FRIDAY Eirwrrpro.

With the exception of a temporary return of dull-
ness, the funds to-day were decidedly firmer in cha-
racter. Towards the close, especially, the market
evinced strength, leaving off 1 per cent. higher than
yesterday. The other departments of the Stock
Exchange were also stronger. The reports circu-
lated yesterday that an immediate appeal will be
made to the market by government for the means of
prosecuting the contest in India have been dissi-
pated. The amount of speculatively-held stock
has also been considerably reduced by the sobs of
the last few days, and a number of the weaker
holders have altogether closed their accounts. tinder
these circumstances, the funds showed more dis-
ptisition to respond to the favourable features in-
volved in a partial rally at Paris, the continued fall
in corn, and the anticipation of a highly favourable
Bank return. The dullness noticed at one period of
the day was partly attributed to a sale of stock by
the Court of Chancery.
After 4 o'clock a great rise took place in French
railway shares, in answer to the movement of the
l'aris Bourse, and buoyancy was thus imparted to
the other Stock Exchange markets, all of which
closed with a favouraVe appearance.
Consols, which were quoted at 4 o'clock yesterday
914 to for the 6th August, opened this morning at
91 13-16 to 4, relapsed for a short time to 914, and
closed firmly at 911 to Z, the pries for money being
at the same time (4 o'clock) 914 to 1. After
the close of the Stock Exchange the quotation
for the account was firm, at 91 13-16 to 4.
The official business report is as follows :
Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 914, 4,4, 4 ;
ditto, for account, 6th August, 911, 1, Three per
Cent. Reduced, 911, 0,, 4. New Three per Cents.,

FRIDAY Eviornis.

The market for British mining stocks has assumed
a stronger appearance, and business Is becoming
more active. This improvement is materially pro-
moted by the favourable appearance of the market
for tin (as referred to below), which has led to a
good demand fur the shares in the principal tin
mince, in many eases at advanced prices. Amongst
the general business we notice an improvement in
East Buss. shares. The following transactions
are reported to us from the Stock Exchange, in addi-
tion to those comprised in the official hid, viz.:—
Wheal Margaret, 61, 63 ; Wheal Kitty (Lelant), 19,
20, being better ; East Alfred, 21, 3 ; Alfred Consols,
17, 171; Lady Bertha, lls. 9d., 12a. 3d.; Great
Wheal Alfred, 71, 7Z. East llasset shares were
quoted better, and North Frances, North Basset, and
Wheal Edward rather lower.
