Jones and Black report on May IS 1 '• Peace between England and Russia being now pretty, well assured, has led to more activity in the stock and share market during the last few days, and a fair amount of butiness in bank and other good in- • vesting stocks has been done at, in most instances, a slight advance on last month's quotations. The continued dry weather in the interior is causing some apprehension amongst the large stcckowners, and will no doubt have a stringent effect upon the money market until, there is a general fall of rain." , STOCK AND MINING ASSOCIATION.
