The silver market is very dull and the quota-
tions rather tend downwards. Until the next
Overland Mail is announced the bullion brokers
are not likely to transact much business, and as
very few purchases are made on the Continent,
nin,t of any gold supplies that may be received from
itaerica or Australia will be sent to the Bank.
Since the date of the last Bank of England re-
turn the •sales of bullion to the authorities, includ-
ing 32,0001. yesterday, have represented fully
600,0001., and assuming .that no withdrawals have
occurred, the total amount of the precious metals
in their. vaults must now exceed eleven millions
• and three quarters • sterling, which is a larger
aggregate than for some weeks past. If the demand
• for- money should subside, and the bi-monthly
shipments not exceed that recorded above, a reduc-
tion in the minimum to 5 per cent. would be ensured.
An impression prevailed-in some quarters that the
rate would be loweied to-day, but the Directors se-
Nrated without announcing any alteration, and in
the Discount market, where there is an active de-
laand, the full charge of 51- per cent. is exacted.
The inquiry is not more urgent, however, than is
11'nal on the day preceding the 4th of the month,
When a large mass of commercial bills arrives at
Maturity.
The amount of dividends declared, on Mining
Shares, 'during the month of August, was 26,1641.,
and the railway calls in the same period were
111,000/,
The meeting of the Tincroft Mining Company was
held to-day, at which the accounts for the four
months were presented, during which time the sales
tiu and copper amounted to 8,010/. 10s. 3d. The
:lance of profit was 1,0351. 7s. ld., which was
arried forward.
, A. decline of per cent. has occurred in the mar-
ket for English Stocks to-day, but the transactions
aret limited and the quotations generally appear
beadY. The settlement of the mcount is now '
the
to operate, and during the next week
e market will be principally governed by the
,necessary arrangements. Consols for money and
the 9th inst. have been 90a- 7, and for October
about 91 sellers. The New Three per Cents. are
