CITY, Two o'CLocK.
During the last few days the operations in the
Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets have not
for
of a very extensive character ; prices, however,
i°r most of the principal staples have been well
sustained owing to the reduction in the rate of
scount. Tea has continued quiet, at previous rates;
for sugar there has been a fair demand, and
moderate
late
eate transactions have been effected in coffee
quotations. Rice, spices, and fruit have
own little variation ; and tallow has been in more
demand fmandor both present and forward delivery, at
slightly
enhanced quotations.
,A large amount of business was transacted in the
Llverpool Cotton Market yesterday, the sales hav-
ing reached 20,000 bales, about 10,000 of which
Were for export and on speculation, and an advance
0
id. per lb. was established on all descriptions,
owing to the news received from America.
A further addition of £27,000 in gold, principally
tnreign, Was made to the stock of bullion is the
Bank of England yesterday.
The precise amount of specie brought by the
Great Britain from Victoria was £328,760.
There is still a moderate inquiry for discount
sie.'°l7llmodation, and the rates remain without the
ughtest alteration of importance.
NllO liquidators of the North of Europe Steam
t twigation Company held their general meeting
4°.'clay) when the report of which the following is
thil "tract was adopted :—" An open account with
° Eastern Counties Railway Company, contain-
ing kany disputed items, which might have proved
the source of much litigation, has, after prolonged
t egoeiation andmutual concession, been finally and
s atisfactorily agreed on. In their last rep
t ort, the
cl4idators informed the shareholders that the fac-
t
°ll at Lowestoft had been sold for £3,550. Upon
801tig into the title, the purchasers took
pertainn legal objections, which prevented the
p
altpletion of the sale. It is hoped, however, that
difaculties are now got over. The purchase-
i'n,neY will probably be sufficient to cover all the
taMlities of the company, in which case the entire
~.alauce will be divisible among the shareholders,
'd Produce a further return of between 6s. and 7s.
Per share." The liquidators requested that the
shareholders would appoint some person or persons
to
audit the accounts (which was done) so that
of
ter the sale of the factory has been completed, a
°ldend may be declared. In the meantime, a cash
balance is earning interest at the Union Bank.
