The English stock market showed increased firm-

TUESDAY RVIINING.

Business in British mining stocks to-day has been
inactive. We hear of no especial demand, and prices
show little change. The only sales reported are :
Wheal Trelawney, at 40, 41 ; Trefusia, 201; Gram.
bier and St. Aubyn, 224, 231 ; Wheal Uny, 81, 91;
Tavey Consols, 21, # ; Cwm Darren, 125., 13s. ;
Alton, 4t, 6.
The transactions in gold mining shares were rather
more numerous, but this department is still much
neglected. Prices were rather firmer, in sympathy
