MONEY MARKET.

• SATURDAY BYRIDNO.
Much heaviness has prevailed in the English funds
to-day, and a very limited amount of business has
been done.
Console opened at 001, and after fluctuating
between that price and 901, they were last does at
901 for mosey and the account. The Three per
Cents Reduced were done at 891 and 891; and the
New Three-sad-a-Quarter per Coots were last done
at 901.
Bank Stock was done at 1921. India Stook at
2451 and 245. Exchequer Bills were dons at 495.
and 465. pram., and India Bonds at 71e. prem.
In the foreign securities the transactions were
fewer than velem observed for a InfitAlted. The
oflkial list gives the following quotations: Of the ac-
tual business done : Brazilian Bonds at, 781; Mexi-
can at 31 and 301 with coupeess, and atilt 281, and
281 ex coupons; Five per Cent. Spenlsh Actives at
16 and 17 ; French Fives at 88 fr . ; Exchange,
25 fr. 35 cents. ; and the Dutch Four per Cent. Cer-
till:Wes at 76.
In the discount market this week there is no mate-
riel alteration to report Money has been rather
more wanted for the last.day or two, but at no alter-
ation in the rate of interest.
We are happy to be able to report an improved
feeling in the markets for colonial produce this
week. In sugar the sales have been more animated,
and in the large sales of yesterday an advance was
established upon the
also
of last wed of about ls.
per cwt. Tea has also been in better demand, and
some descriptions of black may be quoted at an ad-
vance. In coffee there was more activity in the early
part if the week, and a tendency to higher rates was
apparent ; but though holders are firm, therd was not
more paid yesterday than the extreme rates previously
current. In ries and saltpetre there is no alteration.
The quarterly indigo ales which commenced on the
Bth inst. prooreded very satisfactorily ; up to this time
the quantity that has passed the sale is 5,943 chests, of
which 2,274 have been withdrawn, and only 511
bought in, making the actual quantity sold 3,158;
but we understand that very nearly 1,000 chests of
the portion withdrawn have since been sold by pri-
vate contract. The testes established an advance of
from 3d. to 4d. on Bengal descriptions; Madras par
to 2d. advance, and Keep& 2d. to 3d. advance tiniest
sale prices. The sales will be continued on Monday
and most probably terminate on Tuesday afternoon.
The accounts of the Java sugar sale held at Ratter-
,dam on the 10th inst. are an the whole more Nakao-
tory than had been looked for. We give the par-
ticulars as compared to the sale of 6th March kat, by
which it will be ems that an advance on several a-
scription, was established, which under present cir-
cumstances is satidectory.

of receiving the Copispo report late la week,
lielleme=sto give a summary of W gold and silver mines
of that . We find that at the AI Fin Relnela Silver
Mines, In down the lode which had been domed
it 31 vans, about 9 to 10 tons of silver ores
ware broken, estimated worth 6,0001. ; the lode
In the bottom and end was considered thee of a
either quality. The San Jam del Carmen is equally produc-
du, but the scarcity of water and labourers have retarded
the operations, lIINSIDUCh that the value of the produce can-
not be ascertained for a tints. In the Mates, Casten
Alto, and Loreto Mines the lodes are represented u being
rich and productive. The produce of the Al Fin Ballads
and San Jose del Carnes Mines for the month of February
to the oompany's proportion is about 7 tons deliver ore. In
the &pause mine, these lodes form a junction at about 30
fathoms in depth, where a bunch of gold ore is expected ;
from sow samples tried, a produce of 6 ounces in the ton
has been realised. The hiereeditos sad Santo Do
Mince are producing rich gold ores ; in the former, th:ia low
or veins, are from 2to 3 ft. wide, with very superior sam-
ples. Other setts, in which the company are more or less
interested, may be considered of groat importune. These
minas must prove a valuable aoqu iaatto the oompsa and
will, no doubt, place them in a robin eireseming dividends.
