MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Excessive quietude prevails in the Stock Ex change, the Money Market, and the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. In all these quarters business is dull, and there appears no likelihood of an early revival. In discount circles there is a very plentiful .supply of floating capital, and although the rates are easy at 41 and 4 per cent. for the negotiation of the best paper, the requirements of the commercial public are comparatively triflirg, and the inquiry for accommodation is therefore very limited. At the Stock Exchange quotations have varied, although only to a slight extent. The Funds are a little weak upon the settlement, which will be concluded to-morrow. Consols are 89} 1 for money, and 891 for November. To-morrow (Tuesday) is expected to be issued the report of the Committee of Investigation of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company. The bullion operations at the Bank of England on Saturday afternoon were of an unimportant character. The reports from several of the principal manu facturing districts state that during the past week business has slightly improved. At Manchester the operations in both cloths and yarns have been to a moderate extent, and prices have ruled a shade higher. In the woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield the dealings in autumn and winter goods have been to a fair extent, while more anima tion has prevailed in the hoisery and lace depart ments of Leicester and Nottingham. In the hard ware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wol verhampton, however, there has been little change of importance, and in some branches the operatives are only partially employed. Two o'CLocir. According to Reuter's telegram from Paris, to day, the French Rentes were 68f. 85c. Quiet. in the Corn Market this morning English wheat is ls. to 2s. lower than on Monday last. The English Stock Market shows steadiness in prices, although very few bargains have been re corded. Consols are 891 for money, and 891 1 for November. The New Threes and Reduced are 861 87i ; India Enfaced 5 per Cents., 1001 1 ; and ditto Debentures, 5 per Cents., 104. Exche quer Bills, 2s. dis. to 3s. prem. The only movement of importance which has taken place in the prices of Foreign Stocks is a decline of 1 per cent. in Italian, which has fallen to 541 ; Spanish Passive have also receded I, to 2111; the Certificates 1, to 141 1 ; Turkish 5 per Cents. are 301 8 ; Greek, 141 15 ; and Mexican, 161. American Securities are steady. United States 4-20 Bonds are 701 ; Erie shares, 501 511; and Illinois, 781 /. Atlantic and Great Western De bentures are 641 651; and the Consolidated Mort gage Bonds, 45, 46. The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been to a moderate extent, and prices generally are a shade firmer. Great Western, North Western, and Midland have each improved 1, Brighton 1, London, Chatham, and Dover /, and Great Northern, ditto A Stock, and Metropolitan each 1 ; while South Eastern have declined 1. The Foreign and Colonial lines are very quiet and showing no material change in prices. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are inactive. Alliance, however, remain firm at 191; London and Westminster at 91/ 99 ; Union of London at 451; London and River Plate have improved to 48/, and Imperial Ottoman to 9/.

SIIERiFF' COURT. This morning an action was tried in the Sheriffs' Court in which a passenger brought an action against the North London Railway for breach of contract. The plaintiff took a ticket at Kew, on the understanding that he was to go by through train to Broad-street. Instead of doing so he was taken as far as Camden, and there ho was compelled to change carriages and wait a considerable time before he could proceed. He ultimately took a cab to nroad-street, and brought this action for the costs. Tho Commissioner decided in favour of the plantiff. WESTMINSTER. A person dressed in a scarlet cloak hanging down to his heels was charged with creating a disturbance at West minster Abbey yesterday, during divine service, by utter ing loud exclamations. When asked by the magistrate who and what he was ho refused to say a single word. The magistrate ordered him to be detained in custody until some inquiries will be made. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. James Lane was charged with robbing his father of money and jewellery to a considerable amount. The boy exhibited the greatest indifference at the charge.

