some demand for those of the Ages Fria Company.
Fortuna and Lusitanion mining shares continue to
show an improving tendency, but the other foreign
descriptions, in which such large transactions have
taken place lately, including United Mexican, San-
tiago, Australian Mining, and National Brazilian
(Cocaes), all experienced an unfavourable reaction.
The directors of the Port Phillip Colonial Gold
Mining Company have received despatches from the
seekleet disentre at Melbourne, to the 28th of lan.,
enelosing the accounts to the end of lest year. "The
resident director states that he had at length obtained
possession of mining ercund for the company, namely,
the portion of the Woolohed Creek first applied for,
which he had no doubt would prove a valuable piece
of ground for the company's mining operations,
which had accordingly been commenced." We un-
derstand that the accounts to the end of Deo. are now
to hand, and that it is the intention of the directors
to call a meeting of the shareholders at an early date.
