The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
during the last few days have been moderately ac-
tive, and for most of the principal staples prices
have been well sustained. Tea fully supported at
previous quotations. unbars have slightly ad-
vanced, while coffee, rice, and spices have been in
fair request at full rates. Saltpetre, however, has
been dull. Tallow has been in more request and
prices firm.

About £31,000 in *gold was sent into the Bank
of England yesterday.
The Armenian has arrived from the West Indies
with £13,600 in gold.

iNotice has been. given by the Spanish Financial
Commission that the auction of the Foreign Re-
deemable Debt will take place at Madrid on the
28th, for which purpose the Government have
assigned 3,495,872 reales.

In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday a fair
amount of business was transacted, and prices were
unaltered. The sales were 10,000 bales.
The Stock Exchange has been thrown into a state
of excitement to-day, in consequence of the failure
of several members who were unable to meet their
engagements. At an early hour it transpired that
a member had suspended, and immediately after-
-wards another and rather important dealer
was " declared," which from the extensive nature
of his transactions created great astonishment ; a
species of panic then ensued, and no less than six
additional failures took place. So many embar-
rassments have not occurred for a considerable
period, and the market for English Funds
has, consequently, been in a very agitated
state. No reliable estimate can yet be
formed with regard to the total liabilities of the re•
spective defaulters, nor can any intelligence be
obtained respecting the dividend each estate is
likely to produce. The misfortune is, of course,
attributable to the recent advance in prices, the
parties in question having operated in expectation
of a contrary movement, although it might have
been supposed that the advance which has taken
place would result as a natural consequence of the
improvement in monetary affairs, and the satisfac-
tory cempletion of the harvest.

The English Stock Market opened with a quiet
appearance, Consols being about 932, 1 for money,
and 93/ for account. For some time business
was suspended, but prices are now at a farther
advance, viz., about 93/ I, and 93-1, 91 respectively.
The New Threes have advanced to 911 92 ; the
Reduced are firm, at 911 a ; India Stock has risen
to 222 ; ditto New Loan Scrip is steady, at 1034
104 ; Exchequer Bills, March, are 2s. dis. ; ditto,
June, Bs. prem.

The only feature of importance in the Foreign
market has been the rise in Mexican stock—viz.,
to 221 ; Turkish 6 per Cents. are 821 1; ditto,
1858, 681 Equador are firm, at 15Z, but Spanish
Deferred have receded to 41k, and Sardinian to
791- ; Russian 41 per Cents. remain at 901.
Business in the Railway Share Market has con-
tinued moderately active, but a slight downward
movement has taken place in values. Lancashire
and Yorkshire have 'receded ss. ; North Western
and South Western, 10s.; and Brighton, Midland,
and South Eastern, £l. Bristol and Exeter, Great

Northern, Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, and
Norfolk have improved ss.

The Foreign and Colonial lines have been
dull, and without material change in values. Great
Western of Canada receded about ss. ; and East
Indian and Great Indian Peninsula improved ss.

Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
are at steady rates. London Joint Stock realise
351 Z ; Oriental Bank, 501; Union of London, 27
to 271; and Royal Mail Steam, 501.

WEST COAST OF

LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 9.

The steamer Armenian, with the West Coast of
Africa mail, has arrived here. She brings 34 pas-
sengers, and 3,400 ounces of gold dust.
Her dates are—Benin, August 7 ; Fernando Po
and Cameroons, August 1 ; Old Calabar, July 30 ;
Brass River, Aug. 6 ; Nun, July 24 ; Bonny, 6 ;
Lagos, Aug. 10; Acra, 12 ; Cape Coast Castle, 14;
Cape Palmas, 16 ; Sierra Leone, 21 ; Bathurst, 25 ;
Teneriffe, 31 ; and Madeira, September 2.
The territory of Lagos was ceded to the British
Crown on the sth of August, the King signing a
treaty to that effect.

A commercial treaty, favourable to British and
French interests, had been negotiated with the
King of Bodaboo.
Fever was prevalent at Bathurst.
Trade on the Gold Coast was rather dull.

The Armenian took the Lagos bar, and the
greater part of the cargo had to be thrown over-
board to get her off. Her Majesty's ship Prome-
theus also took the bar, but got off much strained.

A private letter from Grasse states that the crop
of olives in that country is seriously injured by the long-
continued dry weather. The fruit, completely shrivelled,
is falling from the bees. The vintage presents itself under
more favourable appearances. The vine disease had not
made its appearance, and a more abundant vintage is ex-
pected this year than last.

The Agricultural Society of France for the En-
couragement of the Breeding of Bees,
held a meeting last
week at the TslodeL,Beebive at the Luxembourg. About
100 agriculturists attended from various
rance.
The exhibition of bees, which was held in the Orangery,
was very interesting. The produce exhibited called forth
expressions of admiration from the spectators. It showed
in
how much progress has been made within a few years
one of the most lucrative industries of rural life. Several
very important practical questions were discussed at the
meeting. The country clergy ware represented at the con-
gress by five parish priets. One farmer in Champagne,
instructed in this art by his parish priest, possesses at pre_
sent 1,000 beehives. The efforts of the society have been
attended with the best results. A superior degree of cora_
fort has by its means been introduced into districts where
it was hitherto unknown, The rearing of bees entails no
additional house rent. It requires but a,small capital and
but little labour. It is evident that much remains to be
done when we consider that, while France produces
70,000,000 f. worth of honey and wax, she expends
60,000,000 f. in additional purchases. The Agricultural
Society are of opinima that France might produce
200,000,000 f. worth of honey and wax, and then export
70,000,000 f. worth.
