NON.EP MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLoci.

In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
the operations during the last few days have been
of a very limited character. Tea has continued at
about previous prices, while sugars, coffee, and rice
are without material change in values. Saltpetre
and indigo have slightly advanced, but tallow has
been dull for both present and forward delivery.
P.Y.C. on the spot being quoted 525. 3d., and spring
delivery 535. per cwt.

A steady business is still daily negotiated in
the general discount market, but there is a per-
ceptible increase in the number of inquiries, which
has induced rather more firmness on the part of
the banks and private establishments ; few bills
are therefore now discounted below 2'3- per cent., while
in some cases accommodation is refused under 21
per cent. At the Stock Exchange the supply of
money continues very large, and advances on Go-
vernment securities are consequently obtainable on
exceedingly moderate terms.
Business in the Liverpool Cotton Market yester-
day, and prices were very firm. The sales wero
estimated at about 10,000 bales.
About £36,000 in gold was sent into the Bank
of England yestesday.
'1 he steamer Pera, which leaves to-morrow for
India, China, &c., will take out £136,077, of which
only £4,530 is in gold. The Tagus has conveyed
20,000 sovereigns to Lisbon.

The traffic receipts of the South-Eastern Rail-
way for the past week amounted to £16,914,
while in the corresponding period of 1860 they
were £18,629; and of the Brighton they were
£14,866 against £15,130 last year.
Although the flow of gold into the Bank of Eng-
land is greater than it was some weeks ago, the
greater portion of the Australian and other supplies
is taken into the establishment, and the bullion is
therefore expected to show a further accumulation.
The total quantity purchased by the authorities
since the date of the last published balance-sheet has
been £213,000.

The Market for Public Securities continues
buoyant, and a steady advance is recorded on the
Paris Bourse, which, by the way, is one of the
principal stimulants to the upward tendency of
Consols. Very little change has taken place in the
quotations to-day, business having been recorded
for transfer, including the dividend, at 941 1, and
for account, less the half-year's interest at 921 '-4,
showing a further rise of per cent. upon the im-
proved quotations of yesterday afternoon.
An improvement has also taken place in the New
Threes, viz., to 921 1; and the Reduced to 92 1.
Bank Stock is firm at 231/ and 232 ; India ditto
has risen to 226; and the 5 per Cents. to 1061
107. The final instalment of 20 per cent. became due
to-day on the latter. Exchequer Bills, March, are
10s. prem., and ditto, June, 12s. to 15s. prem.
Foreign Securities continue to attract the atten-
tion of the speculators, but the dealings to-day
show a slight diminution. In most instances the
transactions have continued to exhibit indi-
cations of buoyancy. Turkish 6 per Cents.,
for example, have been dealt in at 82, and
those of 1858 at 72 and 721 ; the latest
quotations being 811, 821, and 721 1 respectively.
A few bargains have taken place in Spanish which
also continue firm, the 3 per Cents. being about
ma to 52}, while the Certificates are firmer at 7 to
71; Venezuelan, which left off yesterday at 241
are now about 241. No material change has taken
place in Mexican, and they are quoted at 271 28
Sardinian have risen to 831; Portuguese to 481 ;
and Russian 41 per Cents. to 93 ; Buenos Ayres
per Cents. are firm at 901 ; and the Deferred at 30.
Increased activity has prevailed in the Railway
Share Market, and a further advance has taken
place in the rates realised for most of the principal
undertakings. Caledonians, Great Westerns, North
Westerns, and North Easterns (Berwick) have im-
proved ss. ; Great Nora ern, Lancashire and York-
shire, and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln 10s.;
and Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee £1; London,
Chatham, and Dover, and South Easterns, however,
declined 10s.
The Foreign and Colonial lines were in fair de-
mand. South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian
improved to 181 ; Great Luxembourg, to 91 ;
East Indian remained steady at 103 ; Great Indian
Peninsula, at 1011; Grand Trunk of Canada
brought 21 and 211 ; and Great Western of Canada,
101.
Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
fully maintained previous rates. London and
County brought 371; Union of Australia, 391;
Union of London, 28 ; Crystal Palace Stock, 36;
Peninsular and Oriental Steam, 71 ; and Royal
Mail Steam, 49.
