Only a limited amount of bat ms has been done
this morning in British miningialliiim and there is
little change in prices. The ensiasetions have been
strictly confined to shame in Condurrow, East
Caradou, Rosewarne United, Alfred Console, Pro-
vidence, and Stray Park mines.
Foreign and colonial mining shares are ually
inactive. The only business officially reooeded in
the Stock Exchange is in English and Australian
Copper, at 21.
At Wheal Edward meeting yesterday, the accounts showed
a debit balance of 590 f. fle. Id. A call of Is. per share wee
made.

From South Condurrow sine, the agent writes :—" We
have had a sample assayed of the ore taken from the kide b.
the engine shaft, which has produced 31 per cent of eMPW
and at the present standard would realise upwards of 40f:
per ton."
The Central American Kitting Company (Limited) have
received letters from their superintendent, dated
peque, July 2, in which, after stating that there was •
peat want of labourers, imessioned by the backwardness of
the tillage operations, he sup : " I am truly pleased to be
able to communieste the sled sew of a discovery of (silver)
ore in the two winos, now being esak art sad wed of Car.
noble shaft in San Pa:italics Was and linger Dolores level,
and most heartily do I eassystalate the directors on the
new and cheering prospects bees opened up. The are
branches as seen by myself three days since measured sto
6 inches in width in both wines*, and both are improving
in depth." The 10 fathom level from Cornubia
shaft presents tune indications, and is orey throughout.
" Having encountered the ore ground in our new 10 fathom
level, it will be seen on referring to the section that we have ore-
ground going down in extent corresponding to Guerra's stops,
and still further to the east we must fall in with the extension
downwards of all that rich ground from which the ore Na.
limed in England has bean chiefly extracted." The dopes Is
the eastern ground continue to produce goood ore. 435 bags
.1 silver ore (31 tons) were sent to the coast, in June, for
shipment to England. 163 bags of silver ore have arrived
at Southampton by this packet.

MONEY MARKET.-THA

DAL

TWO O'CLOCK.

Although the expectation that the Indian
loan of 3,000,0001. will not be issued for some
time to come is confirmed by the tenor of
the explanations given in the House of
Commons last night, the funds to-day
are heavy. Consols have declined about it per cent.
The fortnightly settlement in shares and foreign
stocks has commenced to-day, and principally oct.,c
pies the attention of the members of the Stock
Exchange. Prices in the share markets exhibit no
general alteration of huporteuice.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Relates were
quoted 67.85, being sc. lower than yesterday.
The Indian Five per Cent- stock of 1859 is
firmer. Transactions are reported for money at
1031 to 1041.

Consols ero officially marked 934, 1, and
93 for money, and 931 for the account.
The present quotations are 93 to for
money, and 931 " sellers," for the 6th of
September. The official business report is as
follows :—Bank Stock, 2301 ; Three per Cents. Re-
duced, 931, 1 ; New Three per Cents, 931,
1, ; India Stook, 219, 21%; ditto Five
per Cent. Stock, 1869, 101, 1031, 1041 ; ditto
Bonds, Ws. die. ; Five-and-a-Half per Cent. "en-
faced" rupee paper, 1021 ; Exchequer Bills, 3e. to
61. prem. . . _

The foreign stock market is quiet, with
little change in prices. The Turkish Loan
of 1854 remains dull, at 74 to 7d, and
that of 1858, at 64 to 81. Yesterday's
advance in the Spanish Coupon Certificates
is fairly supported. Sales are recorded as fol-
lows :—Brarilian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1852,
871; New Granada Active, 15 ; Portuguese Three
per Cents., 1853, 441 ; Russian Four-and-a-Half
per Cents., 94,1 ; Sardinian Five per Cents., 831 ;
the Spanish Committee's Certificates, 52, d ;
Turkish Six per Cents., 1858, 60k.

Foos o'CLoci.

Consols exhibit a fractional improvement com-
pared with the prices at 2 o'clock, being now
quoted 931 to 1 for money, and 93} for the
a x:ount.

An instalment of 8 per cent. falls due on the
Canada Loan of 2,800,0001. on Thursday next, but
has been principally met in advance.
The decree published in the Meniteur, whereby
the interest on Treasury bills is fixed at the low
rate of 1* per cent. up to five months, and 2 per
cent. up to twelve months, affords an indication of
the magnitude of the amount of capital which is
kept idle in France by political distrust.
At Vienna on Saturday the Austrian funds fell
to 1 per cent., and the exchange on London rube
from 127.25 to 129.
No bullion was taken from the Bank yesterday, the
demand for the Continent having slackened, owing
to the firmness of the exchanges.
The telegrams from Liverpool yesterday report
sales of cotton to the extent of 15,000 bales. The
market is described as firm, and in some instances
id. above last Friday's rates.
Transactions took place yesterday at the price of
21 dole. for every 5 dohs. in the " Cancelled Bonds
scrip" of the Illinois Central Railway Company.
This scrip was issued to represent the Construction
Bonds which have been cancelled by means of the
proceeds of sales of land.
An extraordinary meeting of the Made Railway
Company is called for the 29th inst., to authorise
the directors, under the sanction of the Secretary
of State for India in Council, to raise a further stun
of 83,000!. by the issue of debentures convertible
into stock. _ . .

W
Friday next has been appointed a special settling
day in the shares of the Muswell-hill Land Com-
mny (limited). The shares are not to be quoted
the official list, the Stock Exchange rules re-
quiring that two-thirds of the total capital be
allotted amongst the public. As the vendors in
the present instance take one-half of the total num-
ber of shares in the undertaking, this requirement
cannot be complied with.
The Stock Exchange Committee have authorised
the bonds of the Atlantic and St. Lawrence Rail-
way Company to be quoted in the semi-weekly list.
The prospectus of the Natioual Freehold Ceme-
tery Company (limited) is honied, with a proposed
capital of 125,0001., in 6/. :shares. The company

acres, ten miles from London, on the Tilbury Rail-
way. Reference is made to the already overcrowded
state of the cemeteries in the eastern portion of the
metropolis. It is provided that shareholders who
may wish to discontinue the payment of future calls
may, by giving 15 days' notice prior to an instal-
ment becoming due, consolidate into St shares two
or more shares upon which 50s. or upwards each
have been previously paid, such privilege to termi-
nate at the end of moutns nuai sue
scription. The first 10,000 shares are to partake
of the character of a freehold land warrant.
The Cheshire Patent Salt Company (limited)
announce the closing of their subscription list for
Saturday, the 25th inst. The capital is 30,0001. in
shares of 21. each. The object of the company is to
bring into operation sonic inventions recently pa-
tented by Messrs. Jump and Hall, whereby it is stated,
" the fuel (the great expense in the manufacture) is
economised upwards of one-third, and the best
stoved salt, butter salt, and coarse common salt,
are all produced by one action instead of separately,
as at present."
A call of 2!. 10s. per share is to be paid by the
contributories of the Chester Music-hall Company
by the 27th instant.
Mr. Edmond Iluvelot, leather factor, of Billiter-
