English mines. Some large dealings have taken
place in North Towy, North Damsel, Tamar Consols,

West Ding Doug, West Providence, Trelawny, and
Balnoon. The prices realised to-day are as follows:

The settlement of the account in the gold mining
share market was in progress to-day, and as the
operators are bulls, and the general feeling of the
security markets was decidedly downwards, this de-
partment filly sympathised in the general depres-
sion. The late active speculation in than shares ap-
pears materially checked.
The shares of the English and Australian Copper
Smelting Company are very heavy, owing to the
de-
sertion of the copper works in South Australia.

better again. The settlement is in progress, and is
against the market.

MONEY MARKET.

WZDNI/Dla EVIMINe.

The market for the home iuncfsWasaisiii un-
favourably affected to-day, and in every department
of the Stock Exchange evidence is afforded of the
check to which we have previously alluded. " Bull "
speculators are looking anxiously for an opportunity
to " get out" of their stock, in the apprehension of
the markets going lower, although the confidence
felt in the prosperity of the country, and in the
ultimate effect of the gold influx, is unabated. Con-
sols have now descended below par. It is obviously
the intention of the Bank of England directors
to do all in their power to check the speculative
movement that had commenced, and which
they imagine may, in the future, experience an
unfavourable extension unless repressed thus
early. A general impression consequently prevails,
that a further rise in the rate of discount is seriously
contemplated. It is understood that the next return
of the institution will show a falling off of full
600,0001. in the stock of bullion. A portion of :this
decrease, however, must have been caused by the
disbursements immediately antecedent to, and con-

markets are supported by
.a production of gold une-
qualled at any former period. The petty speculation
that was going on in gold mine and some other de-
scriptions of securities has, for the time, received its
quietus; and, as regards the general security mar-
kets, apprehensions are expressed that a rise in the
rates of money, such as is threatened, would have
the effect of causing a great deal of stock now held
in pawn to be thrown forward for realisation, thus
aggravating the pressure.
Console fell from 1004 to 99i to 100 for money
and the 18th, and closed with a heavy appearance.
The sales appeared to be both speculative and bona
fide, and no effect was produced by the usual small
purchase of the government broker. Bank stock re-
mains firm. The official business report includes :-
1 Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 1004, 100, 4,
100; ditto, for account, 1004, 4,4, 100. Three per
Cents. Reduced, 1004, 101. Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents., 1042, 4,4, 4, t. Long Annuities, 1860, 6
7-16. South Sea Old Annuities, 1004. Bank Stock,
223, 226.

Exchequer Bills are stationary at 87s. to 70s.
Fern. India Bonds mark 78s. to 81s. prem.
Foreign stocks are flat, but not much affected in
price, awing, in some measure, to the dealers in this
market being in many cases short of stock. Peru-
vian and Spanish Bonds are drooping, but the cer-
tificates issued by the Spanish bondholders' com-
mittee were in demand, and improved to 41 per cent.
Mexican Bonds were also a shade better. Great
complaints are made of the unintelligibility of the
statements issued by the Mexican committee.
Exception is more especially taken to the mode
in which the figures relating to the customs
receipts at the several ports, and to the
different accounts in which the bondholders

have become mixed up, are rendered, the bond-
holders Complaining that it is utterly impos-
sible for them to tell how their affairs are going
from the meagre, and it would even appear, studi-
ously ambiguous statements put forth. On bond-
holders residing in the country, and on others who
are unable to dance attendance in the City whenever
news is afloat affecting their interests, this state of
things inflicts a great hardship. It is stated that the
Messrs. Baring. have upwards of 100,000 dole. in
hand towards the payment of the July dividend. If
this be so, the creditors ought certainly to be informed
of it, as the chief point of anxiety is the question as
to how much is really available for dividend
purposes. In this department generally the settle-
ment of the account, which has fairly commenced,
does not excite great attention, the dealings having
been restricted. On Mexican the contango was
1-32 to 3-32, and on Turkish scrip 1-16 to 3-16. The
list of sales is annexed:—Danish Five per Cents,
108. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 661 ex
div. • ditto Four per Cent. Certificates, 981: Ecuador
Bonds, 51. Granada Deferred, 121. Mexican Three
per Cents., 231, 1. Peruvian Six per Cents., 103 ;
ditto Deferred Three per Cents., 631. Portuguese
Four per Cents., 401. Russian Four-and-a-Half per
Cents., 104,1031 ex div. Sardinian Five per Cents.,
951. Spanish Old Three per Cents., 481, ex div.;
ditto New Deferred Three per Cents., 231 ex div. •
the Committee's Certifs., 41, 41 per cent. Swedish
Mortgage Loan, 1/ die.
Gold tokens are already being coined in Adelaide
of the respective values of 65., 205., and 61. each.
These tokens, which are already in circulation, being
a legal tender, are coined out of standard gold of 27
carats, valued at 31. lls. per ounce. The mechanical
appliances in use appear to be sufficiently rude, the
tokens being cut out and stamped in a press for-
merly used for punching boiler plates, and the
metal being rolled in a small pair of 2-inch rollers,
used by jewellers for getting up trinkets. More
effective machinery is now being. set up at the Ade-
laide Assay-office, when a superior article will be
turned out; but, considering the difficulties to be
contended with, these tokens, several of which were
shown in the City this afternoon, and excited much
interest, are really well executed.
The Great Western Railway Company of Canada
have recently offered to their proprietary a new issue
of shares and bonds to the amount of 360,0001. It is
already announced that these shares have been rea-
dily taken up by the stockholders in this country.
This new issue Nee= to have been called for chiefly
by the anticipation of a large increase of traffic,
thereby rendering it indispensable that the works
should be constructed at once for a double line of
rails, instead of a single track, as was originally in-
tended. It appears the government offered to ad-
vance the money proposed to be raised in terms of
the Company's Act, but as the shares and bonds of
the company are now at a premium, it was deemed
only proper to give the existing shareholders the
opportunity, in the first instance, of taking up
the new issue in rateable proportions at par.
This was continuation day in the railway market,
and the gold mining shares' settling is also in pro-
gress. Generally there is less pressure for money in
the house than on the occasion of the last settlement,
and the rates of contango on railway chores are sen-
sibly lighter, owing to a considerable reduction of the
floating "bull" account. This afternoon, especially,
the dealers, who are still, as a body, oversold, took in
stock readily at a reduction from the rates of the
morning. the feeling in this market, however, was
decidedly unfavourable. The current rates of con-
tango may be quoted as under :
