MONEY 3 MREET AND Y NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

The market for Foreign and Colonial Produce
during the last few days has been dull. Tea, how-
ever, has been in good demand, and the better
qualities have shown a slight advance. For sugar
there has been only a limited inquiry, and
a decline of about 6d. per cwt. has taken
place on most descriptions. Coffee has been
quiet, but at about former values. Rice,
rum, and spices, have been in very limited
demand at about former quotations. For saltpetre
the inquiry has been rather brisk, and an improve-
ment of about 6d. to ls. per cwt. has taken place.,
Tallow continues firm, P.Y.C. being quoted 535.
6d., on the spot ; 535. 9d. to 545. for March ; and
525. 3d. per cwt. for the last three months' de-
livery.

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
heavily, and prices were without any material
alteration. The sales were estimated at 6,000 bales.
In Railway Shares a moderate business was trans-
acted, and quotations were rather firmer.
About £4,000 in gold was taken into the Bank
of England yesterday.
The demand for money continues limited, not-
withstanding the proximity of the 4th of the month,
and the numerous loan and other engagements
which will shortly arrive at maturity. In the
course of a few days, however, a slight change may
be experienced, as the amount of capital required
to nleet the various disbursements is considerable
The City of Baltimore has arrived from die
United States with £26,137 in specie.
At the half-yearly meeting ofthe Scottish Austra-
lian Investment Company, held to-day, Mr. Dixon
'l.l the chair, a report was presented showing a net
available balance of £28,803 Os. 9d., from which the
directors recommended a dividend at the rate of 10
Per cent, per annum. It was also proposed by the
directors to raise a further sum of £200,000 by
Preference shares at 5 per cent., for which they
alleged there would be profitable employment.
B°lne discussion took place as to the allowance to
Mr. Morehead, and the raising of the new capital,
80 that the report was not adopted at the time of
this despatch being transmitted.
There has been very little movement in the
market for Public Securities to-day. Speculation
Is Very inactive, owing to the approach of settling
tu,a3T, and the continued uncertainty with regard to
Lee progress of affairs abroad. The Paris Bourse
remains in an unsettled state, and this checks any per-
manent
t l
day. The principal money transaction has been
Ta
;Purchase by the Bank broker of £20,000 New
hrees for the Savings-banks. It is generally
illagined that the market would have been still
more depressed if the remittances from Australia
had not been announced.
Bank Stock has been dealt in at 228 to 229. The
