they are now
96i and 96/ 1, respectively. The New 3 per
Cents, are 95i ; the Reduced, 951 ; Long An-
