The home mining stock market has not recovered
from its late dulness. A fair amount of business
was done to-day in shares in East Wheel Rural,
North Robert, and St. Day United, but at lower
prioes. Great South Tolgus, Great Wheal Alfred,
North Frances, Wheal Buller, and Wheal Edward
shares were all cheaper. Tincroft were inquired for.
The following are some of the closing quotations :
East Russell, 7to / ; Tincroft, 4 to / ex dir, ;
North Robert, 4; to 61 ; St. Day United, to 1;
Virtuous Lady and Wheal Bedford, 225. 6d. ; North
Tavy, 21 to 3 ; Alfred Consols, 111 to ; Great
Wheal Alfred, 61 to 6 ; Par Consols, 201 ; and
Wheal Edward, 71 to I.
