MONEY MAIWIT.-(THIS DAY.)

Two o'CLoci.

The markets opened rather flatly in the morn-
ing, but on the announcement that no further
advance in the Bank rate had been adopted there
was a generally better feeling, and prices have since
shown increased firmness.

The discount market is quiet to-day, and the
supply of money large. The rate of the
best three months' bills, however, is main-
tained at 8 per cent. In the Stock Exchange
there is an increased inquiry for short loans on
English government securities, chiefly in connexion
with the settlement in Consols, and the charge has
risen to 6i to 71 per cent.

Consols, which left off on Saturday at 89 to It,
are now quoted at that price after having been
a fraction lower. For the September account
the latest transactions have been at 89g. The
official business report is as follows :—Three per
Cent. Consols, for money, 89i, 88i, 691 ; ditto for

foreign stocks, the principal change being a decline
in the Confederate Loan to 75 to 77. Spanish
Passive is slightly higher, at 291 to 1.
Transactions are recorded as follows :—Braziliau
Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 984 ; Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents., 621 ; Greek, for ac-
count, 234, g ; ditto Coupons, for account,

The Beata Barbara Odd Mining Company (Limited) haws
received letters from Caplan Bryant, dated Peri, Jesse 24
of which the following are extracts :—"Mine.—Tbe bottoms
in the shallow level are without alteration ; No. 2 shaft ca
south part of the bottoms is progressing favourably. In
eluting the edit level south through the mud our program
is DeOelilifill slow, the gunnys being wide and the mod soft,
but this difficulty is in a fair way of being removed, and
when coos cleared out we shall have added a considerable
length to our doping ground, and I expect, from reports, of
a better quality. The lode in the shaft and stopime is much
as lest reported, and I have much pismire in stating that
the yield per ton costumes to increase as the mine gets
deeper. The produce for the past month, for 409 tons of
stone broken from the shaft and stopes mixed was 1,5791
()haves, equal to 3.854 °lavas per ton. This is cheering,
more especially sa it is evident the beet stone is coming
from the deepest part. The gold sent forward is 3,932
ceases, equal to 453.28 on. troy, being the largest remit-
tance as yet forwarded from this establishment. Reduction
report from 20th May to 20th June.—Stone stamped from
No. 1 floors, from shaft, north end, and dopes, together
40'1 tons. yield 1.5791 eitavas ' 3.854 per ton • bottom of
shallow level 42 toes, yield 311 oitavas, equal to 750 per
too—total 451 tons, yield 1,611 octaves ; land restaroped,
207 tons ; relate stoma, 101 tons—total, exclusive of CM*
caw, 7:',9 tons."
