An extraordinary meeting of the Central Italian
Copper Mining Company (Limited) is called for the
15th of July, to receive " a special report from the
directors as to the position of the company."
' Mr. Peter Watson has collected together an ac-
, eount of sixty-two of the principal dividend mines
of Cornwall and Devon, giving the name of the
mine, number of shares, shareholders, original
mall:), per share, the amount of dividends
paid per share, the present market price, likewise
the dividends ind market value together. It is an
interesting and useful list, and illustrates the
enormous profits derived from investments in
Cornish and Devon mining.
Wit,; reference to the general prospects of the
mining maricet., 91$1 Mining circular of )Ir. W.
Avow has the following :
The mining ahem market retains much steadiness, while*
dimmed from the public for the lending under-
takings has strengthened the general The fort•
nightly settlement is now in progress. To extent, this
ha, arrested the inquiry, but it is showing a gradual
tine of stock by the public, which testifies to their d alesrrfte to
obtain sound investments, notwithstanding the prospect of
mosey remaining et its present price. The mousy market
is Dot in an unfavourable condition for mining Interest..
Xining shares are generally less affected by its chutes than
other securities ; and this was exemphied last week by the
steadiness which these securities showed when Consols, In-
dian stooks, and railway shares were all depressed through
the movements at the Bank and in Lombardstreet. The
rates remain at 6 par cent. On the other hand, if mining
shares are but little moved by advancing rates for money
they ere very sensitive to a reduction in its price. Thus, if
the minimum rate of discount were to be reduced to 5 per
cent, there would be • simultaneous rise in the value of
mining shares, sad the public would be eager buyers of
many descnptions which they would not look at before.
It is satisfactory, however, to find that the tendencies of
the money market, though we are now at a period of the
quarter when rims pressure must be expected, are not
opposed to investment, in legitimate undertakings.
