There is nothing new in the City to-day, but Alder-
man Johnson's case has afforded a subject for much dis-
cussion among all classes.
The produce markets are brisk, and business in ge-
neral is good ; but the weather excites some uneasiness,
and a good deal of money has within the last fortnight
been paid for duty on foreign corn.
The Funds are more buoyant to-day upon the news or
the Morocco peace, and there bas been some animation. A
few of the jobbers were inclined to depress the market,
but the effort has proved unsuccessful. Consols for Dn.-
mediate transfer have been marked 99* to 99k, and for
time 994 to 11. The Commissioners obtained their stock
at 99+. Bank Stock has been firm at 200, but India,
Stock rather flat at 283. The New Three and-a-11011
per Cents. have been 1011 to ; the Reduced, 1021 to i;
and the Three per Cents., 99Z- to 1001 ; Exchequer Bibs
have been supported at 745. to 725. premium. Souto,
Sea Stock is steady at 115 ; Long Annuities are 131
to 9-16ths.

The Foreign Securities offer not the slightest feature.
Spanish are completely nominal, the Five per Cents. SC
221, and the Three per Cents. at 33. Portuguese Con'
verted obtain 434 to 44. Mexican are supported at 36,
and Colombian at 134 f. Dutch Two•and-a-Half per
Cents. obtain 61?-3 to f
Shares are very steady, and there is a moderate de"
mand. Greenwich look better, owing to the expectatiop •
that at the meeting now on, the report will be favour'
able.
