During the last few days business in the Foreign
and Colonial Produce Markets has been very in-
active, owing to the unfavourable weather. Sugars
have been in very limited demand, but at former
Prices- For coffee and rum there was only a mode-
ste inquiry, but rice was in active request at
glitly improved rates. For most descriptions
ef fruit there has been a fair demand, at late quota-
tions- Saltpetre and tallow have been dull, but a
oderate speculative business has been done in the
latter article, at full rates.
Accounts from Liverpool report that in the Cot-
Ima 'Market, yesterday, rather more business was
transacted, 8,000 bales having been sold at full
l'ates• The Railway Share Market closed quietly,
and prices tended downwards.
Although
a large amount of discount business is
still
transacted at the Bank of England, and in the
ileneral market, there is rather less activity. Had
t not been for the introduction of new companies,
and the issues of guaranteed shares which have lately
t ,fticen Place, greater quietude might have been ex-
rlrlenced, resulting in lower rates for accommoda-
fen, as the commercial requirements at this period
t. the quarter generally diminish, but the absorp-
rl for the projects referred to has sustained the
"land, and kept the quotations in a firm position.
11 t the meeting of the Londonderry and Coleraine
e allway Company to-day, a bill was taken into
°nsideration, the object of which was to raise a
b3ein of £255,00G for the purpose of settling with
tho ,Loan Commissioners and the other creditors of
theoi line,
by the issue of new debentures, £75,000
thWuleil, however, would be raised in money. By
la arrangement a large reduction in interest
World be effected, enabling the shareholders, after
the space of five years, to receive a small propor-
;n of the revenue of the company. There was
:ale discussion on the subject, but the bill was
111314'4:wed of, and passed nein. con. During the
firt,°eeedings Mr. MoCormack, the contractor of the
"e, said that if the shareholders were willing to
iPe4l. nd a little more on the reclamation scheme, a
_ I.e quantity of valuable land might be recovered.
ncreased heaviness has been apparent in the

English Securities to-day, a decline of
Per cent, having taken place, chiefly in conse-
quence„ of the unsettled position of affairs en the