ARCHBISHOP MANNING ON THE PAPACY. Yesterday being " Rosary Sunday," according to the announcement made by Archbishop. Manning in his recent Pastoral—a Pastoral having especial re ference, it may be remembered, to the position in which the Temporal Power of the Pope now stands by reason of the famous Convention between France and Italy coming into operation between the 15th of September and the beginning of December next —solemn offices, together with numerous masses and communions, were offered up in behalf of the Sovereign Pontiff by the Catholic congregations of London, and for that matter indeed among the whole body of the Catholics throughout England and Scotland. At the pro-Cathedral of St. Mary's, Moorficlds, more especially, the services were con ducted, as under the circumstances was but natural, with more than ordinary solemnity. The Arch bishop assisted pontifically at the High Mass, and preached after the Gospel to a densely crowded and profoundly attentive congregation, composed of Protestants and Catholics amicably mingled together —his sermon, particularly towards the close of it, being most eloquently and, generally throughout it, most impressively appropriate to the occasion. Taking as his text the two opening verses of the thirteenth chapter of St. Paul to the Romans—" Let every soul be subject to higher powers ; for there is no power but from God ; and those that are, are ordained of God : therefore he that resisteth the power resisteth the ordinance of God : and they that resist purchase to themselves damnation"— [Omnis anima potestatibus sublimioribus subdita sit : non est enim potestas nisi a Deo : gum autem sunt, a Deo ordinates sunt : itaque qui resistit potestati, Dei ordinationi resistit : qui autem re sistant, ipsi sibi .datnnationem acquirunt.]—The Archbishop began by saying that on that day the whole of the Catholic Church in England and Scot land united together in a solemn act of supplication for the Divine protection to the person and the authority of the Vicar of Jesus Christ. And this, moreover, upon a day especially dear and sweet to the heart of every Catholic—the feast of the Rosary— full of memories of the perils and victories of Chris tendom, and of gracious interpositions in behalf of the Church of God throughout the world— dear to all alike, to the Pontiff and to the lowliest of the faithful, to the oldest and to the least, to saints and to little children carry ing the string of beads in their hand. In the eyes of the world no doubt that day, the act in which they were then engaged was as a solemnity of folly. But the foolishness of God was wiser than men. Speaking to the children of the Church, the faithful fervent Catholic piety living strong within them, rendered superfluous the accumulation of rea sons for the authority of the Sovereign Pontiff. Submission to that authority being the instinct of their hearts, they needed no arguments to enforce upon them its recognition. They understood and perceived to the full that the spiritual authority of the Church was a direct institution from Heaven the Temporal Power being afterwards added to it by a Divine ordination. Addressing himself to those, however, among the congregation who were not believers in these matters—he could hardly fail to mitigate the asperity of such as had hitherto not un derstood. On Earth there was no authority, he said, so directly or conspicuously ordained of God as that of the Sovereign Pontiff. And his re liance in being able to enfOrce a recognition of this, even upon the minds of dispassionate Pro testants, was based upon the Justice of the cause, upon the Force of Truth, upon the honesty of his fellow-countrymen, but beyond all, upon the working of the ineffable grace of God. The words of the Holy . Ghost Himself protected the Sovereign Pontiff upon earth. The authority of the Papacy was two-fold ; first of all, purely spiritual, but afterwards mingled or blended with temporal autho rity. No one could resist with impunity the sentence of the apostle. The words of the Holy Ghost indi cate that this Power is a Power ordained of God— " Thou art Peter, and upon this Rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." But the q cry ifirst conclusion to be drawn in regard to all Power he maintained was, that the Powcr was ordained of God. It was first spoken of the Empire of Rome, steeped in the blood of the Saints, that old Roman Empire to which though pagan the disciples of our Lord were told by Him that they owed obedience. How much more must that be said of every Christian authority throughout the world. In effect all authority came, not from Universal Suffrage, not from plebiscite, but from the author of human Society, that is from God. Comparing the crime of Treason, as opposed to Authority, to Heresy as opposed to Truth, and to Schism as opposed to Unity, he maintained that if society were of man without God's authorization, then by necessity the highest civil crime lost its highest guilt. Treason, sedition, re bellion, were more than simply crimes against man —they were sins against God. England, Ireland, and Scotland had become bound together, as they were in one sovereignty growing up like all other earthly powers with a sovereign authority which demands obedience—first Anarchy, then the Rep tarchy, then a Monarchy of three kingdoms, all bound together under one authority by the law of sovereignty. 