From the Stock Circular of Associated Brokers of the 8. F. Stock & Exchange Board.
San Franotsco, Sarorpay Mornino, Sept. 29th, 1866.
he Money Market preseate no new featares worthy of especial
note. There is a elight augmcatation of deposit halances in some of
the banks, and we hear of less stringency in mavy quarters, althongh
tbe demand continues active upon prime paper and other first-class
securities; at 1@114 # cent. per month. Little or no difficulty is
experienced in mercantile circles in obtaining all the facilities required
for legitimate husineee purposes, and the merchants geuerally are iu a
eound and healtby condition. ‘Tbere is coasiderable doing in Real
Estute, and an nousually large number of first-class improvements are
vigorously noder way ia different portions of the city. For these porposes money is readily obtaiuable at low rates of interest.
Receipts of Treasure from tbe interior are about up to the usaal
average, and during the.current month amounted to some $4,000,000.
Tbe Sub-Treasurer, in this city, shipped Hast, on Government account,
$500,000, by the steamer St. Louis, making av aggregate of $8,500,000
thus far since January Ist.
Bullion is meeting with rather more inquiry,aad it is helieved that
important shipments of Silver Bars will be mnde to China hy the two
vessels now loading at this port. Gold Bars are a shade bettcr at
840@845, and Silver is quotable at about 112 % cent. discount for
round lots.
Currency Bills on the Atlantic cities are offered at 38@39 @ cent.
premium on Gold. Sight Dratts, payable iv coin, are selling at 214
cevot. premium, and Telegrapbic Transfers are made at 3 4 cent.
premium. Sterliag may be quoted at 481!4@49d. for best Bankers’
Bills; Commercial do. at 4914 @50d.
Our latest telegraphic advices from the East, to the 27th inst.
quote Gold at 145, and Sterling Excbange ut 108@10814.
City Stocks have been dealt ia to a limited extent during the past
week. Steam Navigation Compaay sold at 7214 cent., or $725 FP
ehare of $1,000, aad closed yesterday ot 71 {8 ct. bid, National Iusurauce Company comianded $76.50 $ shore ; at the close we quote it
at $76, hid. We quote San Francisco Gas Company at $140;
Spriug Valley Water Company at $62; and State Telegraph at $32.
At a meeting of the stockholdere of the Colifornia Steam Navigvtion Company, held last Saturday, it was decided by an informal vote
—no quorum being present—not to increase the stock of said company from $2,500,000 to $5,000,000. Unanimity prevailed in regard
to re-issuiag the shares at a $100 iastead of $1,000 as at present.
This will place tbe shares much more advantageously ia the market,
allowing persons of limited means to invest.
We note the formation and incorporation of the Builders’ Insnrance
Company with a capital of $50,000, divided into 500 shares of $100
each. The husiness of this Company will he carried on in connection
with the California Building and Loan Socicty. Thomas Mooney,
Nathaniel Page, and others, are the incorporators. This makes the
eleveath on tbe list of ome iasurance compauies now iu existence in
this city.
Tbe Mining Shure Market hus continued in a very invctive condition during the period under revicw. ‘T’his flut aud dormant state of
tbe market bos prevailed for a month or more past, and recent developments ia the great, Comstock lode have not, to any degree, added
buoyancy to the inarket. Operations are steadily and vigorously prosecuted on vearly all claims now quoted in the Board, and an improvement, it is hoped, will manifest itself before many weeks. Lack of
accommodations in the money market may, to,a great extent, be cited
as a cause for restricted speculative transactions; and, as for permanent investment in this class of securities, the market may be said to
he hare. The sales in the Board, witb few exceptions, are now confined to shares of companies locuted on the Comstock vein.
Tbe firmness witb which Hale & Norcross is beld is a sure indication of tbe usual eteady yield of this mine. No sales have been made
in tbe Board duriag the past month. We quote it at $1,800, asked.
Savage opened ut $1,110@1,128, buyer 30, dealjned to, $1,105, and
held yesterday at $1,115. ‘his mine has not been worked to its full
capocity for some time past, partly on account of the ecarcity of teams
to remove the metal and the crowded state of the compaay’s ore
houses. Little ore has been extracted from the richest breasts. The
4th and 5th stations of this mine bave improved materially during the
week ending Sept. 22d, producing more and a better quality of ore.
The yield from the soutb brenst of the Curtis shaft is steadily increasing. In the niuth drift of the Curtis shaft ore of a mediam quality,
which is improving daily, was reached at a distance of 200 feet south
from the south face of the sixtb station. During the week ending
Sept. 22d, 824 tons of ore were extracted, the estimate valne of which
ig given at $30.440. The estimated profits stated ia our last issue
were the result of only four days’ work.
Crown Point remains quiet, changing hands at $870@900, seller 3,
and at the close is quoted at $875. Good ore has been found in the
400 foot station—lower level—with fair prospecte of an improvement
in the quality by further developments. ‘Ihe estimated yield of bullion for the present moath muy he stated at ahont $110,000. Tbe roceipts of builiou to the 25th, have been $72,000. During the week
eading Sept. 23d, 642 tone of second-class, and 5 tons first-class ore
have been raised from the mine.
Gould & Curry shows a slight improvement, without any epecial
inquiry ; only a few feet were sold during the past week, opening at
$600, tbea selling at $610, and closing at $610, nsked. he search
after increased deposits of ore hns not, up to this time, proved successful; otherwise the niue remains in good condition.
Yellow Jacket hus been largely dealt ia during the past week, opening at $700, dropping to $635, rallying to $672.50, and closing yesterday at $682. During tho week ending Sept. 24th, somo 6 toue of firstclass, and 1,854 tons of second-class ore bave been oxtracted from
ae ane, and the total yield of bullion for this period exceeded
$61,500.
Ophir receded from $207.50 to $197.50, seller 30, then eold at $200,
seller 10, und closed at $207, asked. :
Chollar-Potosi opened ot $115, ndvanced to $121, eeller 3, receded
to $107, then eald at $110, seller 30, and closed yesterday ut $110.
The work on the new ehoft, in all the various etatione, has been ngain
resumed, nad so lor no important developiwents have been made. In
drifting vortb on tbe Ist station, a narrow helt of quartz, some 18
jaches wide, bas been encountered. This 1s considered a fayornble
indication of obtaining ore as further progress ie made. During the
yee ending Sept. 22d, some 627 tons of ore were shipped to Custom
ills.
Imperial improved a little during the week, opening at $81@80,
advancing to $84, and selling yesterday at $82. During the firet
three weeks of the present montb, eame $40,000 in hullion havo been
received. ‘Tbe mines of this company. we ore informed, are being well
devcloped—some estimate the amount of ore in sight in the several
stations to he sufficient to supply their present reduction capacity for
eigbteeu months to come.
Belcher fluctuated between $110@93, and closod at $94. Empire
Mill sold at $80, buyer 30, during the week. Confidence changed
hands ut $55, buyer 30. Bullion at $16; and Overman withiu arange
of $20.50@$16.25—vssesgment of $15 ov.
The nggregate sales of Stocks, Legal Tender Notes, ete., since Sniurday, amounted to $413 430.50.
