SAN FRANCISCO,

demand continues active upon prime pa.
per and other frst-class securities. at l@
II IF cent. per month. Little or no dif-
hculty is experienced in mercantile circles
in obtaining all the facilities required for
legitimate business purposes, and the mer-
chants generally are in a sound and
healthy condition. There is considerable
doing in realestate, and an unusually large
number Of frst-class improvements are
vigorously under way in different portions
Of the city. For these purposes money is
readily obtainable at low rates OF interest.
Receipts Of treasure from the interior
are about to the usual average, and during
the current month amounted to some
$4,000, 900. The Sub Treasurer, in this
city, shipped East, on Government ac-
count, 100000, by the steamer St. Louis,
making an aggregate Of SS,6oO,oOO thu
far since Janury LIST.
Bullion is meeting with rather more In
curry, and it is believed that important
shipments Of silver bars will be made to
China by the two vessels now loading at
this port. Gold bars are a shade better at
S4o@s45, and silver is quotable at about
Ii If cent. discount for round lots.
Currency bills on the Atlantic cities are

selling at 2t ~ cent. premium, and tele-
graphic transfers are made at 8 IF cent.

The Mining Share Market has continued
in a very inactive condition during the Pc
Rod under review. This fiat and DOR
mant state OF the market has prevailed
for a month or more past, and recent de-
velopments in the great Comstock lode
have not, to any degree, added buoyancy
to the market. Operations are steadily
and vigorously prosecuted on nearly all
claims now quoted in the Board, and an
improvement, it is hoped, will NANTES,
itself before many weeks. Lack OF &C
commodations in the money market may,
to a great extent, be cited as a cause fol-
restricted speculative transactions and,
as for permanent investment IN this class
of securities, the market may be said to
be bare. The sales in the Board, with few
exceptions, are now confined to shares o.
companies located on the Comstock vein,
The frmness with which Hale & Nor.
cross is held is a sure indication Of the
usual steady yield Of this mine. No sales
have been made in the Board during tht
past month. We quote it at Sl,So0

ed to its full capacity for some time past
partly on account of the scarcity of teams
to remove the metal and the crowded stat
of the company's ore houses. Little orr
has been extracted from the richest
breasts. The 4th and 9th stations Of thii
mine have improved materially during th'
week ending Sept. 22d, producing mor'
and a better quality Of ore. The yielc

at a distance of 200 feet south from TIL
south face Of the sixth station. During
the week ending Sept. 22d, S24 tons Of or,
were extracted, the estimate value o

profits stated in our last issue were the re
suit Of only four days work.
Crown Point remains quiet, changing
hands at SS70@9oo. seller 80, and at tn,
close is quoted atSS75. Good ore ha
been found in the 400 foot station-lowe
level-with fair prospects Of an improve
ment in the quality by further develop
ments. The estimated yield Of bullion 70
the present month may be stated at abou
Sll0.0 900. The receipts of bullion to tn,
25th have been $4,000. During tn
week ending Sept. Esd, 642 tons Of second
class and s tons of first-class ore hav,
been raised from the mine.
Gould & Curry shows a slight improve
ment, without any special inquiry only
few feet were sold during the past week

closing at S6l0. asked. The search afte
increased deposits Of ore have not, up 4
this time, proved successful; otherwis,
the mine remains in good condition.
Yellow Jacket has been largely dealt II
during the past week, opening at 800
dropping to $685., rallying to $672 so
and closing yesterday at 1852. During

frst-class and 1854 tons Of second-clas
ore have been extracted from the mine
and the total yield Of bullion for this pc
Rod exceeded S62, 900.

in all the various stations, has been again
resumed, and so far no important devel.
opments have been made. In drifting

quartz, some Is inches wide, has been en-.
countered. This is considered q favora.

$S4, and selling yesterday at $s2. Dur

to supply their present reduction capacity
for Is months to come.
