Respecting the movements in Mines during the
werlothe Mining Journal of to day states-
Mines are particularly active; and this week, while the
news from America, of Beek failures and mercantile diffi-
cult' es, has caused an advance in discounts, an! a general
fall in stocks and shares, great excitement has been shown
in the Mining Market, and business more than usually
brisk. East Basset 110 to 120, Basset 210, South Frances

The impel is of specie during the week amounted
to about 500,0001-viz., by the Belgium, from
Ostend, 48 epees silver bars; the Uncowab, from
Mazatlan, 1 box specie ; the Tagus, from the
Mediterranean, 1,9431; the Andes, from Constanti-
nople, 1,0001; the Sierie, from Boulogne, 30 cases
bullion ; the Indus, from the Mediterranean, 6,8261,
and Australian gold, 319,547 i; the Rhine, from
Boulogne, 11 boxes bulliou ; the Baron Osy, from
Antwerp, 26 cases bullion, 1 case specie ; the
Candace, from Africa, 3,000 ozs. gold, or 12,000/ ;
and the Persia, from New York, 2001.

The exports have been moderate,-ablut 200,0001
—viz . by the Alhambra for the Mediterranean,
96,0001 ; the Atrato for the West Indies, 3 6701. ;
the Colombo for the East Indies, &c., 594 485/,
of which 34 7801. was in cold, and the rest silver.
divided as follows :—Mauritius 269/. ; Ceylon
4,1001..; Bombay 128,6401 ; Madras 29 5291.; Ca!-
cotta 247,552/. ; Penang 1,950/. ; Singapore 88,057/. ;
Hong Kong 62,388'.; and Shanghai 32.0001.; the
Grenada for the Mediterranean, 37,0001.

The official returns of the precious metals from
the port of London for the week ending 2nd Oct.
show a total of 59,230 oza. of gold, and 21,800 ozs•
of silver.
Notwithstanding the impression that future
remittances to India will comprise a larger amount
of gold in the place of silver, the quotations for the
metal have been maintained ; the demand is
active, and steady supplies from Boulogne and
Antwerp are still announced. During the
last few days the transactions have been
limited, as the dealers have naturally preferred
waiting till the overland advices were received,
and if they should report no sensible variation
in the position of monetary affairs in Calcutta
or Bombay, the next shiament of specie—viz, on
the 20th—will probably not exceed the late average.
Annexed are the current quotations in the bullion
market:—Bar gold, 77s 9d per oz. standard ;
United States gold coin, 76s 21d to 77s 3d per oz
Bar silver, 5s 11 Ito 53 2d per oz. standard firm ;
and five-franc pieces, 5s per oz. About 56,0001 of

.
the Australian gold conveyed by the Indus was
sent into the Bank on Friday, but to-day 60;600
has beec withdrawn for transmission to the Con-
tinent. During the fortnight ending yesterday the
amount of hills drawn by the Hon. East India
Company on the three presidencies was 29091 17s
10.1. In the preceding fortnight the total was
34,502/ 19s ld.
There has not been much animation in the
London Produce Markets throughout the week.
Sugar has been in limited I.( quest, and as the im-
porters have been anxious to realize, common and
middling qualities have declined 6d to is per cwt.
The stock of this article at some of the chief
markets of Europe, on the Ist inst , was 53,361 tons,
against 26,823 tons at the corresponding period of
1856. Coffee has also been at lower quotations, and
the reduction since last week has been fully Is to
2s per cwt. Very little disposition to purchase has
been evinced, and operations are confined to imme-
diate wants. Cocoa has been dull, but as holders
are firm, the prices are maintained. Rice has been
quieter, and is rather lower. Rum is dull, and Tea
remains inactive. Saltpetre has declined 6s to 8s
During the past week there has been little
alteration to report in the Leeds Woollen trade.
Several buyers were in the town, but their opera-
tions only extended to immediate requirements.
The unfavourable accounts from America had
exercised a very depressing influence upon the
market At Bradford business had been inactive,
but prises remained firm, the high prices of the
raw material still producing a prejudicial influence
in trade generall-y. The market at Manchester
had been active, and rather higher rates have been

current, but buyers, owing to the lee advance by
the Bank of England in the rate of discount, were
acting very cautiously.
The commercial advices by the Persia are im
portant. The
,representatives of the New
York City Banks had held a mee'ing. which
resulted in a recommendation that each bank, so
far as able, should increase its discount line three
per cent. upon its present limit. Thi3 will afford a
sensible relief to the business community—as the
aggregate increase of loans will be $2,500 000 to
$5.000,000, after making allowance for a few banks
which cannot pru lowly expand. This, to be sure,
says the Ntw York Journal.of Commerce,
It; but a small per ventage upon the aggregate amount of
contraction within a few weeks past, but whereas the
screws have hitharto been turned tighter and tighter, this
movement will relax them, and bring men to feel that there
is at last a pause to the contraction. We have no doubt
that our Banks are entirely able to afford this relief, con-
sistently with their own safety, especially as specie is
about to flow into them from the Sub-Treasury, from
Europe, from California, and elsewhere. Tae indications
are tbat the worst is over, as far es this city is concerned,
though there is a long account to settte with the West and

North wee, where the preskure will yet be more intense
than it is now, or has hitherto been. Increasing confidence
is felt that the great body of the New England Banks will
be ab'e to sustain themselves. A good understanding
exists between New York aril Boston on this head. They
will encturage and co-operate with each other for the c )m-
-mon gaol.
Wht n the Persia sailed the current money notes
were 2 to 3 per cent. a month on prime paper, and
5 per cent. and upwards on second class notes.
There was, however, a better feeling in the market,
consequent upon the movement of the City Banks
Exchange on London had declined to 104 to 106 k.
The Cotton Market remained inactive, and prices
were nominally unchanged. The Stock was re-
duced to a very low figure, and there was no
disposition on the part of holders to real*. The
Breadstuff trade was very dull, and prices'of Flour
were 50 to (I 0 cents: per barrel, and 15 to 20 cents.
and 10 to 15 cents tier bushel lower than when the
Baltic left. Fre4 hts were inactive.

The follow:ng are the Gazette average prices