'What sovereignty on earth, however, could compete with that of the Papacy, based as it is upon a tradition of a thousand years ? Even in the five preceding centuries it was already grow ing—informal, no doubt, and incohate. But so likewise was Britain, during the epoch of Saxon anarchy, before its various provinces be came at length united into one new monarchy. Descanting at some length upon the historical evi dences of the wholly exceptional antiquity of the Pontifical power when viewed simply as a Temporal Power among the sovereignties of the world, the Archbishop exposed the notion of depreciating it or setting it aside, so to speak, with three rhymes from Dante. The astounding fact of the transfe rence of the imperial power of Rome, of the ancient pagan Roman Empire from Rome to Constantinople, he insisted upon it, had been manifestly caused, as the Roman law declares, by the direct motion or in tervention of God. It arose, he said, from the mani fest unfitness of the two totally distinct and an tagonistic authorities existing in the same city. In Rome was left no Sovereign ruler clothed with power save the Pontiff. The power, the temporal power 'then devolving upon or assumed by the Pontiff, was the donation of no man—was the gift- neither of Pepin nor of Charlemagne. The throne had become vacant then, as he strikingly expressed it, by the visitation of God. He claimed the right of Sovereignty there by Divine Providence for the Temporal Power—a right confirmed, he said, by possession during a length of time surpassing that which could be claimed by any other sovereignty—confirmed, he would say, by the very disturbances of that possession, proving the right of that possession. No crowned monarch in the world held power reaching back so far, so high, so remotely, as the Sovereign Pontiff. England was delivered over to barbarian anarchy, France was overrun by rude and savage hordes, Germany was a forest, when the Pontiffs were even then reigning in the midst of the already dawning Christian civilization. They were then planting and nurturing the first seeds of this majestic Christendom—now trembling like an arch held together only by the keystone of the Spiritual and Temporal Power of the Sovereign Pontiff. If possession confirms then did this one—and posses sion was proverbially among ourselves nine points of the law. Even a wrong, an abuse, a conquest, as was well known, beCame gilded by possession. And if long possession confirms even a conquest founded on injustice, how much more must it confirm an authority founded originally neither upon conquest nor upon injustice, an authority in its origin bloodless and beneficent ? What authority on earth, in fact, could stand if not upon the existing authority of long possession. Among earthly sovereignties there was no higher authority than the'Civil Power. The Sovereign Pontiff's how ever was—it was higher than the Civil Power : for, above the Temporal Power was the Spiritual Power, the Power divinely instituted, the kingdom not of this world, the authority founded upon Peter, upon the Rock, and against which, until the end of the world, the gates of hell are not to prevail. The Vicar of Jesus Christ was head and supreme from the commencement or dawn of Christianity. First of all, during three hundred years by martyrdom, his spi ritual empire, extending among men of all languages, climes and countries, embraced within it the mightiest power the world had ever then known, that of the Pagan Empire of Rome, and afterwards of Constantinople. After expatiating at some length alternately upon the Spiritual Power and upon the Temporal Power, and then upon both of them together, as inexplicably blent during the last ten centuries, the Archbishop re ferred to what he called the mill-wheel of objections revolving perpetually with such oppressive mono tony, and the iterated discharge from which he said it was weary work to have, over and over again, to meet. It was idle, he declared, to confuse the Spiritual and Temporal authority as in any way mutually dependent. For three hundred years the spiritual authority existed alone—the first three hundred years of the Christian dispensation, those three centuries of martyrdom. And now, even though the whole structure of Christendom were to be dissolved, nay, were to lapse again into Paganism—that Spiritual Power would still live on. How could he designate those who imagined that that spiritual authority was in itself in any way dependent upon a strip of territory or upon a heap of bricks and stone called a city. That indestructible authority was before all temporal possessions, and will be after them. The Earthly authority added to the Spiritual, as raiment is to man, was a mere temporal accident for the unity of Christendom, which is thereby knit together in one family of civilised nations under Pastoral authority. That twofold authority, therefore, he defined as transcending all other authorities upon earth. All simply earthly authorities might be ab dicated by abuse—being, for example, ambitious, aggressive, searching - after cohqpests. He was not enforcing here what was so often and so contumeliously denounced as the Slavish Doc trine of Passive Obedience. Ho was asserting, however, that all unlawful resistance to rightful authority was a sin against God. Charges of this kind could never be directed against the Pontiffs. Obedience there, consequently, was in answer to no slavish doctrine—no Pontiff ever having levied aggressive wars, no Pontiff having ever made un just laws, or inflicted excessive and sanguinary pun ishments. Speaking of Pope Pius IX., he espe cially is refined equity and peculiar particularised tenderness of heart, the attributes of a true Pastor. Pius IX. might ask, he said, like Moses, " Whose ox have 1 taken, 8z9 : " Against him not one of his acts justified the sin of rebellion. If the acts of other powers could be weighed in the balance during the last three centuries, how would they appear in comparison? Dissolve the arch of Christendom, of Christian soci9ty, by striking out the keystone, and the civil powers will at once fall into chaotic opposi tion. Collision, persecution, despotism, arising