FILIDAT ENICRINO.
The funds to-day were dull, and • decline of
per cent. was finally quoted, owing principally to
the languor of business. In the other departments
of the Stock Exchange there was an equal absence
of feature of interest. A slight reaction in French
railway shares, a further decline in these of the
Pernambuco Railway Company, and an increased
demand for Caledonian North British, and London
and North Western stocks—in the latter instance
owing to the continued hope of a speedy agreement
with the Great Northern
C.ompany—comprueabeo-
lately the only alterations worthy of notice in the
share markets.

Chartered Bank of Australia were firmer to-day,
whilst Western Bank of London were heavy. The
shares of the Discount Companies were more in-
quired for. Mediterranean Extension Telegraph

MINES.—Tars DAY.

Two o'CLocur.
The mining market to-day is rather quiet, but
shores in Wheal Basest, Wheal Trelawney, Wheal
Mary Ann, and Kelly Bray, are in demand. Ladr
Bertha shares have been dealt in at 11.
Foreign and colonial mining shams still meet with
little attention. Those of the General Mining Asso-
ciation (Nova Sootia) have been dealt in at 20.
Subjoined is our usual weekly report of the metal
market :

W7iii:ve had a miller quiet week for the most pert, but
no very great sotivity can now be expected this year. Copper
is in that peculiar poultice which is incidental to trade in
this metal. The manafacturers lave not declared an advance
fa prices, but they refine to sell excepting at the prices of
the day of delivery. Iron oontinute fairly supported. and
we may expect to see prim hold their ground at least. Lead
