MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Alining Journal of this day.)
There has been considerably less business doing this
week in shares, owing chiefly to the general election,
and the excitement naturally occasioned thereby. Divi-
dend shares, however, are in demand, and prices are
well maintained. South Frances have advanced from
137 to 142, 145; West Caradon, from 145 to 160; Bas-
t set, from 475 to 500. Bedford United, Great .Polgooth,
Merllyn, South Tamar, and Tincroft are steady in price,
/
and business doing in all of them. Clive, Kilbricken,
Vale of Towy, Harriett, Trevelyan, and Wein Wheal
Alfred, are in fair request. Doubtless the prevent state
of the money, as well as metal market, will tend to pro-
mote largo dealings, not only in good dividend mines,
but likewise those of a productive character, indicating
their approach towards the same enviable result.
