Respecting the movements in mines during the
week, the Mining Journal of to-day says
For a few good progressive Mines-there has been a de-
mand, especially for 'Herodsfoot shares, which have been
much sought after at 6,1 to 7! ; Tehidy 24 to 21, I. ast
Trefusis 5f to 6, East Basset 36 to 38 ; South- Francis •is
looking much better in the 104, west of cross course, and
several shares have changed han-is at 295 to 305, Basset
250 to 260 ; Buller shares are very flit at 300, Clifford
250; a short time since they were 550; United Mines 150
to 200 ; these latter mines, Clifford and United, seem to be
affected by the stoppage of the J-reat Consols, and the fear
that the water would rise to) rapidly for them. St. Day
United shares have been flat at one, for the same reason;
Trevoole shares have been inquired after at 113 to 12; ; a
fine lode is reported, worth £lO to £35 per fathom ; the
mine adjoins Header and Ras.3warne ; Render shares are
flat at lf, Alfred Consols 17, Great Alfred shire 4 not 5..) firm
this week at 7 to 7i,West Bassi 29 to 30, North Bas Set flat
at 17 .; this is a fall of £l9 per-share in a few months; and the
mine is in a district where a sudden discovery would Cause a
great reaction, and many are watching the mayket ; West
Caradon flit at 140, South Caradon 340 to 345; Berriow
Consols have been in demand, but shares difficult to get ;
this mine is in the Caradoa district, and with a fair lode
in the shaft; Trelawney, 231 24; Wrey, 7 (rather better); I
Grenville, 11. to 12, aA inquired after ; Trewetha; 2i to
VI; • Wheal Uny, 3a ; Drake Wells, 2 to 21; Great.S mth
Tolgus,-17 to 18 ; St.' Aubyn and Gryils, 4 to 41; Wheal
Margaret, 55 to 60 ; ProVidefiee Mines, 70 to 72; ;
',Cook's
Kitchen, .s"to 5/ ; Pollard, §-„„ ; Wheal E lwerd shares have
kept pretty firm at 6* to qv; Mary Ann,4s, -ex div. of
,Z 2 ss. per share, declared on Tuesday; the mine made a
clear profit of of •.E2,948. on I heltiarter, and after declaring
the above dividend (L 2,304), and paying £2OO for a new
£1,644 18s. 41. -is carried to the credit of next
account.; the mine is looking well, and sold on May 30
(not credited in the accounts), 93 tons of silver-ead ore, at
£26 Bs-. per ton. Whilst .the copper and tin mines, ther -
fore, are decreasing, the teal mines are increasing their.
returns and their profits.
The General Produce_ Markets during the week
have been active;'and quotations of most of the
principal staples have continued firm. Sugar has
been in active demand among the specigators,,and
atvadvance of Is per cwt. has' been firmly main-
tained. There has been a good inquiry for coff,e,
and floating cargoes of Rio have been sold at a rise
df l.s to is 6d per cwt. On the-spot also prices have
ruled firmer. Cocoa has be.en.stealy, tea quiet, and
rice at a decline, with limited transactions. Rum
has realised previous rates-.; saltpetre has slightly
-declined, •and spices have been in moderate request
at former.-quotations, Tallow has advanced, and a
fair business has been done.

No particular alteration .appears to have taken
place in the condition of trade in the manufacturing
districts during the past week, but many of the
mills are still being worked short time. In Mal:
cheater, hoWever, slight improvement has been.
'reported, bOt:h as regards demand and quotations
Some.further small failures have occurred, inelitd.
ing two Calico firms - viz., Messrs. Elwin and,Co.;
and Messrs. Brewer and Co., biit the accounts
inVolVed are unimportant. At Leeds a .moderate
business has-been done, and at 'Huddersfield more
animation has prevailed. In Rochdale, Bradforci;
and Leicester, the demand for goods is limited,bilt,
no change is recorded in quotations.

The -state of-trade in the north of Ireland shows
a considerable improvement in many respects on
that of the week preceding. Anticipations of an
easier Gash Market gave confidence, and transac-
tions have been less limited. We have still to
notice a very languid action in the Cotton manu-
facture. Most of the houses engaged in this trade
in Ireland have dismissed numbers of their hands.
and have only kept on the best workers for the
production of the Coarser kind of, goods, while the
wages have been- cut down .very. considerably.. The
linen trade continues in a healthy state, with-
out any marked change from the state of
affairs ruling last week. We perdeive -that
those " out" on strike in Bellaet,. have
evinced an inclination to make terms with their
late employers, who, it is to
,be hoped, will meet
them in a liberal spirit. The weavers of Drogheda
are also at feud with their .employers, and much
acrimony hag been imported into the contest.
Some of the malcontent workmen afe to be tried at
the coming assizes for outrages condemned by a
general meeting of the trade, and which, it is to be
hoped., for the credit of the weavers as a class, they
had. no hand in committing.
