For the Week Ending Juno Ii, 1873.
A general depression has ruled In
stocks during the week. with no very
lively reviving signs at the close.
Whether there will he any greater rise
In stocks than there has been. remains
to be seen. yet II there Is not, let no

consists In the fact that although
money seems to have been aud still Il
plenty enough for mercantile purposes,
yet for mining Investments 1t retains
an uncomfortable and embarrassing
s~tringency. There Is plenty Of time
vet for a considerable rise this season.
