NONEY .MARKET AND CITY NEWS'.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets dur-
ing the last few days have remained very inactive,
NO change can be recorded in the value of tea, but
sugars have slightly declined. For coffee there has
been a better inquiry, and good and fine descrip-
tions have realised full values. Rice, saltpetre, and
tallow have been in limited demand, at barely pre-
!lens quotations,

There was an extensive demand for cotton in the
Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and the sales
poached 30,000 bales, one-half of which were
Purchased for export and on speculation. An
advance of ed. to id. per lb. was established on
the current qualities of American, but other descrip-
tions were unchanged.
The bullion operations at the Bank of England
Yesterday comprised the influx of 10,000 sovereigns.
The West India packet which left to-day took
out #;80,000.

There is still a brisk inquiry for money, and full
rates are in all cases demanded by the banks and
tlisecunt houses.
The Indian Loan is now before the public. It
is to be negotiated in a 5 per cent. security, not
redeemable until the year 1870, and the amount
required is £4,000,000. Tenders, which must be
accompanied by a deposit of 2 per cent., will
be received until twelve o'cloock on Friday,

in the market for Public Securities today, and it

THE PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Paris is aboutT3 per mille prem., 2
and the short exchange on London is 25.35 per £1 sterling. 10
On Comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
etc
17s
4i* per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is etc
--_4ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. stc
By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 427 i per mark, etc
and the short exchange on London is 13.74 per £1 sterling. st(
...tloths andard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about ,t(
e
Per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg.
4,AThe course of exchange at New York on London for bills at slc
days' sight is 105} to 106 per cent., which, when compared etc
with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the etc
7:f,hange is against England. But, after making allowance etc
Loss of interest and charges of transport, the present
rate leaves little, if any, profit on sending gold to the United
states,

ADELPRI THEATRE.

Last night an apropos sketch was produced at this 2s.
theatre, entitled " Mr. Gorilla," and as such pieces are
never expected to be more than the means of creating a ®ti
hearty laughter, it was successful. The merriment con-
tists in a retired drysalter, Mr. Pipkin, receiving as a pre- st
sent a " Gorilla," which of course upsets everything in the
quiet villa of the old gentleman ; and, as usual
With farce writers, the hand of the fair Marian is the price V,
of the riddance of the obnoxious brute. Mr. Toole made a st
Capital part of the aforesaid drysalter, and Paul Bedford m
Made a very lively Gorilla. s
The whole of the characters took part in a parody on the el
.lumping song of "The Cure," which brought the curtain 8,1
down amid loud applause.
The immense successful drama, the " Colleen Bawn," is
10 be withdrawn next week, although it still continues
l'emarkably attractive. The reason for so doing is that Mr.
and Mrs. Bourcicault may take a little rest from the mono-
besous duty of repeating nightly for more than 200 times
tile words of their respective parts. To fill up the void Mr.
Webster will appear as Robert Laundry in the celebrated
Sensation drama " The Dead Heart."
Prince William and the Princess Royal of Prussia,
'Countess Bruhl, Count Furstenatein, Colonel Kingscote,
and suite, occupied her Majesty's box last evening during
the performance of the "Colleen Bawn."
