MINES.

THIS DAY.

Two o'Cioca.
For Gold shares the market is quiet, the dealers
awaiting the course of action. in the other markets.
The quotations of the non-official list are as follows:
Colonial Gold, Zto prem. ; Australian Freehold,
1-16 die. to 1.16 prem.; Port Philip, par to 1-16 prem.;
Lake Bathurst,'Quartz Rock, London and Californian
Crushing Co., Victoria, Sierra Nevada, and Devon
and Cornwall mines, par to 1 prem.
A good deal of value attaches to the parliamentary
returns showing the relative distribution of our
trade in metals with the various countries of the
globe, but in this shape the figures come down no
later than the sth of January, 1831. For the twelve
months ending with the above date the imports of
copper ore and regulus into the United Kingdom
comprised 23,231 tons from Cuba, 6,988 from South
Australia, 5,562 from Chili, 1,563 from Peru, 1,189
from New South Wa1e5,1,033 from France, 946 from
Spain, 777 from Holland, 542 from the British East
Indies, 482 from Victoria (Port Philip), 400 from
New Zealand, and 137 from Van Diemen's Land,
besides a few smaller amounts from other quarters,
making a total of 45,861 tons. Of copper unwrought,
or part wrought (including bars, rods, and ingots),
the chief sources of import were as follows, viz. :
Chili, 3,326 tons; Peru, 240; South Australia, 218;
New South Wales, 42; and Holland-, 56; the total
amounting to 4,880 tons. The exports of copper
from the kingdom for the same year show our chief
customers tote the following states, viz. :—The Bri-
tish East Indies, which took 6,744 tons; France,
4,649 tons ; the United States, ' 2,539; Holland,
1,542 ; Italy, 1,094: the Hanseatic' Towns, 870;
Belgium. 819; Brazil, 374; British gorth America,
330; British Australia, 234; Foreign West Indies,
299. The total export was 21,307 tons of British
copper, and 854 tons of foreign produce. In
this list it will be seen that the United States
hold the third position in point of im-
portance, but in future years the demand for this
quarter cannot fail to experience a considerable
diminution as the yield from the mines of the Lake
I Superior region, or "Copperdom" as some of th
American journals have christened it, become more
fully developed. Already large smelting works have
been established under the auspices of New York and
Pittsburg capitalists, and writers on the other side
look forward to the time when the Union will be in-
dependent of Great Britain for her supply of copper.
By the figures given above, Australia is shown to
have exported copper ingots in 1850 to a large ex-
tent; on the other hand, the imports into Great
Britain in that shape from the colony are very small.
Our view of the diversion of the trade in copper
hitherto carried on between this country and the
East Indian and other markets is thus strikingly
confirmed.
