MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.


CITY, Two o'CLocx.

Less activity has prevailed in the Foreign and
Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days.
Sugars have slightly declined in value, while in-
ferior qualities of coffee have been also at reduced
quotations. Rice, fruits, and spices, have been in
moderate request, without any change of importance
to record in prices. Saltpetre has been in more
demand, and advanced rates have been obtained
for the finer descriptions. Tallow has been in
steady request, and a fair business has been done
for home consumption, P.Y.C. on the spot being
quoted 595,, and for last three months' delivery 555.
6d. per cwt.

There was a fair demand for cotton yesterday at
Liverpool, and prices were fully supported. The
sales were 10,000 bales.

A small quantity of gold, viz. £lO,OOO, was with-
drawn from the Bank of England yesterday.
To-morrow a call of £1 10s. per share is duo on
the Cork and Kinsale Junction Railway shares.
The Tyne has arrived at Lisbon from the Brazils
with £104,000 for this country.
A steady enquiry for money is reported in
the general discount market, and greater activity
is expected during the next few days consequent
upon preparations for the 4th of the month. The
supplies are still very abundant, whi!o the banks
and discount houses hold out for previous rates, and
in some instances require a slight advance, but they
still keep their terms sufficiently under the Bank of
England minimum to prevent much first class
business from being taken to that establishment.
There has been very little -movement in the
English Stock Market to-day, the Funds having
been well maintained, and a few purchasers have
caused a slight advance. Consols are 91i 4 for
money, and 914 92 for the account.
Business has been extremely quiet, the
speculators, as well as investors, showing no disposi-
tion to extend operations. The New Threes and
the Reduced remain at 90 it ; Bank Stock is firm
at 232 and 233; India ditto at 224; ditto New
Loan, 1011 102; but Exchequer Bills are flat at 55•
to 33. dia.

Continued quietude prevails in the Foreign Stock
Market, but prices are tolerably well supported.
Turkish 6 per Cents. are 701 1; ditto, 1858, 531 to
54f. Sardinian have improved to 81 ; Russian 3
per Cents, to 62 ; and Dutch 4 per Cents. to 981 9,
but Spanish are flat at 491.

In the Railway Share Market the dealings have
been tpn a very restricted scale. Prices, however,
are in several instances rather firmer. Great
Westerns have advanced £1; Lancashire and York-
shire and Midland, 55.; and North Western, 102 ;
Eastern Counties have declined Cis.

The Foreign and Colonial Markets have con-
tinued dull, but prices have tended upwards.
South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian have ad-
vanced 55.; Great Western of Canada, 55.; East
Indian, 55.; and Great Indian Peninsula, ss.

Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
remain at almost previous quotations. Australian
Agricultural realise 81, and Pen insular and Qrien-
tal Steam, 72.
