Bicton Consols having been inspected by Captain
Robert Dunstan on the 18th inst., he reports that there
is in the 34 fathom level south a lode 4 feet wide,
with a leader of lead 20 inches wide, of good saving
work for the last 4 fathoms, with every prospect of
its continuance. The 14 fathom level is resumed to
cut this shoot of lead, and the 44 fathom level is
being pressed forward with all speed to get under
this discovery.
At East Herland the level at the Garden shaft is
clear, and the men have commenced driving the adit
west on the lode; it is opening very good, with a
rich leader of copper ore 8 inches wide. This is a
new.discovery. The stopes in the back are looking
remarkably well. The lode south from Wheal Speed
shaft is still improving.
At Great Crinnis the water is drained throughout
the mine 12 fathoms below adit; the engine con-
tinues to work well, and the operations generally are
progressing satisfactorily.
At South Tresavean some fine lodes have been
opened on from 3 to 4 feet wide, composed of gosean,
and rich in copper ore, deposited in a soft granite
highly mineralised, and stated to be similar in cha-
racter to tlfg lodes of Great Tresavean and other
mines adjacent.
At Wheal Guskus, in the 10 west, on Martin's
lode, there is a good lodP for copper ore worth about
10/. per fathom.

The gold mining shares are very inactive to-day,
and scarcely changed in price. Colonial Gold are
quoted 11- to 11 prem. ; Great Nugget Vein, 1 3-16
to 1 ,5-16 prem.; and other stocks the same as yes-
terday. Business is only marked in three or four
descriptions.
Australian Agricultural shares have rallied to 69
to 71, and Peel River to 24 to 2 prem. North
British Australasian arc quoted 5-16 to 7-16 prem.,
and Scottish Australian Investment, 115-16 to
2 1-16 prem.

The funds ruled at a further decline to-day, and
although a tendency towards a rally was observable
at the close, bringing prices back to about yesterday's
range, the speculative aspect of the market is un-
favourable. It is evident that any favourable news
would have a material effect upon prices, the specu-
lation for a fall, based upon the threatening aspect of
the Eastern question, having been extensive, whilst
the public appear, so far, to have invested on balance.
At present, however, the markets are practically in a
state of suspense, with a general absence of bona
fide business, there appearing to be a disposition on
the part of the public to wait for lower prices before
renewing their investments. In most quarters it
is the impression that, putting the consideration of
actual war on one side as improbable, worse news
may be expected before a final and satisfactory solu-
tion of the difficulty can be arrived at. Meanwhile

we have again to call attention to the fact that many
branches of business are beginning to be unfavour-
ably influenced by the prevalent suspense. To-day
the chief topic of conversation in City circles was the,
circular note issued by the Russian government rela-
tive to the Eastern question, and published in the
official St. Petersburg journal. The general impres-
sion produced by this document is unfavourable, it
being interpreted as menacing to Tuikey and defiant
to the Western Powers. Many parties, however,
profess to see signs of hesitation on the part of the
Emperor Nicholas, and loudly express their belief
that no hostilities will arise out of the complica-
tion.

Consols opened 981 to 2, and receded to 981 to 4,
but slightly strengthened in the afternoon, and after
improving to 981 buyers, finally left off 98 7-16 to 3
ex div. for the 19th July. In the middle of the day
telegraphic intelligence of flatness on the Paris
bourse had some influence, and at the close of official
hours the market here was favourably affected by
later despatches, whjch reported a rally at Paris.
That bourse, howevelr, was understood to close with
less firmness than at the opening. The official busi-
peas report includes :—Three per Cent. Consols, for
the opening, 19th July, 983. 3, ex div. ; Three
per Cent. Reduced, 993, 3, 99; Three-and a-Quarter
per Cents., 1011, k, 3,2, 3. Long Annuities, 1860,
53, 5 13-16, 15-16. Bank Stock, 2285, 229.
Exchequer Bills opened 3s. to 65., and closed 2s.
to ss. prem. India Bonds were sold at 295. prem.
Foreign stocks opened flatly, but were rather
firmer in the afternoon. Russian stocks are fairly
supported. Mexican Bonds were flat at 275 to 28
in the morning, but at the close of business this
stock was strong. Equador Bonds are rather flat,
but Spanish Deferred slightly rallied. Business in
this department was the reverse of extensive, and
the variations in price comparatively unimportant.
At 4 o'clock Mexican Bonds were quoted 273 to 28 ;
Spanish Deferred, 234 to ; the Certificates, 51 to 6
per cent. Peruvian Deferred, 59 to 61 ; ditto Four-
and-a-Half per Cent. Scrip, 4 die. to I prem.
Granada Active, 211 to 221; do. Deferred,
93 to 103. Actual sales are thus marked:—

