The silver market is very dull and the quota-
tions rather tend down wardis. Un'il the next
Overland Mail is announced the bullion brokers
are not likely to transact much busines-,, and as
very few purcliases are ►nad-4 on the Continent,
mo.-.t of any gold suppl'es that may l.e received from
America 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 authorit;es, includ-
ing 32,0001. yesterday, have represented fully
600,0001., and assumin; that no withdrawals have
occurrel, th-; thtal amount f 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-
tioninthe minimum to 5 per cent. would be ensured.
An impression prevailtd in some qua7ters that the
rate Would be lowered t)-day, but the Directors se-
parated without announcing any alteration, and in
the. Discount market, where there is an active de-
mand, the full charge of 51 per cent. is exacted.
The inquiry is not more urgent, however, than is
usual on the day preceding the 4th of the month,
When a large mass of commercial bills arrives at
ralturity.
The amount of dividends declared, on Mining
Shares, during the mouth 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
1110/ails were presented, during which time the sales
Of tin and copper amounted to 8,0101. 10s. 3d, The
balance of profit was 1,0351. 7s. ld., which was
carried forward.

A. decline of per cent. has occurred in the mar-
ket for English Stocks to-day, but the transactions
are limited and the quotations generally appear
,i/teaclY• The settlement of the account is now
ueginning to operate, and during the next week
the market will be principally governed by the
laecessary arrangements. Consols for money and
the 9th inst. have been 90i and for October
about 91 sellers. Tire New Three per Cents. are
