MINES.

THIS DAY.

Two o'CLocx.
In the Stock Exchange to-any there have been a
few trannactions in the preferable descriptions of
gold mining shares, hut the large number of these
adventures now in course of formation, has an unfu-
vourable influence on prices. The improvement in
Ague Fries is pretty well supported.

SATrEDAY EVENING..

As regards business in Britisiinites-thi;;l;;Seitu'n
been a very satisfactory week, numerous and exten-
sive transactions having offered in the various classes
of adventures, both dividend and speculative.
Prices are consequently firm, and, amongst others,
Mei.liens and Garregs have risen, whilst Alfred Con-
sols, West Caradon. West Providence, and Mary Aun
all inert with a good inquiry. Ituring the whole week,
however, attention has been in a great measure
directed to Australian and Californian gold mining
enterprise, which has attained a further extra-
ordinary development, especially in connexion with
our colonial gold fields. Indeed, it may safely be
said that no similar stimulus has been given to this
brunch of enterprise for many years. Somo of the
schemes put forward meet with little favour, and
great difficulty is experienced in getting together
sufficient capital to start with; but to some of the
adventures a highly favourable reception has been
given, and already high rates of premium are talked of.
Preen the small amount of the shares, and theabsence
'of extended liability, large numbers of the Califor-
nian shares have found their way into the hands of
the public, by whom they arc quietly held with a
view to see the ultimate result of the adventure; and
it is probable that on the final establishment of the
colonial undertakings, a similar operation will take
place.
In the Stock Exchange the new gold share mar-
ket has been characterised by a great deal
of activity. At the beginning of the week, there
was every indication of a decided movement
in them, but the subsequent depression that has
reigned in the funds has discouraged operations, and
imparted a good dcul of flatness to prices. Agua
Frias, however, form a marked exception, the price
having experienced a sudden rise. owing to intelli-
gence of the conclusion of highly favourable arrange-
ments in California, and rich discoveries in the mine.
Present pikes will be found on reference to the
official list given below.
The quotations of the Australian shares range as
follows: Australasian, Ito 1 prem.; Colonial Gold '
Mining, preen.; Australian Freehold, to I prem.;
Australian Auriferous and British Australian, par to