Spanish Old Three per Cents., 481, 5,3, 5 ; ditto

per Cent. Provincial Mortgage Loan, 3, 1 dia.
There is still no renewal of the voluntary conver-
sion now open at the Bank of England.
The Carnatic has arrived front Sydney, with
19,668 ounces of gold, valued at 78,7001., of which
10,000 ounces are for the Union Bank of Australia,
and 7,000 for the Commercial Banking Company.
Her dates, being to the 28th February only, have
been anticipated.
The silver brought in last week by the Parana
from the West Indies was sold to-day at an advance
of 3d. per ounce, and was nearly all taken for India.
Present quotations are thus reported by Messrs.
Sharps and Wilkins, viz.: bar gold, 775. 9d. per oz.,
standard; Columbian doubloons, 775. per oz.; bar
silver, ss. 13d. per oz. standard ; dollars, 4s. 113 d. per
oz.; pillar ditto, ss. 2d. per oz.
The business in the market for foreign exchanges
this afternoon was not extensive, and gave occasion
to little alteration in rates. For Hamburg there
was money at 13.81, and for Paris at 25.021 for
short, and 25.26 to 271 for three months. Amsterdam
ruled at 11.183 to 5, and Frankfort at 120 to k.
The rates on Spanish places continue flit. In bills
on Vienna and Trieste there were a few transactions

at the rates of last post.
Miscellaneous stocks were generally flat, being
unfavourably influenced by the prevalent gloomy
feeling of the market. Australian Agricultural have
further receded, closing 67 to 69. South Australian
Land and Bri:ish American Land were severally 11.
lower. Crystal Palace shares are supported at 24
to 21 prem. Australian Banks were heavy, the
stocks of the old-established institutions closing at a
fall of 1/. Shares of the London Joint Stock Bank
have been done at 231; London and Westminster
Bank, 36, 351,; Provincial Bank of Ireland, 511;
Victoria Docks (41. paid), 61; Peninsular aud Orien-
tal Steam, 76. Berlin Waterworks shares closed
dia. to par; Aberdeen North American Land, Si. to
78. 6d. per share.
Insurance shares this week have been quiet,
but steady in price. Indemnity Marine and Royal
Exeliange stocks have improved The present quota-
tions are subjoined: Albion, 90; Alliance Marine, 50;
Atlas, 22; Argus Life, 241; British Commer-
cial, ; Church cf Emtland, 31 ; Clerical, Medical,

Equitable Reversionary Society's shares are quoted
1161 cx div. Reversionary Interest Society, 106;
General Rev et sionary and Investment, 105).

The funds opened rather flat, but have since rallied
„t, although business is quiet. In the other depart-
ments of the house general inactivity prevails, but,
in sympathy with the movement in Console, whero
any change in price is observable, it is in a favour-
able sense. Consols were first quoted 981 to 1 ex
div. for the 19th July, and now stand at 98 to 3.
The Three per Cents. Reduced mark 99k to 7, ; the
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 101}, to 1; Bank
Stock, 2295 I; Exchequer Bills, 2s. to 51., prem.
Owing to the paucity of transactions in the foreign
bond market, there is little change to report in
prices, but Russian stocks aro weaker. the recorded
sales are confined to the following, viz., Buenos
Ayrean, 62 ; Chinon Six per Cents., 104 ; Russian
Fives, 117 to I ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents.,
102 to 3 ; Sardinian, 941 to 3.
