Consols have been quoted all day 97 to 1, both
for money and the 12th inst. The official business
figures are ns follows :—Three per Cent. Consols,
971, ; ditto fur account, 971 ; Three per Cent.
Reduced, 967:, 97 ; New Three-and-a-Quarter per

India Stuck, 2621, 264; Bank Stock, 211.
Exchequer Bills meet with less demand, and
sellers are more willing to realise than last week.
The consequence is a further reduction of Is. in
the rate of premium, making a total reaction
of 25., as compared with the top range lately estab-
lished. Exchequer Bills rule at 525. to :61s. prem.,
and India Bonds at .)7s. to 60s. prem.
There has a sprinkling of transactions in several
descriptions of foreign stocks, but no considerable
movement in ally. The intelligence by the Asia is of
more than the usual interest to the British creditors
of foreign states, as the details from various quarters
ntket the holders of Mexican, Buenos Ayrean, Chilian j
and Brazilian, besides others. The movement in
Venezuelan Bonds continues, and they have to-day
been bought as high us :fill, whilst the Deferred] )ebt
has reached 12 :. Iu other descriptions there is as yet
not much actual alteration, though Mexican are a gain a
shade lower, but the dealers are looking for further
details. The business list embraces: Chilian Six per
Cents., 103. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 581 ;
ditto Four per Cent., Certificates, 891. Mexican, 251;

MINES.

From the Daily Nests.

SATURDAY EVENING.
There has been a good business in mining shares
during the week, and generally the market wears a
healthy appearaucc, though there has been sonic
little fluctuation. Dividend mines, with the present
abundance of money, continue in flivour. In West
Providence shares a good deal of movement has taken
place, and in Merllyu and Garregs there have also
been a good many transactions, the demand being
greater than the supply. For .Alfred Consols, how-
ever, the tendency is downward, and Tremaynes are
not quite so firm.
Although great attention is being given to the
bringing forward and development of home mining
adventure, the foreign projects lately started have
attrieted much notice, and geld mining, both in Cali-
fornia and Australia, is likely to receive a large share
of English capital. Indeed, the accounts of the yield
of the Californian quartz reeks arc so astounding
that a stimulus is imparted to enterprise, quite as a
matter of course. A great number of " companies,"
as they are called, though only in reality parties
of men numbering from five to fifty indi-
viduals each, are already working in various
parts of the quartz districts, and in many
cases realising extraordinary profits, though of
course they are destitute of the great advantages
arising from capital and superior mechanical means
such as will be possessed by the companies organising
here. Out of many instances of this kind of enter-
prise, the selection of one may be challenged, but we
would refer for an instance to the operations of the
Itocky Bar Mining Company, which has some work-
ings at Grass Valley, descrined as among the most
productive in California. By the last accounts the
MIRRORS of this company has induced them to com-
mence the erection of the most efficient machinery fur
crushing the quartz rock yet known in California,
but not before the locality had been sufficiently
tested by the extraction of gold from some tons of
the rock by machines previously in opera-
tion there. This company has a board of
directors in New York, where the greater part
of the stock is also held, and its proprietary seems to
include a larger number of influential persons than
most of the Californian adventures. Its stock is con-
siderably above par. !Owing to the quartz crushing
presenting the requisite anvantages for the opera-
tions of the capitalist, it appears likely that so soon
as the pressure in the money markets at the other
side has passed off, a good many schemes will spring
up iu the great commercial cities of the United
States, with precisely similar objects to those started
here, which will not be permitted to have all the
ground to themselves.
