MMES.-THIS DAY.

Two o'CLoot.
Owing partly to the approach of the settlement,
there has not been much business this morning in
British mining stocks. The transactions have been
chiefly confined to shares in East Basset, East Cain
Brea, East Wheal Rumen, Tincroft, North Downs,
and Camborne Vean mines. There is no change of
importance in prime.
Linares Mining shares are inquired for, and have
been dealt in at wi and 104, ea dlr. English and
Australian Copper shares are marked 2f to 21.
Those of the Labuan Coal Company are quoted
to 1 prem.
The subscription list for shares in the Devon
Union Mining Company will be closed on the
20th instant.

The second annual meeting of the North Rhine
Copper Mining Company of South Australia is
called for the 25th instant.
A continuance of just enough business to keep
I priors up is pretty nearly all that can be said of
metals. Copper has not been sold to any extent,
either by the English makers or holders of foreign,
but the prices of ores keep up fairly. iron is
unchanged as regards manufactured, but Scotch
pig has been gradually advancing, say to &2s. 6d.
cash, owing to the belief that beneficial results will
arise from the new French duties. Tin keeps
steady. Spelter is again a trifle higher, some fair
extent of business having been done. Lead is
quiet, and rather favouring buyers. Tin plates are
unchanged.
An extmardinery meeting of the Devon Kapanda Copper
and Silver land Miring Oempany is called for the
'23rd hat., to madder the propriety of continuing the com-
pany or otherwise, elm of amalgamating with a new
company.

gearnoto' rt war considered very satisfactory. Mr. T. Field
sent in his resignation of his post as secretary, which was
accepted with regret.
