I.ne absence of business, and the withdrawal of gold
from the Bank on Saturday, have rather adversely
affected the English Funds, which are * lower. Tho
corn market, though the late reduction is maintained,
has proved itself somewhat firm ; and this circuin-
stance has contributed to the downward tendency.
The railway market, on the other hand, is firm, except
for Great Northern Stocks ; and the demand for
Telegraph shares is as active as ever, at a further ad-
vance. Foreign stocks are generally firm, especially
Peruvian ; but Spanish have again fallen, owing to
the increasing political and financial disorganisation of
the country.

'Toe, 2nd division of June, 11 days. 3,440 Oitavas
Yield 1,915 Oitavas per ton. Garia Produce, 754
Oitavas yield 2,673 Oitavas per ton. Corpus
Christi and St. John's Day having been observed
a,4 holidays have interfered with the general work
nuring the fortnight."
a The report of the Don Pedro North del Rey Mines
LO July 2, states that the produce cleared to date was
15,339 oitavas. The estimated produce for the month
Was about 18,000 oitavas.
The following is from the Anglo-Brazilian Gold
eimupany :—Mr. Symons reports (under date July 2)
!--The operations in the mine since my last lave not proceeded so regularly as usual, owing
'0 the Midsummer holidays, and the duty
in consequence has not been equal to that for the first
half of the month. But even so the samples and
appearance of sand at the wash-house lead us to hope
for a fair produce. No change worthy of special
remark has occurred in the features of the lodes at the
various points in progress. A small quantity of stone
quarried in the Mina de Bari! has been stamped ; but
the sand treated to date is insufficient to enable
113 to form an estimate of its auriferous quality.
