A very formidable riot broke out among the miners

under his command. The Vice Prefect and several
other persons were wounded in this melee. During
the night OF October 7th the miners fired the general
storehOuses and other buildings Of the company in
that neghborhood, and by the next morning the
riot had assumed alarming proportions. On the
morning OF October Sth the miners in large force
attacked the forges OF the company, but the mill.
tary, who had meanwhile arrived on the ground,
charged upon them and at the same time used their
firearms. Ten OF the rioters killed outright, and

FINANCE AND COMMERCE..
OFFICE OF THE EVENING TErEeRApH,)
Satflrdav a 1850

curious fact has been revealed by the publlca-
ton Of the returns Of the British Board of Trade,
sury statistics show that we bought Of foreign
nations nearly S10O, ,OOO 600 In gold value than
we sold to them the returns Of the British British Board
authentic, indicate balance of trade with
the United Kingdom for the first half OF the current
year, to the amount of s42,000,00O in gold i'm our
favor. II these figures are correct, and there Is
to doubt their accuracy, they prove conclu-
sively that Great Britain is not only our best GUS
toner in taking one-third Of our entire annual
sales to foreign countries but is the most liberal
customer we have in consenting to pay us balance
annually OF over St00,000 900 in currency. Inasmuch
as the 'boot was always supposed to be on
the other limb" 1t is worth while to note the
countries of nearly $4,000 900 in gold s the result
of trading with other nations than Great Brltan
TO which amount Of course must be added the sur
plus paid us by England OF SS4, 900 600 in gold annu-
ally, and which is transferred to other countries.
He most mysterious element In these statistics
is the nOdttS OperdndT of remitting this large
amount OF gold to the United States, averaging over
one and a half millions weekly. We hear no accounts
of such arrivals but we are often informed Of the
shipment hence of United States bonds to pay sup
posed balances against us.
our local money market is moderately active aud
easy, but as yet there is little change in the rates
current for loans.
Gold is rather weak this morning. and the trans
actions are of commercial character entirely.
