The weekly return of the Bank of Franco shows
the following changes:

Coin and Million
Bills discounted Decease 720,000
Notes in circulation
Private deposits
Advances .
Treasury balance
The coin and bullion are again increasing, and the
total is now 38,176,500/. The diminution in the
discounts argues a dull condition of trade.
The return of the Bank of England for the week
ending Wednesday, Nov. 20, compared with that for
the previous week, shows the following changes :
Circulation issue 236,087,615 Decrease 262,700

The deposits, on balance, showing an increase, and
the advances on securities being almost stationary,
an addition of nearly a quarter of amillion has been
made to the reserve. The diminution in the coin
and bullion is only 2,578 i., and, as the amount of
gold taken from the Bank for export during the
week exceeded the receipts from abroad by about
130,000/ , it is to be inferred that coin is returning
from the provinces. The present figures do not
indicate any revival of the Bank's discount and
loan business.

NINEB.-(TEIM DAY.)

Oxa O'CLOCK.

The mining market is rather firmer to-day,
owing to the advance yesterday in the standard for
copper ore. Subjoined are the quotations for the
shares which have been chiefly dealt in. viz.
(.1,;,-,?rton Moor, 51 to 61 ; Prince of Wales, 495.
to 515., ox ; Ye:lh Crofty, 2g to 3 : New Seton,
30 to 55 ; Great Retallack, ; West eliiver-
ton, 69 to 71 ; North Chiverton, 42 to ; East
Lovell, 8 to it : Wheal Seton, 97 ii to 1)1:1 ; and
Great Vor, 17} to 18.
Foreign and colonial mining shares are quoted
about the same as yesterday. St. John del Rey are
at 59 to 61 ; Don Pedro, 2 to 21 prem.; Anglo-
Brazilian, par to 1 prem. ; Pestarena, Fir to
prem. ; Chontales, 11 to 1 dig. ; Roma Crantle,
; Anglo-ltalian, 1 to 1 prem.; United Mexican.
11 to ; Frontino and Bolivia, /to 4 ; Port
Phillip. 1 3-16 to 5-16 ; and Central American,
gto die.
The Chontales Gold and Silver Mining Com-
pany have received advice. by the Douro from
Nicaragua. It is mentioned that the general state
of the mines is the same as last reported. No case
of cholera had occurred since the 29th of Sept. It
was hoped, therefore, that the disease was passing
away. No remittance of gold has been received,
as it was thought better not to break upthe " cups"
for September; but it is stated that the next re-
mittance will be proportionately increased.
At the sale of copper ore, held in Cornwall yes-
terday, an advance of 21. Bs. took place in the
standard.

Poarsmorrm, Nov. 22.—Her Majesty's Indian
troop ships Crocodile and Sera* arrived at Spithead this
