From the Stock Circular of Associated Brokers of the 8. F. Stock & Exchange Board. San Francisco, Saturnay Mornine, February 10th, 1866. The Money Markct is exceedingly easy, and the supply of loanable funds is so much in excess of the demand, that some first-class borrowers are obtaining accommodations at 10@12 4 cent. per annum. The current rates in Bank are 1@114 % cent. per month, upon good securities, aud at the lower figure commercial discounts are freely made, with a fair amount of paper offering. Leading,mining stocks are ohtaining rather more favor with certain capitalists as a collateral, and a number of negotiations of this character were made this weck upon favorable terms to the horrower. Receipts of treasure from domestic sources this'week have been light, and did not exceed $875,000. Bullion was in active demand for to-day’s eteamer, and gold bars met with a ready sale at 855@865. Silver has also been in more request, and is now qnotable at about 1 ¥# cent. premium for hars of average fineness. The improvement in the Mining Share market inaugurated last week has continued ina material degree, and nearly all first-class stocks have been actively dealt in at higher rates. Recent developments in one or two prominent claims are regarded with much favor, and confidence in their present and prospective value have been somewhat rostored. If good pay ore can be found at the depth now attained, it is thought that the continuity of certain portions of the Comstock lode, in depth and width, is well established, for some time to come at least. Hale & Norcross receded from $860 to $800, seller 30, stoadily advanced to $1,100, and sold yesterday at $1,005@940. Owing to the interruption this week to mail communication with Nevada, advices by letter are meager, as to the progress of recent explorations, but the latest telegraphic dispatches report no material “improvement in the body of ore alluded to last week, either in the north or south drifts. Savage has also shown a still further improvement, and nearly 200 fect were sold, advancing from $895 to $980, receding to $945, rallying to $970, and changing hands yesterday at $935@920. Since the 1st of January the receipts of bullion from the mine amounted to $180,000. In addition to the Minuesota and Ceutral mills, the Piute, Marysville, Land’e, and Santiago ‘mills, are now employed, with a crushing capacity in all of some 130 tons of ore per day. ‘The drift from the winze, 80 feet below the lowei level, has been driven 80 feet tu the east. Gould & Curry fell from $850 to $820, rose to $850, and closed at about $825 bid. The receipts of bullion last month amounted to $133,000. The company’s mill turned out $76,836 from 2,750 tons of ore and tailings. The balance ($56,276) was derived from outside mills. ‘ Crown Point has been inactive, but rather well maintained, advancing from $775 to $820, dropping to $775, rallying to $825, and selling yesterday at $800@835. During the month of January the compauy’s mills crushed 1,090 tons of ore, and outside mills 210 tons, the average yield being $39 per ton. During the week ending February 2d, 490 tons of ore were extracted from this mine, 369 tons of which came from the lower level. On the vein of the latter the north drift hag now extended 71 feet, and the south drift about 70 feet. .A stope has been made 17 feet in hight, and 15 feet wide. Yellow Jacket has hecn in better favor, and some 225 feet were sold, advaucing from $385 to $435, dropping to $370, rising to $450, and selling yesterday at $450@40714. Telegraphic advices speak favorably of recent developments in the lower level. Ophir receded from $395 to $370, advanced to $450, and was dealt in yesterday at $450@435. Shipments of bullion during the first week of this month amounted to some $10,000. The River mill has stopped work for the present, and the company now propose to sely the grade of ores usually sent to that establishment for reduction. Alpha rose from $275 to $325, receded to $280, and sold yesterday at -$8280@290. The company are said to be earning something over and above current expenses. Belcher fell from $200 to $155, rallied to $185, and closed at about $295, seller 30. Chollar-Potosi has attracted some attention, and more than 600 feet were dealt in, advancing from $257 to $290, receding to $275, rallying again to $290, then selling at $285(@278, and closing at $277. Intelligence from these claime is favorahle, although no special change can be noted. Iu the Bajazetta ground, the bottom of the stopes being full of ore, have been raising up on the face, and at that point an improvement is shown. The new station, 50 feet below the Potosi tunnel, continues to look well. During the week ending February 3d, 69634 tons of ore were sent to custom mills. We are informed, upon good authority, that the total indebtedness of this company, both here .and in Nevada, will not at this time amount to $5,000—cerediting in full the recent assessment of $100 per share. we Empire Mill and Mining was sold yesterday at $215. The bnllion product of this mine, last month, exceeded $39,000. Imperial rose from $11214 to $120, fell to $11314, and sold yesterterday at $114. The last clean-up of the company’s two mills amounted to $31,836.44, making an aggregate of $81,256.51 for the month of January, from some 3,000 tons of ore. We nnderstand that the surplus on hand is sufficient to cancel their present liabilities. Bullion rose from $46 to $57 receded to $51, rallied to $55, declined to $52, and sold yesterday at 252@5214. Overman rose from $45 to $49, and closed at $50 bid. Exchequer hasbeen dealt in to the extent of some 800 shares, within a range of 6144@7\, closing at $634. Sierra Nevada rose from 614 to 844, and sold yesterday at $914. . Lady Bryan has revived again, and nearly 1,000 shares changed hands, advancing from $5 to $634, and closing at $214. Daney has been sold within a range of $8@9, closing at $8 asked; and Wide West was sold at $734. The aggregate sales of Stocks and Legal Tender Notes since Saturday last amounted to $1,044,435,75.

From the Stock Circular of Associated Brokers of the 8. F. Stock & Exchange Board. San Francisco, Saturnay Mornine, February 10th, 1866. The Money Markct is exceedingly easy, and the supply of loanable funds is so much in excess of the demand, that some first-class borrowers are obtaining accommodations at 10@12 4 cent. per annum. The current rates in Bank are 1@114 % cent. per month, upon good securities, aud at the lower figure commercial discounts are freely made, with a fair amount of paper offering. Leading,mining stocks are ohtaining rather more favor with certain capitalists as a collateral, and a number of negotiations of this character were made this weck upon favorable terms to the horrower. Receipts of treasure from domestic sources this'week have been light, and did not exceed $875,000. Bullion was in active demand for to-day’s eteamer, and gold bars met with a ready sale at 855@865. Silver has also been in more request, and is now qnotable at about 1 ¥# cent. premium for hars of average fineness. The improvement in the Mining Share market inaugurated last week has continued ina material degree, and nearly all first-class stocks have been actively dealt in at higher rates. Recent developments in one or two prominent claims are regarded with much favor, and confidence in their present and prospective value have been somewhat rostored. If good pay ore can be found at the depth now attained, it is thought that the continuity of certain portions of the Comstock lode, in depth and width, is well established, for some time to come at least. Hale & Norcross receded from $860 to $800, seller 30, stoadily advanced to $1,100, and sold yesterday at $1,005@940. Owing to the interruption this week to mail communication with Nevada, advices by letter are meager, as to the progress of recent explorations, but the latest telegraphic dispatches report no material “improvement in the body of ore alluded to last week, either in the north or south drifts. Savage has also shown a still further improvement, and nearly 200 fect were sold, advancing from $895 to $980, receding to $945, rallying to $970, and changing hands yesterday at $935@920.

Yellow Jacket has hecn in better favor, and some 225 feet were sold, advaucing from $385 to $435, dropping to $370, rising to $450, and selling yesterday at $450@40714.
