San Francisco, SATURDAY MORNING., !
January 9th, 1866.
During the past year the receipts OF UNI
coined gold and silver in this city through
regular channels were as follows: From
California, S25,957, $50; Nevada, including
Reese River, Sl5, SOC, 900; Idaho, Cariboo,
Fraser River, ETC., Sc, 9iS ,5ll-in all, SiS,-
105,5ll. To arrive at the probable bullion
product Of the Coast, it is proper to add at
least 20 per cent. to these figures for Califor-
MIA, to allow for receipts in private hands.
From the North coast fully 40 per cent. should
be added, for the reason that u much larger
amount Of treasure in private hands is re-
ceived from Portland and Victoria than from
any other mining region tributary to this
city. All the bullion sent hither from Ne
vada arrives by public carriers. In making
the additions alluded to, it will be found that
the total product the past year amounted to
$50, 67S $40, and that California produced
S3l, las, 300, as against S2S,4OO,0OO in 1861.
The yield Of Nevada last year was just about
the same as IN 1864; and that OF the North
coast say 50, 3, 900 in 1865, as against about
Sl0,0 O0, 900 in the preceding year.
In glancing briefly at a review OF the Share
market for the past twelve months, it may
be noted that until about the close OF April
last nearly all leading stocks had been well
maintained at higher quotations than were
ruling at the beginning Of the year; but Mt
the former date, owing to the diminished pro-
ductiyeness Of nearly every claim on the
Comstock, and the unfayorable financial con-
dition OF certain companies, n serious depres.
sion took place throughout the months OF
MAY and June. A rather better feeling was
~insuguratcd in July, and during the ensuing
months of August and September, no very
violent fluctuations were witnessed, and con-
fdence seemed to be ~mcasurably restored.
Early in October symptoms Of a decline were
again apparent, aud the market soon became
under the influence Of n panic, which con-
tinued without much abatement until the
middle Of December, every share on the list
touching the lowest point reached for 4 long
time. Since then the Comstock lode has
given evidence Of more permanency, and a
| number Of mines have materially improved.
| The yield OF bullion has increased, and there
is now = fair prospect that the debts OF sew
eral companies will soon be materially re-
duced without the aid Of any further assess
ments. During the past week the market has
exhibited less strength, and some fluctuations
have occurred in the more prominent shares.
