3:10.N. BY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

During the last few days the dealings in the
Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets have been
of a rather restricted character. Prices, however,
have shown no particular variation. Tea has con-
tinued at steady rates, and sugars have been dealt
in to a fair extent at former prices. Rice has con-
tinued dull and at slightly reduced values. Salt-
petre and tallow have also shown slight depression.
P.Y.C. on the spot being now quoted 595. 9d.,
April to June, 555. 6d., and 569. for last 3 months'
delivery.

Bills to the amount of £400,000 are due to-day
among the Greeks, and some anxiety is naturally
felt to ascertain whether they will be duly met,
although the hope is indulged that ample provision
has been made for their liquidation.
A further sum of about £56,000, in gold, was
purchased by the Bank of England yesterday.
A meeting has been convened of the shareholders
in the Chartered Bank of India, Australia, and
China, to receive the accounts and to declare a
dividend, and also " for the purpose of authorising
the directors to apply to her Majesty's Treasury
for permission to issue notes payable on demand at
Singapore."

A fair amount of business was transacted in the
Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday at previous
values. The sales were 8,000 bales.

There is still a large supply of mercantile bills,
and full rates are demended for negotiating them
in the general market as well as at the Bank of
England.

To day an instalment of 20 per cent. became due
on the New Indian 5 per Cents. Loan of £3,000,000.
Friday next, the 15th inst., has been appointed
a special settling day in the shares of the Trust and
Agency Company of Australasia (Ist issue), and of
the London Chartered Bank of Australia New £2O
shares, and transactions in the same are to be re-
corded in the official list.

A very small amount of business has been trans-
acted in the market for Public Securities to day,
and it has consequently presented an exceedingly
inactive appearance. The quotations, however,
have slightly improved, Consols being 911 for
transfer, and 921 for the 18th prox., owing to a
few purchases on speculative account, and the
slightly easier tone of the money market. The New
Threes have been dealt in, by special transfer, at
911 r. India Stock remains at 221; ditto 5 per
Cent. at 100 - ; and Bank Stock for account is
2341; Exchequer Bills, 12d. per diem, are marked
7s. to 2s. dis. ; ditto 2d. per diem, 4s. dis. to par.
Business in the Foreign Stock Market has been
quiet, and prices generally have been firm.

1858, 53 to 53,1 ; Mexican have improved to 24 ;
and Dutch 4 per Cents. to 101 ; ditto 21 per Cents.
are steady at 631; Portuguese at 461 ; and Bra-
zilian 41 per Cents. at 851

The dealings in the Railway Share Market have
not been extensive, but previous rates have been
current for most of the principal undertakings.

North Westerns, have improved os. ; and Eastern
Counties, 10s. ; while Great Northerns, Midlands,
North Eastern (Berwicks), and South Easterns,
have declined ss.

been dealt in to a fair extent, and prices have not
shown any material variation. Grand Trunk of

ss. to 10s.
