From a careful calculation the directors estien'Ae
that it will not be necessary to call up more than
20s. par share. This company has been formed for
the purchase and working of those celebrated mines
Which are situate in the Province of Anticquia, New
Grenada. The "Frontino" is .said on reliable
authority to contain several lodes of ore, only one

services to the St. John del Rey Company were
BO eminently successful, and so often born testi-
mony to by the directors of that company. The
management of the Frontino and Bolivia mines
has been entrusted to Captain Goyen, and the di-
rectors have every confidence in a satisfactory
Commercial result from the operations of their
company, and they announce that the preliminary
changes will be made previous to allotment.

The general condition of the market for the
English Funds is favourable so far as regards the
steadiness of prices, but there is very little business,
and a degree of dulness is consequently apparent.
The recent arrivals of gold and silver, the moderate
export demand for both metals, the abundance of
money, and the expectation of lower rates of dis-
count, have all assisted in imparting firmness to
values, and additional re'def has been afforded by
the general chaeacter of the advices from the Con-
tinent, which have induced a more hopeful feeling.
Consols are 91f 3 for money, and 911 for the account.
The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 891 i;
Exchequer Bills, par to ss. dis.; India 5 per Cents.,
104/ Q; ditto Enfaced 5 per Cents., 104, 106; and

Market, but the tendency of values has continued
favourable. The highest range of prices has not
been fully maintained. Mexican have been 444 I,
