ZONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets dur-
ing the last few days have shown rather more ani-
mation. A fair amount of business has been done
in sugars, full prices being realised for the superior
kinds, while low descriptions have slightly given
way. Coffee has continued in moderate request,
and tea, at public sale, brought former prices.
Rice, spices, and fruit have been in rather limited
request without material alteration in values ; and
in saltpetre and tallow the transactions have been
confined to home requirements. The public sales of
Colonial wool terminated yesterday afternoon.
There has been a good attendance of both home and
foreign dealers, and the latter have bought freely
at full prices, which were maintained for all de-
scriptions.
A fair amount of business was transacted in the
Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and the sales
amounted to 12,000 bales, 2,000 of which were on
Speculation and for export ; prices continuing firm.
There is a fair demand for discount accommoda-
tion both in the general discount market and at the
Bank of England. Six per cent. is the current rate
for first-class bills, and the banks and discount
houses are proceeding with increased reserve.
The following communication relates to the New
Granadian Debt :

" The committee of Spanish American bondholders hav-
ing transmitted to his Excellency Senor Martin, at Paris,
a copy of their letter to Senor Espirella, which has already
been published, have received a reply from his Excel-
lency stating his full concurrence in the view taken by
the committee of the entire validity of the existing
agreement. Senor Martin enters into details, showing that
this agreement is in strict conformity with the laws of the
State, and the proceedings of the Executive Government.
This letter is being translated, and will be printed for the
information of the bondholders.

" Senor Martin adds that if the printers perform
their engagement, he expects to be able to commence
the issue of the bonds under the agreement, and to
pay the half-year's interest by the first of July."

There has been rather less animation in the
Market for Public Securities, but continued de-
pre-tsion has been experienced. Symptoms of re-
covery were exhibited yesterday afternoon, but
they were not of long duration, and prices this
morning relapsed into their previous heavy condi-
tion, Consols being 894 j- for money, and 901 for
the account. The New Threes and the Reduced
are heavy at 891 ; and Exchequer Bills remain at
6s. to 2s. dis. Bank Stock has recovered to 233 ;
India ditto to 228; ditto 5 per Cent. Loan is steady
at 978 98; but the Debentures receded to 95k.
There has been very little alteration in the
Foreign Stock Market, and the dealings are of a
moderate character. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 71 u ;
ditto, 1858, 551 I; ditto 4 per Cent. Guaranteed,
100; Mexican, 21i 22 ; Portuguese, 471 ; Spanish,
501; ditto Deferred, 43; and ditto Certificates, 51.
The dealings in the Railway Share Market have
been extremely limited, and little change of im-
portance can be recorded in prices, the variations
barely exceeding 1, per cent. Bristol and Exeter
(Midland), North Eastern (Berwick), and North
Eastern (York), have receded 55., and Brighton,
10e.; Lancashire and Yorkshire, and Manchester,
Sheffield, and Lincoln improved ss.
The Foreign and Colonial lines remains at
former quotations. South Austrian and Lom-
bardo-Venetian realise 15-1,--; Great Luxembourg,
; Grand Trunk of Canada, 191; Great Western
of Canada, En- ; East Indian, 1001, 101 ; and
Great Indian Peninsula, 981.

Joint. Stock Bank and Miscellaneous shares
show no change of importance in prices.
