THIS DAY.

Two o'CLoes.
Although Australian news of great importance
has been published in the Daily News of this morn-
ing, the market is fiat, the unfavourable rumours as to
the Agua Fria_proprittary shares still causing much
uneasiness. The statement is, that at the settlement
on Friday some proprietary shares of the Ara Fria
were delivered in breach of faith to the public on the
part of the directors, and u the true facts of the
case are little known, public confidence has been much
Askew..lt sessak however, that the accusation is
made under an entire railapPieliendon 'of the
circumstances, because the directors are not in
the terms of the prospectus in any way pledged,
as suppmed, and have taken every precaution for
the safeguard
of the shareholders in this very trans-
action. What is tho fact is that one-third of the
shares was given to the previous proprietors
of the mine, with the understanding that ono-half
should bo kept back. It is a portion of the other
half which has been brought into the settlement, and
as the numbers of the scrip arc unusual, alarm has
been unduly created.

The following are the latest quotations of the
shares not yet officially marked: Australasian, I to
prem. ; Colonial Gold, 7 to I prem.; Port Philip,
par to prem.• ' Lake Bathurst, I to k prem.;
Quartz Rock, far to k prem.; Australian Freehold,
par to I prem.

Gold mining adventure, so rigid kW, has received
a slight check this week. The ohms already be-
fore the public being regarded as sahlently varied
in their distinguishing ebenallemilhis, and as pre-
senting an ample field far himoftont, little encou-
ragement has been afforded to the Unit, out of
fresh projects, and consequently tbs passes. that

THIS DAT.
Tire o'Cioci.
The heaviness of which there was a sign on Bator-
day, is now more observable, and this being likewise'
a quiet day, the market is not so well supported by
the public. London and North Westerns-have been
dealt mat the saasspriceeas before. OreatNortherna,
South Westerns, mad Manchester and Sheffield' are
lower, but in other mess prices are unchanged.
Tho French department has been inactive, but
the quotations ate nominally the same.

MUNE Y MARKET.
THIS DAY.

Two o'CLocx.

On Saturday there was a firm tone in the stock
market, and Consols closed 974 to 1, which was the
first price to day, but this morning, shortly after the
opening of business, it was observable that sellers
were coming forward to realise, and the quotation
was only 974 to Z. Even this rate has not been
unstained, for Consols have been as low as
974, at which they were buyers for ac-
count, but rather sellers for money. The mar-
ket is, however, fluctuating, and at the last
advices was firmer. Tho following are the transac-
tions as yet recorded :—Threo per Cent. Consols An-
nuities, 971, 1,4, 4, 1 ; ditto for account, 974, 1,1, 4;
Three per Cent. Reduced Annuities, 981, 98 ; Now
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cent. Annuities. 994, 4.
Bank Stock, 2161, 217. India Stock, 259,238.
Sales still offer of the unfunded securities, as may
be expected, and a further decline has taken place
to-day. F.xchequer Bills, after being dealt in at 56e.
to 68s. prem., have gone lower still, being last
transacted at Ms. to 375. prem. This is a decline of
Bs. from the highest price lately reached. Parties
are indisposed to operate at present, and the dealings
reported are the following :—Exchequer Bills, 1,0904,
Ms. 'prem. ; ditto small, Ms. to 345. prem. India
Bonds, under 1,0001., 68s. prem.
While the other markets have been dull and de-
clining, the foreign stock market has been good.
Thu aid operations are, however, in Grenada Ac-
tive and Deferred, each of which has advanced.
Mexicans have slightly improved, and Equador ad-
vanced 41 to 1. The meeting of the Spanish Ameri-
can committee is, we believe, now sitting, and it is
understood an arrangement will be made with
Mr. Mocatta and Messrs. Powles, of Bogota,
to take charge of the interests of the bondholders
in Equador. Peruvians are likewise advancing, and
indeed there is a general improvement in South
American stocks. he following is the official re-
port of the business transacted: Buenos Ayres
Bonds, Six per Cent., for account, 51. Dutch Bonds,
Two-and-a-Ralf per Cents., 594. Equador Bonds,
44, 4, 4. Grenada Bonds, ex Dec. 1849, Coupons,
194, 221, 211; ditto Deferred, 84, 4, 4,1, 4. Greek
Bonds, ex overdue Coupons, 7. Mexican Bonds,
Three per Cents., 322 ; ditto for account, 321, 1.
1. Peruvian Bonds, for account, 961, 97, 98 ; ditto
Deferred, 49, 484. Sardinian Bonds, for account,
891,1. Spanish Actives, 234 ; ditto Old Three per
Cent. Bonds, 411.41 ; ditto, New Three per Cents.
Deferred,lBl ; ditto Committee's Coupon Certificate,
14 per cent. Venezuela Deferred Bonds, 131.

