MONEY MARKET AND CITY J.,'" AY. I SHARE MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, Two o'CLoc7C,

The markets for Foreign and Colonial Produce
during the last few days have been very inactive,
and prices, in some instances, have slighly receded.
Tea has been at steady rates, notwithstanding the
extensive sales of damaged goods that have taken
Place. Coffee, of good quality, brought fully former
values, but inferior descriptions were a shade lower.
British West India sugar has been in limited
demand, chiefly for home consumption, and
°ply the better qualities realised previous rates.
Rice continues very dull, and lower prices are now
current. Fruit, spices, and saltpetre have been
dealt in to a limited extent, at about former rates ;
and in tallow there has been scarcely any business
reported., P.Y.C. on the spot being dull, at 525. to
428. 3d. per cwt. At the public sales of Foreign
and Colonial wool there has been rather more ani-
Illation owing to the improved character of political
affairs on the continent, and the quotations realised
at the commencement of the sales have been fully
611PPorted.

Tile Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
'I.IIIIY, and the previous advance was fully sup-
Ported. The sales were estimated at 10,000 bales.
4311 the Stock Exchange a fair amount of business
Wa-s transacted in railway shares, and prices were
without any important variation.
On the 30th inst. the half-yearly interest is due
1)11 the 6 per cent. and 3 per cent. Chilian Bonds,
4114 on the 31st on Danish 3 per Cents.
The applications for discount accommodation in
tonhard-street continue moderate, and, as lower
rates are charged there than at the Bank of Eng-
land, the authorities of that establishment obtain
"IY a limited share of the bills brought forward
for negotiation. The general charge for first-class
Paper is 21 per cent., the market having acquired
rather more firmness during the last few days. At
the Stock Exchange there is still an excessive sup-
Ply, and some difficulty is found in finding bor-
rowers on Government Stock at 4 or 1 per cent.
The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
l'era, which leaves on the 12th for Bombay, will
take out £384,925 in silver.

At the Bank of England yesterday there were
to bullion operations of importance.
The dollars brought by the last West India steamer
have been disposed of at 601 d. per ounce, showing
a decline of Id. on the price realised in the early
Part of last month.

A resolution was passed at the Royal Swedish
Railway Company to-day to postpone the issue of
the new obligations.
The usual half-yearly meeting of the East Anglian
Railway Company took place to-day. The report
showed a falling off in the last six months of
XBB9 .‘BB9 3s. 7d., arising from the depression in the
B.ralh trade and the consumption of coals.
The gross revenue for the half year was £25,813
11d., and the working expenses of the Eastern
'ennties Company, £11,476 11s. ld., leaving a
u °lance of £14,337 4s. 10d., which was devoted to
Interest on the bonds:on A and B stocks ; and a
sufficient amount was also apportioned for the C
stock at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum. The
report was adopted.
There has been some variation in the market for
Public Securities to-day, but, considering the
1110vements on the Paris Bourse, the Funds have
been
better maintained than might have been
anticipated. A slight decline has nevertheless
taken
place, Consols being 96 to 961 for money,
1111 d 961 1 for the account. India Loan Debentures
lave advanced to 99 and 991 ; ditto Bonds to 20s.

The proceeds of Mr. Spurgeon's Edinburgh

tiLo• Of this £22ooes to Mr. pgeon's new tabernacle,
uu. to Dr. Begg, and £lO5 to the Young Men's Christian
/Istituto. The speculation has been so remunerative that
NPf: aY,after a sufficient time has glided past, have it tried
again ; but it is hoped that, now that the Edinburgh folks
got their curiosity satisfied, they will be more rigid in
irgull: of the propriety of these sacred
vress.