the one out ut o r f ea t n h t e inn otheargainst despotism, and . Defining Revolution as a re marking that there are powers in the universe beyond those of electricity or of gravitation — the application of the principles deduced from which latter powers resulted in so many of the vaunted achievements of modern science—the Archbishop concluded his discourse by calling upon his hearers to look solely, and to pray solely, for the interposi tion of God during this vitally momentous epoch in the history of the Temporal Power of the Pontiff — for whose raiment, he said, they are now casting lots ! Post tres dies resurgam, he added, in the words of our Lord, and after that yet one other utterance from the same divine lips, " Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my word shall not pass away." SOCIAL SCIENCE CONGRESS. MAN C lIE STER, Saturday Evening. With the close of the proceedings to-day the Congress has accomplished the heavier portion of its busirelss. The inaugural address this morning was by the Right Hon. Henry A. Bruce, M.P., president of the education department. There was a very large attendance, and the raper excited a good deal of interest. The departnrdiit in Ala the liverest discussion took place was that over which the right hon. gentleman presides. There were voluntary papers by the Rev. Canon Toole, on " Religion an essential dementia the school education of the poor;" by the Rev. W. J. Kennedy, on " The conscience clause ;" and the Rev. J. Oakley, on the "Religious difficulty." This opened a very wide field of discus sion, and the subjects were taken up with great in terest. The section sat in the Crown Court, which was nearly filled throughout. There was a large number of ladies present. The dock in this court is very spacious; and as it is one of the best places from which to hear and see, it was given up to the fair sex. The section for the repression of crime continues to form one of the chief attractions. It has been filled throughout, and this meeting was so largely attended that several could not obtain admission. There were papers, by Sir Walter Crofton, C. 8., respecting " Female Convicts, and our efforts to amend them ;" Miss M. C. Bennett, an interesting statement of the" Working of the Carlisle Manorial Refuge ;" Mr. C. Nichol', on " Reformatory Work ;" by the Rev. J. Fish, relating to the " Re formatory and Industrial School Acts ;" and an other from the Rev. A. K. DlCallum, on the " Pri son Qualification for Admission into a Reforma tory." The subjects which were brought under no tice in the Health Department were chiefly relating to localities, such as the high rate of mortality in Liverpool, the recent epidmic of typhus in Aber deen, and one of m o r e g eneral application respect ing the attack of cholera in the east of London. The latter was fro m Dr. Bain. There was but a small number in the Nisi Prius Court, which was devoted to the department of economy and trade, although the topics set down on the paper were of considerable social importance. The Rev H. Solly read one upon Working Men's Clubs and Institutes in their relation to the upper classes and to national progress ; Mr. James Airlie advocated recreative amusement as an agency in social reform ; and one by Mr. Henry Walker, which was a memo randum on the development of wholesale and retail trade in the metropolis, and on the causes of the early closing movement. The other sections had papers brought before them relating to Jamaica and its resources, on building societies, and burial clubs; juvenile emigration and the credit system. To-day a supplementary section was held, under the chairmanship of Mr. Thomas Bazley, M.P. It was for the purpose of hearing a paper by Major-General Sir Arthur Cotton, and read by Major-General Fredk. Cotton, upon " Famines in India, their causes and remedies." It entered into the subject at great length, and stated that famines should be c provided o u r a gem ent against, sh o u thesaniet war, and that full en dbe give n a irrigation and navi gation. If proper measures were adopted famines in India might be prevented. The works which Go vernment had undertaken had already produced the most beneficial results ; but much more re mained to be accomplished. THE OXFORD MUSIC-HALL—The young sisters Julia and Julistto Dolepierre, performers on the violin and zilophone, whose appearance at the Crystal Palace concerts some seven years an when more children, excited much attention, terminate their second successful engagement at " The Oxford" at the close of the present week. THE ABYSSINIAN PRISONERS.—We are glad to be able to announce that the Government have resolved on making a new effort to resell° the unfortunate Englishmen who are still held in captivity by King Theodore in Abys sinia. In a fow days Mr. Flad will leave for the Court of thit Sovereign, the bearer of a conciliatory and dignified letter from the Queen, urging the release of our country men. Colonel Merewether will follow Mr. Flad, with suit able presents for the Abyssinian monarch, as far as Masso wah, whore he will await the result of Mr. Flad's mission befpre ho proceeds further. We sincerely trust this new effort will be successful, but it is obvious that our country men aro completely at the mercy of King Theodore. Any thing like a display of force in the inaccessible region of Abyssinia is out of the question. It would fail to effect the release of the prisoners, and would almost inevitably involve us in a costly and resultless war. There is every reason to believe that Mr. Flad is the most likely person the Government could have selected to succeed in the mis sion they have entrusted to him; and we hope many weeks will not elapse before he sends us back some good tidings of our unfortunate countrymen.