•SATURDAT EVENING.

The condition of tho discount market is well
enough known to be easy, so far as the supply of
money is concerned, with only the restrictions ren-
dered necessary by the state of credit. Discount
may be quoted 2 per cent. for first-clam bills, and
monep on call 11 per cent. The dealers are unwill-
ing to enter into contracts for money for long
periods.
The overland express brings the account of the
failure of Mr. H. C. Mackey, of Calcutta. Thus the
expectations of a favourable result in the winding-
up of the firm of Hadow, of which Mr. Mackey was
the only surviving partner, are materially affected.
We have no movement to announce this week in
bullion at home or abroad, but buyers of silver are
holding off in expectation of a decline in rates.
The imports of specie this week amount to about
470,0001., and include 102,3301., chiefly gold, by the
Asia, from Now York, and 1,764,275 dots., by the
Trent, from the West Indies (419,077 dots. gold, and
1,345,198 dots. silver) as follows : from Tampico,
112,875 dole. • Vera Cruz 769,556 deb., and 42,000
'
dole. for the Mexican Bondholders; 152,200 dole.
gold, and 366,266 dole. silver, from tho Pacific;
62,431 dolts. from Carthagena, 5,271 dots. from Santa
Martha, 17,320 dole. from Jamaica, 2,000 dole. from
Chagres, 11,592 dole. from Greytown, 14,829 dots.
from other parts of the West Indies, and 10,28 W.
plate pins. It is evident that the freight of the
Trent includes very little from California, and that
the Pacific supplies chiefly from the mouth. This
serves to show that the remittances on English ac-
count from California take the New York route.

The exports of bullion this week are only those
from the port of London. The total amount of these
during the week ending Thursday last was:—Silver
coin: to Rotterdam, 18,000 or.; to Boulogne, 259
oz. Silver bars: to Boulogne, 1,850 or. Gold coin:
to Boulogne, 128 oz. ; ditto to the Cape of Good
Hope, 8,0001. Total, 18,9631.; gold, 13,9411.; silver,
5,0221.
An analysis of the railway traffic returns of the
United Kingdom for the last week, published by
Herapalles Journal, shop the total receipts on 6,600
miles to be 246,1611., or at the rate of 371. 10s. per
mile per week. The total receipts for the correspond-
ing period of 1851 were 225,5031. on 6,269 miles,
or SU per mile per week. There is thus an in-
crease in the aggregate receipts of 20,6581., or 9.16
per Gent.; an increase in the mileage of 334 miles;
and an increase in the amount received per mile per
week of 11. ss. The Railway Ames estimates the
total receipts since the Ist of Jan. at 1,403,3541.,
which, on 6,491 mica, gives an average of
2161. 3s. 111 d. per mile, and as the amount for
the same period of last year was 1,316,4001. on 6,244
miles, or 2101. 13a. 3t6. per mile, the balance is
shown to be in favour of the present half year to the
extent of 51. 10s Bd. per mile.
