Meney contiow:s nbundant, and there ts oo difficulty in negotiating anything erdmurily uceeptable in Baok. ‘The demand upon MMising Stock eullaterals ts active, and certain shares are io more favor with cnpitalists than for months past, as a basis for loans on short time. Rates of interest etill rule at L@@t1¢ @ cent. per month in Bank, ond nt 11 7@1 sy for outsidn transactions. ’ ‘The busiuess of the Bourd during the week has been much heuvivr than ogual, Suime leading stocks lave improved, and are finnly held at the advanee, while othera wero exceedingly buoyant ot fluctuating rates, and closod with less strength than at the date of our last reyrt. A nomber of cluinis are new yielding lnrgely, and their prescnt eonditivn is such as tu insure tho belief that they ure not likely to become less preduetive fer sume time to come, One Company las Jared its first dividend ; several are out of debt. with a reserve on hand, and others are preparing to uceaniulate a find for stoekholders. ‘More economy, and better julzinent now snems to be used in the adquinistration of the affairs of these Companies, aud ths good results of sueli a policy will soon be appurent in increased profits, A camber of low-priced Stocks have been uetive this week, aod [urined quite a feature of the daily transactions. Crown Point lias met with small snles; opening at $1,350, receding to $1,290, rallying to $1,300, then selling nt $1,175—ex dividend of $50 per foot—und closing yesterday at $1,150 bid. Alter tho payment of a dividend tor the month of February, a surplus of $15,000 was cnrried furwurd out of the net earnings fur thut period. Since the lst instant, tlle reeeipts of Bullion huve exceeded $40,000, and during the week ending the 9th, 700 tons of ore were extracted Irom the mine. In ranning sotith, 23 feot from the north line on tho lower level, an improvement hus taken place, ond the tacline from that level now down 27 feet (G0 feet from the uorth line), is also looking well. In drifting into the extreme west deposit at a depth of 300 feet, it is said thut ore worth sone $40 per ton has been disclosed. Sume 25 tons of first-class ores have been delivered to the Central Mill recently. Biioso was deult in to the extent of 150 feet, rising from $1,050 to $1,100, receding to $1,018, rallying to $1,020, then selling ut $960, nl closing at $990. ‘Vhis mine 1s sow producing an average of 70 tuns per day, chiefly Irom the upper levels. tis said that the old or main working shaft will be counected with the drift from the hottom of thn winze in the sixth level, on or about thn 1st of April, and then be ready tor the extraction ol ures at that depth. In’ the openings already male on the sixth station, a body of ore 20 feet wide and 90 feet in length, has been develeped without having reaeled its limits. Meeeipts of Bullion duriug the first half of this month, umvuunted to suine $70,0U0, and the Company are now said to be out of deht, excluding the monthly intallmeuts due upon the Minnesota Mill. ‘Ihe average yield ol 2,400 tous of seeoud-class ore last month, Was $50.22 per tou, and 100 tons first-elass ore produced $300 per ten. Hule & Norcross rose from $1,050 to $1.150, receded to $1,010, then sold at $1,090, and was deult in yesterday at $1,000. The ore product of the mine this mouth will probably amount to 2,000 tons, worth $40 to $45 per ton. ‘Ibn ageregate yield of Bullion last month exeeeded $49,000, and sinee tho Ist instant tbe receipts have amounted to $23,000. Gould & Curry has been dull and inactive, and trifling sales were made ut $1,050, seller 15, closing at $975 bid. The only recent ehange to note hus been the tapping of a econsiderahle body of water ip the north brunch drift from the second station, which is supposed to indicute the elose proximity of a large seum of quarlz.