SPORTING NOTES, Although the Newmarket Meeting commences to-day, the most import event to be decided is the Cesarewitch, for which every large owner or trainer of horses has, or is supposed to have, a good thing, apart from which an additional eclat is given to it by the attraction of the Middle Park Plate, to which the noble gift of 1,000 sovs. is added by Mr. W. Blenkiron, the well-known breeder, and whose liberality is disinterested, and an example worthy of all praise to sundry noblemen and gentlemen, who, in their smaller contributions as stewards to different meetings, generally contrive to win back with their own horses in stakes considerably more than they subscribe. The march of intellect in racing has been equally rapid with every other pursuit, but things have sadly altered since the commencement of my interest in turf pursuits twenty years ago. In those days, when Lords George Bentinck, Eglinton, and the Marquis of Waterford, now unfortunately living in our memories only, were the lead ing turf celebrities, in conjunction with the Earls of Glas gow, and Zetland, still living of the old school, no such ac tion as scratching horses from the excuse of being fore stalled was ever a part of their creed. Very different are the tactics used nowadays, when it would be difficult to award a premium to the most successful of the sporting aristocracy, who have taken the greatest ad vantage of public credulity, and who appear to think it a praiseworthy feature in their raging career to do so. However, my present business is to endeavour to en lighten your readers on forthcoming everiti at this meeting, and declining to interfere with to-day's running,'l shall at once turn my attention to Tuesday's engagements. In the Clearwell Stakes, if ACHIEVEMENT is started, it is out of the question looking elsewhere for the winner, indeed it is only a nice exercise gallop for her pre paratory to her engagement in the Middle Park Plate next day. WESTWICK certainly ought to win the Royal Stakes (across the fiat), after which the Cesarewitch presents itself for /notice. It would be wearisome, and is not worth while to go into elaborate detais about it, and I shall content myself by selecting the fourteen horses, from whom the winner is likely to be produced, viz, Regalia, Rama, War, Peon, Lecturer, Comus, Lothario, Potomac, Dubiety, La Favorite, Acton, Jollity, Chepstow, and Proserpine. Regalia and Chepstow have been entrusted with considerable investments, but tte first-named has not displayed sufficient form lately to win with 9st on her back, and although her stable companion is, I believe, a good horse —report says that he is better than the mare at a difference of two stone—he has been too much knocked about in the market to obtain my recommendation. There are excep tions, of course, but, as a rule, favourites driven back to such long odds as he has been very seldom win. Rama and Potomac represent a truly formidable stable, as the run ning of Lord Westmorland's horse stamps him as A 1. over a distance of graund ; according to latest market ope rations, however, Potomac possesses the confidence of the stable, and will probably obtain some notice from the judge. War is a good stayer, but he is not particularly well in. Peon is said to be ono of Mr. Ten Broeck's good things, and more unlikely events have occurred than the chance of that gentleman winning the two great autumn events, as he has Paris, 5 yrs, engaged in the Cambridge shire at the ridiculous impost of Gst 121 b. Lecturer has been backed for hatfuls of money the last few days, and it is said, has distinguished himself with Pearl Diver and the Danebury lot. Comus has been extensively supported by the northern division, who are fond of his chance. Lothario will represent Baron Rothschild's interests, as Breeze is a doubtful starter ; but he has too much weight for my fancy. Dubiety is a slashing fine four-yr-old mare with a three-yr-olds weight on, and the reputation of having been specially reserved for this engagement. La