MONDAY EVENING.
The transactions in home mining stocks to-day

perienced, including shares in South Wheal Frances,
Wheal Basset, South Caradoo, Condurrow, North
Basset, West Basset, East Basset, Wcst Alfred
Console, Vale of Towy, and Sortridge Console. East
Wheal Rose shares have been offered, without finding
buyers. South Tolgue are quoted lower. The
market closed generally with some improvement in
tone, owing to the aspect of foreign politics.
The gold mining shares and other foreign and
colonial mining stocks present little feature.
