The market for English Securities to-day has
been very quiet, but although the transactions have
been limited, they have been of a favourable charac•
ter, and the recovery in prices reported yesterday
afternoon has been well maintained. Consols
have been about 95 to 958 for money and,
account. The speculative operations are of a very
limited description, but while political affairs con-
tinue so unsettled any alteration in this respect
cannot be anticipated. Bank Stock has improved to
2241 ; the New 3 per Cents, are firm at 93.1. to 94 ;
but the Reduced are flat at 931 s ; Exchequer Bills
are marked 335. to 355. prem. ; and India Loan
Debentures, 964 97.
A moderato amount of business is recorded in
Foreign Securities, and prices remain without any
material alteration. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 861
to 87; ditto New Loan, 761 to 771; Venezuelan
Deferred are steady, at 171 ; Dutch 4 per Cents.
at 99 ; and Spanish Deferred, at 30Z. Brazilian
5 per Cents. are rather firmer, at 1001 a ; and
Russian 5 per Cents. at 111. _ _ _

The transactions in the Railway Share Market
have been of a very limited character, a slight im-
provement however has taken place in one or two
of the more speculative undertakings. Great
Northern, Lancashire, and Yorkshire, and North
Eastern (Berwick) improved 55., and North
Eastern, Leeds, and South Eastern, 10s. ; Cale-
donian and Manchester, Sheffield and Lincoln
declined 55.; North British, 10s., and Norfolk, £l.

The Foreign lines are very quiet. Lombardo
Venetian Old Shares realised 81 Bi, and the New

In the Colonial Market Great Western of Canada
have improved 55., and East India have declined
10s. ; Great Indian Peninsula are at previous rates.

Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous shares
show a downward tendency. London and County
have receded 10s. ; Ottoman Bank, 55.; London and
Westminster, ss. ; Red Sea Telegraph, 55., and
Royal Mail Steam, ss.

MINES.—Very little change has taken place in
the aspect of the Mining Share Market since our last,
though we have neither had the violent fluctuations nor
th'i large amount of business reported upon for some s
weeks.
past. The fortnightly settling of the account on Friday is
'understood to have gone off quite as satisfactorily as ex-
pected, but a large amount of stock, especially in East
Russell, has been " carried over" for the next settling.
These " account days," and the gambling transactions
they excite, seem to have become part and parcel of
the mining market, as they have always been of the Stock
Exchange ; and, consequently 2 the daily cor we might
say almost hourly) fluctuations in prices are the
more perplexing to the brokers. In the event of war—
though we sincerely trust such a calamity may be averted
----a great increase in mining business would probably ensue.
Metals would get up, and many persons would sell out of
foreign stocks and railways, and invest in sound progres •
sive and dividend mines. Even now there is a scarcity of
stock when any demand springs up; but this, it is to
be hoped, however much it may encourage promoters
of new schemes, will not induce speculators to embark
in any of them without thoroughly investigating their
prospects, as we have constantly advised by having
them inspected by responsible and independent agents.
South Frances shares have been in more request, 195 to
205. Basset also more dealt at 190 to 200. East Basset,
225 to 230, and a good business doing. South Basset, 132
to 142, and not quite so firm. West Seton, 395 to 405 ; at
the meeting, on Tuesday, the accounts showed a profit of
£2,818 2s. id. for the two months, and a dividend of £2.800
(£7 per share) was declared, leaving £lO4 is. 3d. in hand.
The ore for the credit of next account is £8,214 17s. 10d ,
and the mine looking very well indeed ; the ends in the
aggregate turning out 44 tons per fm., and the dopes and
winzes 64 tons,--.2llining Journal of this clay.