Favorite has been backed for very large sums in the last few days ; and as the right division have been at work she must be very dangerous. Act= is a good-looking filly, and a fine goer, but I question if the distance will suit her. Jollity is another first-class three-yr-old, and as Godding considers her form equal to that of Artless, who won after a dead heat with Gaspard in 1859, she is en titled to every respect. Proserpine (the daughter of Jupiter, out of Ceres, who was stolen by Pluto the God of Hell, and carried to his subterranean dominions) belongs to Mr. F. Swindells, whose extraordinary luck in the successful management of winners is proverbial, and who, I believe, is equally sanguine of - the result on this occasion. I know she has had a most satisfactory trial, and is 'sulirtcilta'y every yard of - the-NVay. It must not be over— looked also that she finished in front for the Oaks with Bst 10Ib on her, besides winning three or four races last year in good company. Thera will, doubtless, be a much larger field than I have enumerated above, amongst them Verdant, Bradamante, Philosopher, Ethelred, Gibraltar, Helen or Fan, Surney, Farce or Lively, Lochiel, &c. However none of them have any attraction for me, and I know nothing satisfactory about any of the others. It will be perceived from the foregoing remarks that I have a strong opinion in favour of CHEPSTOW or PROSERPINE, whom I expect to see placed the winner of 1866 ; and to follow the fashion I shall recommend LA FAvORITE, and DUBIETY for places. Wednesday's pro gramme includes the Middle Park Plate, for which all the best 'youngsters of the day are engaged, but although there aro no less than 186 subscribers, I do not think any of the dark candidates are likely to defeat the public form of those which have already given us such sa tisfactory specimens of their quality this season. 1 allude to Achievement, The Hermit; Marksman, Knight of the Gar ter, Ravioli, Wroughton, The Rake, The Palmer, &c. Over this distance of ground (six furlongs), although I shall award the victory to the invincible ACHIEVEMENT, I do not expect to see her obtain a bloodless victory, as there is sure to bo something to make the pace severe, and Bst 131 b is a great weight to carry, and very likely to cause her 71b penalty to tell a tale. Knight of the Garter, from the great improvement he has made lately, must be a formidable opponent to her, as I presume Tho Hermit is short of pre paration, and not likely to be brought out. The Rake and The Palmer are sure to run well, and I believe Freemason, fn W. Day's stable, will prove a good horse some day, and that an investment on him for next year's Derby would not be thrown away. The Beaufort Stakes ought to go to POTO MAC. I should think VAUBAN would be good enough to win the Milton Stakes. The RAKE looks all over the win ner of the Bedford Stakes - ; and I presume Lonn LYON will be sent for the Select Stakes. For the Sweep stakes of 50 sous my choice is FRIPONNIER. The Newmarket Oaks on Thursday reads well for THE FILLY BY KING TOM OUT OF MAYONNAISE, who claims a 71b allowance, and who was one of the first favourites for the Epsom Oaks. The Brotby Stakes will be decided in favour of ROSE or RAVIOLI. The Sweepstakes of 300 soya will be divided between THE HERMIT and MARKSMAN. The Prendergast and the Newmarket Derby Stakes are the only two in Friday's programme which are yet closed. There is very little doubt that KNIGHT OF THE GARTER will add the first named race to his other victories, unless Ailosbury should have improved on his previous running, and surely SAVER NAKE will land The Newmarket Derby for his unlucky owner. As regards Matches, it ought to be any odds on PARIS against Ines. FAKIR is sure to beat Private Chief, LADY BUGLE EYE, the filly by Tom. Bowline, THE PIE MAN, anothek filly by Tom Bowline. I prefer BRE/MAL-- BA:NE to TOUTMalin, JANITOR to Voipttsian, and Lord Ports mouth's ROBIN HOOD will receive forfeit, as the Baron's has come to grief. A FRESH MAN• MINING MARKET.
