The share market has been without much fluctua-
tion during the week. A considerable amount of
business, however, has been done, and altogether tho
increased movement which has for sonic months
railed in the market for mining shares, as contrasted
with the inactivity by which it was formerly eliarae-
terised, has been fully borne out by the results of the
' past week. Where any change in prices has oc-
curred, it is generally in an upward sense. Tho
chief alteration in this respect consists of an advance
in Tremayne, which have risen from 20 to 24 ; and
an improvement in Alfred Consols, which have gone
up from 16 to 19. The increased value of shares in
this latter mine is owing to an improvement in the
80 fathom level, of which a full report first appeared
in the Daily Noes. Young mines have attracted
much attention this week, and large transactions
have taken place in South l'amar,Garreg, last Gun-
nis Lake, Merlin, 3:c. One of the chief features of
the week has been the announcement of a new min-
ing company, entitled the Kenmaro and West of
Ireland Milling Company. The favour which mining
investments are acquiring in public opinion is suffi-
ciently proved by the circumstance that though the
shares in this undertaking are limited to 20,000 in
number, applications have been received, as we aro
informed, for no less than 300,000. The consequence
of this demand has been that the shares have risen to
a premium of 2/. per share.
