City Stork Reports--Suw Francisca Stock and Exchange Bowe,
From the ‘* Weckly Stock Cireular’’ of the Associated Brokers.
Saw Franersco, Saturpay Mornine, August 12th, 1865.
Tbere is no appareat dimiautioa ia the amouat of capital offeriag
for loan purposes, hut the demand on such securities as the baokers
are williag to accept, is ligbter thao for some time past. Business
requirements are moderate, and good mercaatile paper passes readily
at 14%@1}4 # cent. per moath. The fluctuating character of many
of the stock collaterals offered iaduces continued caution on the part
of lenders, and more discrimination in tbe choice of aames, as well as
secnrities, Ia the open market accommodations are obtained at 11g@
236 4 ceat. per month.
The receipts of Treasare from the interior mining districts, during
the week, amounted to $1,200,000, makiag aa aggregate siace the lst
inst. of $2,250,000. ‘The yield of Nevada has shown aslight falliag
off since July 1st, as compared with a correspondiag period last year.
Transactions in Bullioa bave beea light siace last steamer-day, most
of the receipts having gone into the Mint. Returas from tbat establishmeat are now made promptly in about three days, and depositors
fiad it more profitable than to sell it at current market rates. Gold
Bars will realize ahout 850@860 in the Mint, aod at the present moment are bought hy dealers at 825@830. Silver Bars are ruliag at iy
% ceat premium to 1 % cent discount.
Legal Teader Notes have beea inactive at the Board, hut large res
were made oa tbe street within a range of 733{@741sc. Considerable
amouats have beea converted this week into 7-30 Government Bouds,
anda good demaad has prevailed for other purposes. We are ia
receipt of a0 later telegraphic advices from the Hast.
The Sbare Market since Saturday last has been somewbat variable
aad irregular. Most leadiag stocks are stronger, aad have beea dealt
in at eabanced rates, while otliers are-in rather less favor, and inactive
at lower figures. No importunt developments have been made this
week, but certaia indications were met with of sufficient eacouragement to iaduce a little speculation in a few claims. Notwithstaadiag
the apparent waremunerativo character of most investmeats at this
time, a aumter of operators seem to he eager to become buyers upoa
the least show of aa advaace.:
Gould & Curry was sold at $1,500@1,450, aad is now held at $1,500.
The receipts of bullion from this miae for tbe month ‘of July exceeded
$175,000, and a surplus remained at the credit of the company after
the paymeat of the last dividead. 1t is estimated by those who appear
to be well informed on the subject, that a reserve of at least 25,000
tons of good ore can yet be takea from the upper portion of the
niiae.
Alpha has met with no sale this week, and is freely offered at $1,450.
The hoistiag works of this company are now in successful operation,
and it is thought tbe product of tbe mise will bencefortb be largely
increased.
Yellow Jacket has heen ia much hetter favor, and 137 feet were sold,
advanciag from $1,200 to $1,350, receding to $1,295. rallyiag to $1,350,
and chaagiag baads yesterday at'$1,370@1,400. During tbe last week
in July tbe product of tbis miae amounted to 1,381 toas of ore, averaging $37.19 per ton, 302 tons of which were worked at the company’s mills, and 1,088 tone at outside mills. A aew developmeat was
made tbis week in the southern portion of tbe miae which is said to
promise well for tbe future. Tbe actual reduction of the debt of this
compaay amouated to $40,071. 89 over and above extraordinary expeuses, which exceeded $50,000.
Savage has been tolerahly well maintained withia a range of $1,200
@1,230, closlng at $1,210 bid, $1,220 asked. There is a0 material
cbaage ia auy portioa of this mine.
Crowa Poiat is decidedly stroager, and 75 feet were sold, advancing
from $950 to $990, recediug to $980, rallying to $1,070, and closing at
$1,110. The main shaft is now down below the 300 feet station. ‘I’be
nortbeast end of the 230 feet level is said to show a hody of ore 25 feet
wide.
Belcher is inactive but stronger. Trifling sales were made at $840@
900, closing at $900 bid. Hale & Norcross was sold at $550.
Ophir opened at $415, rose to $425, fell to $395, aad sold at the
close at $395@365.
Empire Mill & Miaing Compaay was sold at $425 4 share, ex-dividend of $20 9 share paid on the 10th iast. ‘I'be receipts of bullioa
from this miae for the moath of July amounted to some $70,000.
Some 3,000 tons of 2d aad 3d class ore were hoisted to the surface during this period, about oae-half of which was treated at tbe conipany’s
luill.
Chollar rose from $495 to $510, bnyer 30, recediag to $475, seller
30, and $485 cash, and sold yesterday at $500. Within this
range 278 feet were dealt ia. ‘'I'be southera portioa of the miae is
yielding about 50 tons, of ore per day.
Potosi has been active, and 364 feet wero sold, opeaing at $480,
dropping to $455, rallying to $470, then receding to $450, and closing
at about $472. Tbere is said to be a0 material chaage in tbe appearance of the lower level of this mine.
Uncle Sam, early in the week, was in more favor than at the close of
last week, advancing from $270 to $315; since then it declined to
$215, rallied to $250, and closed yesterday at $240@230—ia all some
834 shares changiug hands.
Overman rose to $300, fell to $200, rallied to $240, aad sold yesterday at $235@230. From the 4th and 5th levels of this mine about
100 tons of ore are aow taken, but receat crushings are said to be uufavorable.
Imperial opened at $230, fell to $220, advanced to $22734, ex-dividend of $10 $ share paid on Thursday, tben sold at $230, aad closed
at about $226. The first cleans up this month from the company’s
mills is said to be very favorable, realizing over $30 per ton.
Minerva fell from $155 to $140-~assessment unpaid—aud is now
held at $140. Active operations are to be resumed by the aew incorporation in the 400 feet of ground adjotaing the Alpha claim. The
Exchequer company comprises 8,000 shares of stock, aad is inquired
for at $30 per share.
Bullion is in rather less favor, and 126 shares were sold, declining
from $172 to $157)4, and closing at $150. Coafidence fell from $135
per %B share to $120, and sold yesterday at $120.
Daney met with a decided improvement this week, and 600 feet were
dealt in, steadily advaacing from $15 to $50, aad selling yesterday at
$35@41. Advices frou this claimare favorable. Ia drifting west, at a
depth of 200 feet from the aew shaft, a body of good ore has beea disclosed, and in runniag from the 265 feet level, under the old works,
some pay ore has also beea found. Developments in the prospecting
shaft, sunk on the west end of the miae are said to promise well,
and from this poiut ore coataining sone gold is being hoisted to tbe
sarface.
Sierra Nevada has been dealt ia to the exteat of 1,500 shares, decli-aing from $29 to $20, and closing at $21. North American fell from ~
