MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

A strong business has been transacted in most
descriptions of foreign and colonial produce during
the last few days. Public sales, however, have
been suspended during the Whitsun holidays. Tea
has been firm, and the few dealings recorded in
sugar and coffee have been at barely late quo-
tations. A very limited demand has been
experienced for rice and spices, but prices
are a shade firmer, and in rum the dealings
have been limited. Saltpetre has been dull, most
parties waiting the result of the public sales an-
nounced for to-day.

A moderate business has been done in tallow,
the demand from the trade having been only to a
limited extent. Prices however have been toler-
ably well maintained.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday busi-
ness was quiet, but prices were very firm. The
sales were estimated at 6,000 bales. The Railway
Share Market closed with animation, and quota-
tions continued to advance.

The Borussia, from the United States, has been
announced this morning with £6,000 in specie for
this country, and £8,600 for France.
About £B,OOO in Russian gold was sent into the
Bank of England yesterday.
Although the specie movement continues very
active, the imports and exports being conducted on
an extensive scale, the bullion at the Bank of Eng-
land is steadily maintained. Small parcels are
disposed of to the authorities, which occasion a
gradual augmentation. The total is now about
£18,000,000, and the large importation from Aus-
tralia and America seems to justify the impression
that a higher total will soon be reported ; combined
with the limited inquiry for accommodation and
the abundance of money, it also favours the opinion
that the minimum will be further reduced.

Another payment of 25 per cent. is due today
on the Indian Loan, thus completing 50 per cent.
of the operation.
During the early part of the day the market for
public securities presented a buoyant appearance.
The Funds were at an advance of 2 to I per cent.,
but so sudden an improvement led to sales
which caused a partial reaction. Consols
rose to 93! I, and they are now 931
or 1 per cent, above yesterday's closing prices. It
is evident that the market is buoyant, and that a
few . purchases are sufficient to cause an upward
movement. Bank Stock has receded to 219; the
New Threes advanced to 93/ 941; and the Re-
duced to 941. India Loan Debentures to 95, and
the Scrip to 94. Exchequer Bills are steady at 235.
to 265.

The transactions in the Foreign Stock Market
have been rather restricted, but prices generally
show a further improvement. Turkish 6 per Cents.
aro 74 to 76 ; ditto New 60 to 62 ; Brazilian 41 per
Cents. have advanced to 911 92 ; Mexican to 181 6;
Peruvian 41 per Cents, to 85 ; ditto Uribarren to
80; Portuguese to 43 and 44 ; and Dutch 4 per
Cents. to 97; Venezuelan Deferred is steady at 171.

Increased buoyancy has been apparent in the
Railway Share Market, a further rise of to 1 per
cent. having been realised on most of the principal
lines. Eastern Counties and Stockton and Dar-
lingtdn advanced ss. ; Caledonian, Great Northern,
North Western, and Great Western, 10s. ; and
Lancashire and Yorkshire, ME;nchester, Sheffield,
and Lincoln, Midland, North British, North
Eastern (Berwick), North Eastern (York), and
South Eastern, £l.

The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have
'been in very limited favour. Lombardo-Venetian
Old shares improved to 7 and 71 ; and the New
'shares to 64 7. Grand Trunk of Canada advanced
to 351 36. East Indian remained steady at 102;
.and Great Indian Peninsula at 98-1 99.
Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
have shown very little activity. London Char-
tered of Australia, Oriental Bank, Canada Land
and Peel River Land were dealt in at previous
-values.
