Not a single transaction is officially reported in the
Stock Exchange.
United Mexican shares have been dealt in at 3
and 39., being still rather flat. Santiago are marked
21 and 21.

BATCROAT EVENING.
The market for home mining stocks to-day was
very quiet, and, in the absence of inquiry, prices in
some caws exhibit a drooping tendency. Great
Wheal Alfred, Great Wheal Vor, South Frances,
and Lady Bertha shares were all flat.
United Mexican shares were rather flat. Other
descriptions present no new feature.
