The Bank of France have reduced the rate for
advances upon stock from 6 to 5i per cent. but
this has not arrested the decline in prices on the
Bourse.
The official return of the exports of the precious
Metals from the port of London for the week
ending Thursday last is as follows

There has been an active demand for money
during the last two or three days, and there is not
likely to be much diminution until the 4th of the
month has past.
About 13,0001. in bar gold was taken from the
13ank of England yesterday.

The official returns relative to the Trade and
Navigation of the United Kingdom for the six
Months ending the 30th June, 1857, have been
published. From these, it appears, that the total
declared value of the exports from the United King-
dom was 60,826,3811., against 53,968,4161. for the
same period of 1856, being an increase of 6,857,9651.
The increase is perceptible in beer and ale, coals
and culm, cotton manufactures, earthenware,
haberdashery and millinery, hardware and cutlery,
linen, yarn, machinery, silk manufactures, Bri-
tish spirits, and woollen manufactures. The im-
portations have also generally increased.
The
market for Public Securities opened steadily
at about yesterday's closing quotations, and there
has since been no variation of importance. The
favourable Bank return has given seine support to
values, but the anxiety with regard to the Indian
nilenrs prevents buoyancy. Consols have been
1 y for money, and 91i for account. The
New Three per Cents. are 91 92, and the Reduced
21fi I. India Stock is 214 to 2161. Exchequer
sills continue depressed, being 7s. to 4s. discount.
Foreign Stocks have not attracted much atten-
tion. Turkish 6 per Cents. are flat at 941 95, and
the 4 per Cent. Guaranteed 102 k. Spanish 3 per

MINES.—The aspect of the mining share market has
improved. Tin has risen altogether 101. per ton, as we
thought it would ; and we dare to say that it will not be
long before there is an advance in copper. An improve
went at Sortridge Consols, going west, a point of the
greatest importance to this mine, the ore hitherto being
east, towards North Robert, caused a demand, and
shares rose 1/. each (12,0001 ) on Monday, and they left
El after a good business, at 21 to 2 : other mines in the
district are creating more attention ; Devon Con-ols 435
to 445. In East Russell a considerable business has
been done at 30 to 35., the price leaving off at 308. to
328 6d.i; this mine is looking better, and if the bottom
levels are extended east, a good mine may be opened.
Dolcoath shares are in demand at 300, and no sellers.
-Passets are inquired for at low prices, 220 to 230 ;
South Frances flat, at 285 to 210 ; West Basset, 27 to
28 ; the two-monthly dividend, 4,500/., or 15s. per share
das declared on Wednesday.—Mining Journal of this

NEW REMEDY FOR THE GRAPE BLIGHT.—The
.10urnal d'Agriculture prutique states that in 1855, a
v!cb-grower of the department of L'Hdrault found his
vineyard infested with snails. He cleared most of the
Apes of these unwelcome visitors, but six ridges were
sa° covered with them that he gave up the task in
7spair. The snails devoured all the leaves, leaving
the grapes untouched. Soon after, the oidiura wade
its
aPPsarance and, strange to say, the only vines
that were not attacked with it were those that were
stripped of their leaves. Seeing this unexpected result,
" vine-grower in the following year stripped about a
itiundred vines by way of experiment, and found that
heY produced three times more grapes than the rest,
which were partly attac'_,ed with the blight. Experi-
t4l4 thut'i on a larger scale are now in proarcso to asoer-
e efficacy of this method.
